WWF Wrestlefest Arcade Intro

[@JENDALL714]

I used to literally hear this game in my sleep, when I was in the Navy, we had this game on the ship and it was right outside my berthing area, so I could always hear the demo playing. I was also in charge of the games on the ship, so of course I always gave myself free credits!

[@MrRolyat98]

Always fascinated me how those carriers were basically floating cities. Thanks for your service.

[@massdagod]

Was you an SH? SK?

[@homedeezyfasheezy5662]

My eyes are literally tearing up watching this. I can remember going to the co-op arcades as a kid and playing this game for hours. Loved this game

[@darrenlewis7872]

I felt it too all hall of famers on this game

[@roydavidmerrell]

Back in the day when we were so poor we had foodstamps but back then they gave out paper food stamps and I would steal the dollar ones from my mom and go buy a 25 cent pack of gum and get 3 quarters back and pump them into this, double dragon, and street fighter.

[@carmelkirk4078]

My all time favorite arcade game! It's the only wrestling game that I can remember that has Demolition..

[@justworkingfortheweekend8504]

I think this is the only video game that has smash in it

[@champtouch3298]

I live next to a college back in the days and they had a small arcade with this game in it and me and my cousin always went over there to play as kids

[@Mattnova_116]

7 Eleven, back in the early 1990's, my late aunt Marliyn Sherman; after taking me to the Cunningham Pool complex in my hometown of Vallejo, Ca I would play this game (My favorite arcade at the time) constantly it seemed like, ahhh yah heartwarming good memories.

[@SuperTed19021]

I remember this at the Odeon Brighton along with The Simpsons arcade game. Street Fighter was at the swimming pool restaurant.

[@WALUWEEGIE]

16 years ago my dad bought this from someone for $150 and needless to say this game is still bad ass. I wasnt born yet when the game came out but 29 years later here we are. It cant be replacated

[@richiebee1984]

So cool

[@Reinpret]

ahh the memories.. This game had a hold on me, back in the days where every mall and 7-11 had an arcade. This game used to get me everytime I spent many quarters on this puppy.

[@niceguy60]

Short list of wrestlers & associates from your youth that have passed. Randy Savage, British Bull Dog, Big Boss Man, Kona Crush, Mr Perfect, Rick Rude, Bam Bam, The original Doink, Elizabeth, Sherri, Bad News Brown, Eathquake, Paul Bearer, Giant Gonzalez, Luna Vachon, Owen heart, Hawk, The Sheik, Yokozuna, Gorilla Monsoon, Brian Pillman.

[@karlsylvain]

that demo music get's me so PUMPED!!

[@MrRolyat98]

I hear you! That intro music is epic!

[@pressures.coming]

The announcer was fucking rad in this game. I love the way he calls the match. Best announcer of all wrestling video games. Period. Gorilla Press. Ultimate Spear. Ultimate Splash. 1-2-3 R.I.P.

[@Dynaman21]

Back in the day when you could say the word "wrestling" in Vince's program.

[@XLostSoul76X]

WWF Wrestlefest is the best wrestling game ever made in my opinion. To me it just captures the essence of the WWF.

[@karlsylvain]

what a great INTRO!!!

[@HEXONE4LIFE]

This game is more fun then the current games out. Considering it's age, clearly graphics dont mean anything. The fun factor is what counts.

[@GrassValleyGreg]

Dang, RIP to half the roster

[@JJB11]

RIP to: The Ultimate Warrior Big Boss Man Mr. Perfect Earthquake Demolition Crush Road Warrior Animal Road Warrior Hawk Mean Gene Okerlund

[@KoTM25681]

7 out of the 12 man roster has now passed away. RIP to all these legends.

[@JJB11]

@@KoTM25681 don't forget Demolition Crush that I forgot. Sorry about that.

[@richiebee1984]

SHOUTOUT TO YOU FOR POSTING THE UPDATED LIST OF WWF/WWE LEGENDS WE HAVE LOST!!

[@shinquickman]

Just for clarity: Animal: Listen up! We snack on danger, dine on death! Hawk: You'll fail like every gerbil face stinks we've faced! Hyaaa!

[@BX420]

all time the best wwf arcade game and probably one of the better simpler wwf games in their history ..... takes me back id always spend money on that game

[@BTBugger]

A true classic this one. The gameplay was quick and moves were more fluid than that of other similar games like it.The only dissapointment was in tag tournament mode you couldn't choose Animal and Hawk "Legion of Doom" as a tag team, even after beating them twice. However I too agree best wrestling game all time.

[@煙和蠍子煙和蠍子]

THE BEST ARCADE EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@youngPC]

I remember I used to LOVE going to Vegas with the family just because I was able to spend the entire day at the arcade and play games like this. Ahhhh to be a kid in the 90's again.

[@LeightonW87]

In my opinion this is the best wrestling game ever. A lot more fun than the ones out now.

[@colanderhead1971]

LOVED this game! I fondly (well, now) remember being eliminated in the Royal Rumble mode in a matter of seconds, left to wonder WTF just happened...? Thanks for sharing!

[@chemicalX1977]

wow this game takes me back, late 1989 and early 1990 going to the video shops and chip shops to play this!

[@HoshizakiYoshimasa]

I just saw Animal not to long ago near his home in Lake Minnetonka here in Minnesota. His kid is playing for the St.Louis Rams

[@mr.speyside5240]

So sad to see so many of that roster has unfortunately passed away.

[@HllywHulk91]

Can't wait for this to come out tomorrow. Good memories of WWF/E... Unlike today.

[@tyreezy87]

Not sure if this released after the Hart Foundation split and Bret started his singles career, but I would've loved had him and Anvil been included in WrestleFest along with probably Macho Man Randy Savage and British Bulldog. A 16-man roster on this would've made this game 10x more epic.

[@saldanaj23]

All time favorite growing up, would play this ardcade while my mother did groceries,

[@thegreatjenova]

I downloaded some of these guys which weren't on WWE 2K14, and had a battle royal with them, on a downloaded WrestleFest arena. Pretty Nostalgic. R.I.P. Mr. Perfect, Big Boss Man, Earthquake, Road Warrior Hawk, and Crush. Bossman, Warrior, Earthquake, Demolitian, and Jake Roberts need to be in the Hall of Fame.

[@matthewford8977]

warroir and jake went in this year

[@animalz0207]

I miss fun games like this but I am impressed by WWE games graphics now.

[@joelburgos69]

Good old days...

[@streets0ul943]

I remember going to the arcade and running straight to this game. I have it as an emulator but for some reason it doesn't feel the same to me playing on a desktop. It's still my favorite wrestling game of all time mainly because my team Demolition is in it.

[@soughnymaugh]

RIP mean gene 😢

[@kingrico055]

Out of all the guys on this game, 5 have passed away, 4 are in the WWE Hall of Fame, and 3 of them haven't been seen in wrestling in years!

[@jusfukoff]

I used to spend a lot of lunch money at the local video store in high school to play this game with friends during off campus lunch break. We'd all put in and just play and talk shit to one another. Great times back then.

[@Cavvy81]

Not holding my breath or anything but it would be a dream come true to see this game on Xbox live's Game Room.

[@AllieRX]

The best 2D WWF game hands down!

[@yeoedwin1619]

Half of the rosters in this game are already gone. Ultimate Warrior, Mr Perfect, Hawk, Animal, Big Boss Man, Earthquake, As well as Mean Gean. RIP.

[@LeightonW87]

I'm pretty sure they did, it's by LJN. I've played it on the mega drive. It's called WWF Super WrestleMania

[@joshtothemaxx]

WWF Wrestlefest was the best arcare game EVER.

[@orionassante3386]

Sequel to the game just came out on steam and is coming to all platforms soon. Retromania Wrestling.

[@kanyonkutta]

Only half the roster is still alive. This was my childhood at Chinatown Fair

[@LandMind111]

Fed this machine a high-silver coin diet as a Kid!!!!!

[@figment1988]

kinda makes you look back when hulkamania was running wild in '91.

[@figment1988]

@echo036 no. Thing was that console-wise, Acclaim had the WWF franchise (this even includes the Laughing Joking Numbnuts and their Rainbow of Death)

[@cobrahklutch9779]

They used to have this inside the movie theatre at my local mall I was addicted to this shit best wrestling game ever

[@cobrahklutch9779]

Hogan & The Road Warriors back then those 3 and of course Ultimate warrior were the only reason I watched Wrestling. I’m a huge Hall & Nash fan but to this day imo Road Warriors are the greatest tag team of all time. Getting to play as them in this game was insane to me lol

[@neat3468]

I always wished they didn't have demolition and instead put in Bret Hart and Randy Savage. That would have made this probably the best selection of wrestlers in a wrestling game ever.

[@ThunderFist1978]

+Neil A If you look at the stickers on the cabinet, you'll find a Bushwackers sticker. Can you imagine what they would have been like in the game?

[@Mattnova_116]

Neil A yeah why the hell didn't they have "Macho Man? He was more "over" than any of those other superstars with the two exceptions of "Hulk Hogan" & ' "Warrior" after all.

[@vincently1995]

30th Anniversary of WWE WrestleFest (1991-2021)

[@AllieRX]

@tekken278 THQ is remaking this game but for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch only. Hopefully, they'll announce an Xbox Live and PSN release soon.

[@theeholygoalie]

I loved this game so much. I used to get nasty blisters on the tips of my fingers from bashing the buttons so fast. Worth it though.

[@Daveyboy10053]

best gaming music!!! This and Ninja Turtles water level!

[@Thinker302]

If that's indeed true, then that warrants a purchase from me, and I don't even play the SvR games anymore. Thanks for the info!

[@tunkunrunk]

I agree , although the game is 2D TECHNOS reproduced pretty perfectly wrestling stadium mood , wrestlers gestures and techniques . I get bored when I play todays 3D wrestling games , wrestlers looks realistic , but thats all .

[@jazza2009uk]

out of this lot only hogan, slaughter, smash, dibiase and roberts are alive now :/ this got me into the WWF back in the 90's great game of it's time

[@ThunderFist1978]

jazza2009uk You forgot Animal.

[@StephenAlexWalker]

@razvyboss69 It released on PC in the summer so it's probably going to get an XBLA release as well.

[@AllieRX]

Wow. The "Winners Don't Use Drugs" PSA in a wrestling game? Irony at its finest, especially in the early 90's.

[@cdowg187]

CLASSIC!!!!! I loved this game.

[@ThunderFist1978]

A+ for humor, good sir!

[@streets0ul943]

@SLjimbolian at the time this came out he was retired by the warrior at wrestlemania 7, I still wished they put him in.

[@StephenAlexWalker]

@razvyboss69 Yeah I thought that when I saw it, perhaps they're adding extras to it or something either that or Steam is just really late with the release.

[@dieselpro3661]

Trying to get my hands on 2013 wwe wrestlefest? Please let me know something.

[@drevsdre9]

I missed more class playing this game back in high school than any other..including MK

[@tigerhart]

Damn I can't even begin to tell you how many hours were logged and money spent at the arcade due to this game. True classic.

[@maredes]

my childhood right here

[@simondawe8774]

I've beat this game. My tag team I came up with was the Big Boss Man and Jake the Snake Roberts. Ending of each match would be the Boss Man Slam and then have Jake finish them off with the ddt

[@hevykevy316]

Love it when they hit the mat. It sounds like a shotgun!!

[@kagemaru259]

Always had to use Hogan and Warrior or Roberts and Perfect. Once LOD hit the Doomsday Device on you, it was game over.

[@hevykevy316]

@DVAcme I could NEVER understand what the fuck they were saying, Thanks for clearing that up!! I always thought it was down to the noise of all the other arcade games!!

[@blind51de]

Oh, to be six again.

[@matthewford8977]

man i hope 2k sports can make they're 1st wwe game as fun as this one was

[@ralph8677]

IDK which finisher is more fearsome: Smash's Suplex or Sgt. Slaughter's Super-Noogie?

[@milincoln]

I spent hrs playing this as a kid.

[@BamaDan197319]

The quarters I spent playing this at the store while my mom bought groceries could have bought me a car today.

[@taimak123]

Animal: Hahaha! We Snack On Danger! Dine On Death! We'll Bury Every Gerbil Faced Geek We Face! Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh!

[@milincoln]

I wish they would re-release this game on modern gaming systems maybe even add wrestlers.

[@Drummer8282]

this game and street fighter 2 had the longest lines when i was a kid.

[@stllwtchngvds]

They need to revise this with some extra guys like Rick Rude, Randy Savage, Hart Foundation, etc from that time. Then just add some more matches and enhance gameplay. I would get it for sure

[@kiki23384]

BEST WRESTLING GAME

[@masrock]

The best arcade game of all-time. Only rivaled by The Simpsons arcade game.

[@MartinRoebuck925]

Sgt. Slaughter's Cobra Clutch in this game should've been the same as Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Dream, then it would've been the one that we knew of.

[@Grezradio]

The best game EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrBito862]

Classic..Mr.Perfect all day

[@legendumair3680]

Legion of doom is my favorite wrestlers.

[@BillBrutal]

@Makron5 Animal says "We snack on danger, dine on death" No idea what Hawk says!

[@Dynaman21]

Not sure about Wrestlefest without Demolition, LOD and the Hulkster.

[@johncandie]

I remember the "CHEAT" where you got to the title match and joined in two player and you could play ad the LOD! classic game and got told off so many times as a kid for hanging round the chippy to play it!

[@legendumair3680]

My favorite game all time?

[@OnTheRun167]

Mr Perfect, Big Boss Man & Earthquake RIP

[@RhinoXpress]

they should come out with this game will all the current WWE Roster.

[@AlbanianMan]

5 out of the 12 guys in this game are now deceased. :-(

[@res340]

this game was sick

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

R.I.P CURT HENNING AKA MR PERFECT R.I.P MICHAEL JAMES HEGSTRAND AKA HAWK R.I.P RAY TRAYLOR AKA BIG BOSS MAN R.I.PJOHN TENTA AKA EARTHQUAKE R.I.P BRIAN ADAMS AKA CRUSH !!!!!!!

[@ScottyShowman]

Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior in the early 90's.... wow.... when these two got together either as a team or across the ring from each other there was always this crazy electricity. Not the best two technical wrestlers. But damn could these guys pack a stadium.

[@LongBeach2SanDiego]

Mr Perfect, Body Mace! Mr Perfect, PURR-FECT PLEGHKSSS

[@1212LeoSnake]

I could've owned the arcade with all the quarters and tokens I put into that game. Man, that's the business right there!!! Nowdays these video game companies wanna make isht difficult!!! Wanna make sure the virtual half-naked chick look realistic enough, instead of focusing on more funfactor. No wonder the games NOW are more easier to beat than yesteryear's games. Very refreshing to see that game again. Now why the hell they didn't put it on SNES or Genesis??

[@JMaxwell85]

Those mode descriptions are hilariously Engrish. "Choose 1 wrestler and beat wrestlers one after another come to fight with. Get them out of the ring of get fall and be a champion."

[@res340]

67th St and 11 ave Luncheonette Brooklyn NY. Yeeaaaaaah.
