From LJN, 1992 for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The NES was on it's way out during this time ... the second to last WWF game released for this console.

This game features the standards of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase with video game debuts for Jake Roberts, Sid Justice, The Mountie, Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, IRS and The Undertaker. The graphic for selecting wrestlers is semi-decent ... probably the best feature is the themes which sound pretty good for the time. (IRS didn't have a theme ... his theme on this game is simply a typewriter typing.)

The actual matches are ... bad. The gameplay is miserable to say the least. Moves include punch, kick, bodyslam, slash, and stomp. It's difficult to get up when you've fallen and damn near impossible to make a pinfall cover. No finishers. And to win the "Steel Cage Challenge," all you have to do is climb to the top.

Furthermore, unlike previous games, the wrestlers are--for the most part--unrecognizable. These graphics were bad even for that time period. For example--The Mountie looks like Jimmy Snuka dressed in red and Sid looks like Ric Flair. Guys like Piper and Jake Roberts are virtually unrecognizable.

As previously stated, this game was bad even for 1992 standards. Aside from being the first video game incarnation of The Undertaker, Roberts and Piper, it's pretty much a waste.

Amazing that, back in the day, this game cost $30-something.
