Arcade Longplay [244] WWF Wrestlefest

[@kardo_6627]

If you grew up in this era you lived through the golden age of being a kid.

[@PeterWhiteprowrestler]

It was awesome

[@vaughnwalker1840]

Man I remember this game was one of the two wwf games the wrestlers were diesel as fuxk, they was all boney and shit like wwf superstars. I remember a skating rink had this shit

[@negank3016]

Amen. It was an awesome time to be a kid then

[@MattArseno]

Oh my god. Love this comment so much! I agree!!

[@ginesespadaalmansa7802]

So true! All the arcade fun, behind my house there was only fields, all around on the bike, a bit of tech, less political correctness...

[@mrbokke81]

38 years old in 2020 and outta no where this popped into my head. My mom would always have a little spare change on her for me as i absolutely loved this game and she never had much herself. Thanks mom RIP 😔

[@judahsoremy9857]

I'm sorry for your loss.

Sounds like an awesome Momma you had, like mine. May she RIP

The one wrestler to not be WWF champion.

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

​@@hectorlopez1069that makes no sense.

[@billjenkins3660]

I remember the summer of 1993 when I would play this game while waiting for my dad's radiation treatments to get done at the hospital. It was a welcome distraction from the reality of life. It brings back all sorts of memories to hear that opening title theme again. Thank you for posting it.

[@Akihito007]

May I ask if he made it through ok?

[@PsychoticLuke]

Was your dad ok?

[@rimaman8681]

hehe this game reminds of potato fritters and cans fizzy drink , it was in a small chinese takeaway a long with art of fighting, i had a cleaning job that was a few hours a week and would get around $35-$50 the game got borring after a awhile sometimes id just walk away and leave it playing lol

[@EdsterIII]

I took care of my Mother and Father for 13+ years. I promised never to place them in a home and I didn't, BUT it was so hard to see them deteriorate, get worse, reapirators, intense weight loss. It WAS hard to deal with. They both died in my arms. My Mom first, in 94 then my Dad in 96, on the 4th of July no less. After he died I walked outside to fireworks. It took me 15 years to go to another 4th of July celebration. As you said LIFE CAN SUCK AND IT DOES AT TIMES. I am sorry that you had to experience that. It's so hard and lonely.

[@billjenkins3660]

@@Akihito007 No, unfortunately he lived only 6 months from his diagnosis and died in August 1993. I was just barely 17 years old.

I can arguably say this is still one of the WWF games of all time! Especially because it has the road warriors in it.🙌🏻

F the world wildlife fund....not the animals, but the company for making a big deal of 3 stupid letters w w f. So childish. World wildlife fund: wahhhh some fake wrestling company is more popular than we are...let's sue them for the rights to the wwf name.

[@nickxcore74]

Absolutely agree with you.

[@rommix0]

WWE. More like WW-Yeeesh

[@SuperTed19021]

"WWF" just had *so much* more edge about it!

[@rx787]

The game was so dynamic. Fatigue was accounted for. Submissions. You could throw your opponent to the ropes and they'd grab the ropes. Holding an opponent while your teammate double teams. Fighting out of the ring. Going to the top rope. The opponent lifting their knees to hit you if you jumped on them. Wow. Half that stuff I never noticed until I started playing recently. Amazing.

[@goodlad22]

Ahead of it's time for sure

[@TFoster2211]

@A Neil Only thing I could think would be they're "boss" characters. They have twice the health then the others if I remember right. Might not be able to program them to be fair in that case.

[@rgygduysdgyuygsduysd]

and more fun than recent wrestling games on those advance consoles.

[@edwardflounoy7207]

You're not kidding. One time I had hulk Hogan do a splash from the top rope and actually nailed it for the W

[@a3ephony654]

One of the best the Arcade had to offer in the early 90's. Great memories.

[@KnifeinHand]

I remember this arcade back in '92 in a Pizza Hut,and a line of us kids lost there mind if they lost their spot to play it

[@JENDALL714]

i used to have this game on my ship when I was in the Navy. I was in charge of all the video games and vending machines. I used to have to collect the coins every morning and there was always someone playing. I would give them 5 minutes and than I would unplug the game. There was a level button on the inside of the game and I would put it to the hardest level, so they wouldn't stay on long. At night when it was quiet, the demo screen would reverberate throughout that ship. "Body Slam...Atomic Drop"......The Russians probably listening in, in a Submarine somewhere, "The Amerikan's are killing each other!"

[@Drummer8282]

This game and SF2CE blew me away when I was a kid. Great time to be alive.

[@judahsoremy9857]

Same here, but then I got hooked on Mortal Combat.

[@absoluteclownworld]

@@OikPoinFive 19.99 for a acrade machine? Joke? If so I don't get it.

[@SCORPIO047FX]

Actual voices announcing the wrestlers + calling the action as it happens, the way the camera follows the action + the way the ring moves as wrestlers pummel each other, the roar of the crowd behind you all the way, + the incredibly detailed presentation of the wrestlers & their reactions to what's happening all make this an exciting, visually dynamic, endlessly fun game & it ROCKS!

[@Xcellanty]

I was obsessed with this game when I was a kid... ahhhhh memories.

[@qalamkaar1984]

only child of 90s can truly feel and explain that nostalgia...

[@fehner27]

The best finisher when someone was tired in this game was the Million Dollar Dream by Dibiase. So fun on Royal Rumble mode.

Can recall being a kid and mowing lawns and shovelling driveways to make 20 bucks to change to quarters and get to my arcade to rock this. I am now an old man but I wanna buy this for my man cave. Also would not hurt to put the current roster into this game with this level of graphics. Cmon retro!
