Description official description

Arcade-style game about wrestling, featuring 8 different characters, like K.C. Colossus or Prince Vicious, and 25 different moves, like leg drops, spin kicks, body slams, rope bouncing, flying drop kicks and the so-called "infamous" atomic drop.

Colorful wrestling game, quite fun at the time!

The Good
Graphics were nice at the time. Not spectacular, but it put the ST's capabilities to good use. It featured more complex moves than other fighting games of it's time, and the isometric view had it's advantages over side-scrolling fighters. Good controls also.

The Bad
The thing that upset me the most was having too few wrestlers and too few moves, but maybe it was asking too much at the time.

The Bottom Line
A fun and colorful arcade-like wrestling game.
