Guest nWoScorpion Report post Posted August 2, 2002 The golden days of WWF Video Games. Where you had a option of 2 matches and around 6-10 guys. Now you have unlimited gaming but still the old school games rule. Favorite: WWF Royal Rumble. (Genesis) Easy controls, great roster. Plus the first game to include the Royal Rumble Match. Least Favorite: Steel Cage Challenge (NES) UGH! Bad Everything Here. Worst: WWF Wrestlemania (NES) Lower then UGH! Only 1 on 1, 6 wrestlers, and bad graphics. Better then SCC atleast.

Guest Your Olympic Hero1 Report post Posted August 3, 2002 Favorite - WWF Superstars (Game Boy) - kick ass Least Favorite - WWF King Of The Ring (NES) - graphics are alright, but the gameplay is pure shit Worst - WWF Wrestlemania (NES) - I bought it, I played it (once), I sold it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted August 3, 2002 Are we including 16-bit here? Favorite--WWF Raw (SNES) What a bad-ass selection of big names (Bret, Owen, HBK, Razor, Diesel, Undertaker, Yokozuna, Bam Bam, Luger, and 1-2-3 Kid. And Doink and Luna Vachon. Well, 10 out of 12 ain't bad.) I used to pick Luna Vachon, play a Royal Rumble match, and then climb the top rope so that whoever was #2 would immediately knock me out. Then I would sit back and watch the other 11 go at it, not knowing who was coming when, and hoping Bret would win each one! I was a lonely kid. Favorite 8-Bit--Wrestlemania Challenge. I like that one the best of the NES ones. I used to pick "Yourself", pretend it was Bret, and go through the ranks to whoop Hogan and Warrior's candy asses. Fun times. Looking back, though, that game was pretty low on good workers. Beefcake, Rude, Bossman, Hogan, Andre, Savage, Warrior, and someone that I'm forgetting. DiBiase? Least Favorite AND Worst--Steel Cage Challenge. Whoever thought that game could be fun on ANY level was masochistic. Decent entrance musics, other than that, nothing of note at ALL here. Sadly, this is Bret's first WWF video game appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted August 3, 2002 Jakyl is right... Raw for SNES fucking owned. Scratch that, it STILL owns. Other than that, most of them were pretty bad I thought, especially the NES. If Early Day includes the Arcade on though, with either Tag Tournament or Royal Rumble, that's up there with Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted August 3, 2002 I've yet to have played a pre-Playstation WWF game which I liked. Steel Cage Challenge did indeed suck hard. But I can't believe all the praise that Royal Rumble is getting here. A good roster to select from, yeah, but the gameplay itself is pretty bad. Even on Easy difficulty, just attempting to lock up and do a move results in an unfairly hard button-jamming contest which is nearly impossible to win. This happens EVERY TIME you attempt any sort of grappling move. So the game often ends up looking like a New Jack match: lotsa punches, and some weapons shots and eye gouges if you're outside the ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This happens EVERY TIME you attempt any sort of grappling move. That was why I would NEVER play 2P in the actual Royal Rumble match. It had that irritating button-mashing "horizontal timeglass" grapple, which would make any of my 2P fights last into the hours. As for great WWF games before the Playstation, ever tried "WWF Wrestlemania" for Sega? That game was horribly addicting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheDames7 Report post Posted August 3, 2002 Maybe its just me, but I never lost one of those hour glass grapples against the CPU. I did this weird motion with the controller that pressed all the buttons at the same time, quicker than a turbo feature.. the downside is i'd end up with a blister on my thumbs in 15 minutes.

Guest nWoScorpion Report post Posted August 3, 2002 Royal Rumble was pretty easy and i never had trouble beating te CPU in grapples. I'd usally win a match when I was 10 in 1:00 or less. Super WM is a different story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bravesfan Report post Posted August 4, 2002 I was implying that if you faced one of your friends in a 2P Royal Rumble, those matches would last into the hours. Neither would want to give up the grapple, because you would be thrown out immediately (...you could be thrown out even while in the middle of the ring).

Guest nWoScorpion Report post Posted August 4, 2002 That is true. Me and my Bro wiped out the other 10 guys, then went at it for 20 minutes. I reluctantly decided to climb the top rope and get elimanted to end it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
