Title Match Pro Wrestling

"...the screams of the crowd shake the arena as the title belt coontenders circle one another. Mad Dog makes the first move smashing his fists into Skin Head's chest who gasps for air, then retaliates with a skin-crawling kick.

"Mad Dog growls and grabbing from behind drags Skin Head across the ring whipping him around in an airplane spin. Letting go, he flies into the ropes and bounces back to meet Mad Dog's concrete forearm across his neck - a painfully executed clothes line..."

This is a scene-setter for a superb wrestling game - Title Match Pro Wrestling - in which you have the choice of four wrestlers to fight with: Mad Dog, Skin Head, Mr. Mean and Big Chief. All are merciless and give half a chance will crush you to a pulp.

You can use a number of different moves to defeat each opponent - bear hug, body slam, power lift and back drop being just a few. To bring any of them into effect, you use a combination of joystick movements and fire button.

Each fighter has a specific strength, displayed at the top of the screen in bar form and what you have to do is sustain your strength while depleting your opponent's. Then you have to hit him with a finishing blow.

It's a little tricky to get used to the joystick/fire button combinations, but when you do, the game becomes really enjoyable. Not one for the younger children, but great fun if you are into sport simulations.
