The controls were basic but they worked for the time. I normally picked the Survivor Series as it was better to see everyone in the match together in my eyes. It would have been nice for the SEGA version to have an actual established Tag Team to use like the SNES version did as I have no clue why IRS or Papa Shango were even included. There were three match types to choose from 1 vs. Vibrant colours and good animation, but body mold's look very similar. In real life they did have this sort of theme sounding like a very large boulder rolling down a mountainside but nothing like this. The other main audio shambles it the Natural Disasters theme on the SNES which was one lone monotonous rumble noise. None of the tracks do the real life counterparts justice, they all sound horrific, especially IRS's theme, which is a continuous sound of what I can only describe as a cash counting machine, but done very, very badly. Later I did get the SNES version which had Hogan, Savage and DiBiase but omitted the rest, replacing them with Jake Roberts, The Undertaker, Sid Justice, Hawk, Animal, Earthquake and Typhoon.Īt the main character selection screen, you get a chance to listen to the wrestlers theme music, a feature it really could have done without. Schyster, Shawn Michaels, 'The Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase and The British Bulldog. I don't want to make this review purely a comparison piece but it is going to be tricky not to, both games around the same era with the same wrestlers, the only differences are the graphics and gameplay which WrestleFest far exceeds.Īnyway, The SEGA version, which I owned, gave you the option of 8 Superstars to choose from Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage, Papa Shango, Irwin R. Naturally things were brought down to a smaller scale being on the console instead of the arcade but none-the-less, it was my first opportunity to control some of my heroes from the comfort of my own home.Īt that age, I was never going to compare it to the arcade classic but now I am able to, it really doesn't stand up. Unfortunately, WrestleFest wasn't available on home console but by that time, WWF Super WrestleMania was available. I distinctly remember playing the fantastic WWF WrestleFest (1991) in the arcade while away on holiday, a home version was a must. As a fan from a very early age, this game was always going to be in my catalogue. One of the first games I have vivid recollections of playing was WWF Super WrestleMania on the SEGA Mega Drive. You couldn't move without seeing some item of merchandise with either Hulk Hogan, The Legion of Doom or the British Bulldog plastered on it, it was literally everywhere. In the early 90's there were two franchises at their very peak in the UK SEGA and the WWF.
