Arcade Longplay [244] WWF Wrestlefest

www.longplays.org
Played by: JagOfTroy
Very nostalgic arcade game that robbed me of many quarters.
Another great four-player game that featured the classic wrestlers from WWF.
If you see my energy levels mysteriously returning to full, it's because using another credit replenishes it which you pretty much have to do in order to beat the game since you don't get enough back after each match.
Royal Rumble is saved for the end of the video. -

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

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.

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!"

I still can't bring myself to call it "WWE". Its always gonna be WWF to me.

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

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

[@absoluteclownworld]

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

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

[@valdbagina79]

As a child/teenager this game was amazing to me

[@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!

[@fehner27]

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

[@BigDaddy-uv5mo]

back in the day i remember when my folks used to take me to this pizza place and instead of eating i would run straight to this arcade, when nobody was playing it that is,

[@judahsoremy9857]

The best wrestling arcade/video game ever

[@alonzotanner1226]

This was probably the greatest wrestling arcade game ever. Loved it when I'd go to a food and fuel and there'd be one of these machines there. I'd get so pissed if I made it kinda far and my dad would say "okay let's go" though. Memories...
