I'm impressed, that was a spot-on impression of the late, great "American Dream" AKA "The son of a plumber" Dusty Rhodes! You can really tell that you're real fan of old-school wrestling! Too bad, he wasn't in the game because I'd loved to drop some "Bionic Elbows" on everyone! Truly a one-of-a-kind guy and it's sad to think he left us, but man oh man did he give some unforgettable moments and leave such an amazing legacy behind! At least, we still got Dusty's two sons Dustin and Cody who are destined to continue to add that legacy and we still got the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, I don't know how he does it but I'm 100% convinced that man will live to be a 100 or more LOL!

I went to a meet and greet with flair last year and he was the nicest most humble guy and nothing at all like you would see on TV.

I played Wrestlefest to death in the arcades and owned a Superstars cabinet for a while. Wrestlefest was the first game I ever emulated I remember setting it up on a friends PC using a bunch of floppy disks. Those chunky sprites were great and the Royal Rumble was impressive at the time.. Anyone remember the arcade game The Main Event? I could never figure out how to play that game, I think it was supposed to use those stupid squishy air filled buttons that some Streetfighter 1 cabs used..
@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries5 жыл бұрын
The main event was a tough cookie to crack. I was never very good at that game either although I love the graphics. A friend of mine was the one who dumped the original ROMs for wrestlefest Back in 1997 or 1998 so it could be emulated. I was actually a beta tester when the original driver was written. The first beta I received the character sprites were all garbled but everything else is fine. So I played it for about 30 minutes that way and it was awesome. LOL

WrestleFest always seems to go under the radar of the critics... it's not even mentioned in the 1000 games to play before you die book! But it thoroughly deserves it. It's challenging but not too hard. It's fun, great graphics for its time and the playability is pretty well polished. The game does feel limited with the use of only 2 buttons, but its so fun who cares?

I can remember that, on the arcade that I played Wrestlefest in Britain, it was mostly in English but there was one part (perhaps when you were running out of time) that came out in Japanese. I wonder if the game was originally done in Japanese, and then translated into English, but they forgot about doing one part.
