My First Wrestling Game on the Dreamcast: WWF Royal Rumble

I haven’t played too many games on the Sega Dreamcast. There are a ton of great games on the system, and many of them are ports of arcade games. WWF Royal Rumble falls into that genre. This is an exclusive Dreamcast game. Yuke’s, the developers of the Smackdown games, handled the Dreamcast port. Both versionsContinue reading “My First Wrestling Game on the Dreamcast: WWF Royal Rumble”

Revisiting Smackdown! on the PS1

I didn’t watch Smackdown when I was a kid. Not because I didn’t want to, but because UPN wasn’t available where I lived. At least, that is how I think it works. It just wasn’t on our cable package, which feels strange to tell people today. This is a game that I made my friendContinue reading “Revisiting Smackdown! on the PS1”

WWF In Your House is a Good Arcade Wrestling Game

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up In Your House on the PS1/PSX. Aside from being a WWF wrestling game, I knew nothing about the game.

It was originally an arcade game with similar controls to the fighting games that Midway was creating at the time. This isn’t great as far as what I wouldContinue reading “Not Much Here: WWF WrestleMania The Arcade Game”

Awesome Graphics, Klunky Gameplay: WWF Raw on the SNES

WWF Raw is one of the games that I think I’ve played before this review. I might have been thinking about another WWF game on the SNES, but I thought I had played this before.

The Problem with WWF Steel Cage Challenge on NES

WWF Steel Cage Challenge is a game that I tried to enjoy. My only memories of playing this game are on an emulator. If my friends and I rented it in the early 90s, I have no memory of it. This is one of those games that fits the LJN stereotype. The character sprites areContinue reading “The Problem with WWF Steel Cage Challenge on NES”
