If u were a kid in the late 80s an during the 90s your parents knew where to find you once at the mall. Just have quarters an it's Arcade time. Best era ever to be a kid

[@gr3ygh05t9]

Somebody here in Texas is trying to revive the Arcades. These are actual arcades, not the 1UP cabinets. The last thing I heard about it was there was plans to open up arcades state wide, if it's successful.

[@brandonallen3289]

@@gr3ygh05t9 I wish them good luck. That would be awesome.

[@VinylSamuraisMusic]

Don't care what anyone says, this was great. Kids today are missing out man. 1996 I remember being in the arcade using my school lunch money and everyone crowded round the machine. Its the same with music, being in a shop and people crowding round hearing new music. Its a real shame with technology that whole lifestyle is gone. These were magic moments of my childhood The other was the countless hacked versions of Streetfighter 2. One where Balrog could Hadoken and Guile did two sonic booms at once that went up and down. Never gonna have that feeling again

[@HeroesofXanaduSloth]

I also missed those days, i was playing game like this one at the arcade, mortal kombat 2, 4 players tmnt, x-men, the simpsons, golden axe, terminator 2, this one had two guns in the machine to control, lucky & wild, aliens vs predators and many more like that. I wonder how many quarters i spend in those arcades back in the 80/90s. Kids today will never know that magic feeling we had back then.

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

1996? Shit.. I was the 80s arcade where we had Gauntlet, Dragon's Lair, Tapper, Operation Wolf and a host of others. To me.. That was the best time for the arcade.. Because everyone was competing and making exciting new games. The 90s to me were the beat em up era, and the end of the arcade.

[@jamesmbs1]

96? by then it was gone. I remember it when it came out in 91.

[@dukes8359]

Finally someone who remembers that street fighter

[@lupillosanchez6620]

I play this game in 98 after school on Friday's me and my cousin's would go and play at the mall good times

[@mr.speyside5240]

This game was so well designed. It had so many dynamic elements. Fatigue, stamina, holding the opponent while you go on the top rope to take advantage, fighting outside of the ring, using the steps as a weapon, taunting, tag team partner interference, throwing the opponent into the blue steel cage, breaking up the 3 count through interference and so much more. This game is one of the best wrestling games ever!

[@realdjtoddthunder1323]

Abdelmelik Farooq Alwahid I was just telling that to my brother and,couple friends...this games is awesome....

[@afox7305]

I tried this game with my dad and it was a school night. The next day , we had spare time and I was killing myself cuz I couldn't play it but my dad promised I have the entire weekend to play it 😁 . So lucky and can't wait!

[@davidmreyes77]

Not to mention they got the scale of the ring and ringside area down.

[@chemicalX1977]

Man! I remember this when it came out in 89! Video shops, chip shops and leisure centres were often packed as these arcade games kicked ass, but the most important thing that kids of today won't understand is the socialising and not being on the streets causing trouble

[@mvplod3223]

Best game ever.

[@DebonaireDouglas]

Outstanding!! Greatest wrestling arcade in my opinion!

[@HeroesofXanaduSloth]

My favorite wrestling game with royal rumble. The sound effects and graphics are just amazing.

Best tandem I think.. The last two guys were so tough to beat.. I lost so much money playing this as a kid, damn.. Thanks for posting!

WWF WrestleFest was BY FAR the greatest wrestling game EVER made! ... WrestleFest was the pinnacle of Sprite 2D Graphic technology. And the gameplay was awesome.

[@giordanodafrassini1476]

I used to play it in a Cafè near my primary school, my favourite duo were Big Boss Man and Jake The Snake Roberts!

You're right, & that's NOT Hawk & Animal's voices too and you didn't get the(this probably isn't the right spelling) OOOOOOORAHHHHHHHWHAAATAAARUSHHHH!!

[@kjuergens1985]

I like how once you won, Hawk let go of the headlock so he could put his hand on his face in despair, and Earthquake sold the headlock for a moment before celebrating the victory.

[@MoeJaxon]

The graphics and move set on this was one top notch compared to the other games during this time

[@bigdaddygrim250]

Warrior is probably the best character in this game. He has the clothesline to start out with which then switches to a Flying clothesline when the opponent gets hurt. Both have better hitboxes than most of the other characters running attacks. He also has a running splash finish which is very good for closing matches in this. (Second best is Jake who has an elbow attack for his running move that changes into a jumping knee attack - both of which also have long hitboxes which make it easier to hit people climbing in and out of the ropes or with meaty attacks on people who were knocked down.) I always loved this game. :)

[@dkthegreatmikethepoledrive9026]

Only in fantasy could the Ultimate Warrior's in ring work be this good.

[@jaym5118]

I'm amazed at the fact that this (a real arcade game) looks like a Super NES game. I mean, the Super NES was capable of these graphics (or pretty darn near). I was amazed by this arcade when I saw it back in the day. But now I wonder why.

[@ravagingwolverine]

Back when this game was new, 16-bit home games were still pretty basic, limited by small carts. It would be a few years before we'd see the Genesis and SNES do their best. That's why this arcade game looked so amazing when it was new. I have had the same experience as you where games that once looked amazing didn't seem so impressive later, but those games were still a couple of years ahead of anything comparable at home.

[@Anomaly628]

@@ravagingwolverine The SNES could absolutely not do this game.. The Sprites would have been smaller, you would be missing lots of animation, and you would not have as many characters on screen at the same time and the shear graphic detail would have been way off.. Show me one wreslting game on SNES that looked anything like this...

[@ravagingwolverine]

@@Anomaly628 I agree with you. Any attempt at a port would have required significant cuts. I was just pointing out why the game looked so impressive at the time. As I recall, it came out in early 1991, so the Super Famicom had only been available in Japan for a short time, and it was over six months away from a North American release. The Genesis was still in its early days in the west as well. So Wrestlefest was legitimately impressive when it was new because people were still accustomed to 8-bit and early 16-bit games at home. And early SNES games were limited in many ways including storage. The home consoles were several years away from their best-looking games. Even if Donkey Kong Country is a much simpler game, I can understand why that would change people's perception of an older game like this and make it seem less impressive, especially if they're taking a superficial look. As you point out, the sprite size and level of animation would be impossible. I remember being blown away by this game when it was new.

[@mdr7283]

I miss this game...kinda cool to have lod as the boss, they were feared back in the day.

[@OdaVenom]

Scary to even imagine how many hours you have spend to be on that level. I remember playing it, it's a merciless coin-grabber.

uniroyalbarrie How do you do the warrior splash?

[@uniroyalbarrie]

When your Ultimate Warrior and have damaged your enemy enough they lay slant and instead of pressing kick for the pin press punch and Ultimate Warrior will do his trademark running dive onto somebody. Other wrestlers like Big Boss Man can do it too.

[@HeroesofXanaduSloth]

this game was a step behind its predecessor WWF Superstars IMHO. I never appreciated the animations, not as fluid as WWFSTARS, punches and kicks didn't feel like hitting hard.. the roster is deeper but missing of macho man... for me was a disappointing step back at the time and still I prefer playing with the previous game.

[@HeroesofXanaduSloth]

Did i claim that i was a expert at this game? NO > Yes, i have much to learn about this beautiful game but i don't care what you say, i did good for a first time gaming experience with this run. I used to play back in the day but that was years ago. I could kick your ass, playing many other games on the nes, if you want to challenge me and go down that road. If you want to challenge me, at least challenge at a game that i really know like zelda 2. I have a lot more gaming knowledge or gaming skills than you do with this game for example. My point here is: you can't be a expert at all the games that exist out there, there way too many and there always somebody who know more. Thanks for watching!
