    Ring of Destruction is quite rubbish, in all fairness.

    The original Slam Masters/Muscle Bomber is much better but they both suffer from complicated controls. You shouldn’t need to execute SFII-style commands in a wrestling game imo.

      What is the lineage between WCW vs NWO Revenge and the Smackdown games? They're connected, right?

        Don’t think so, Smackdown is by Yuke’s.

        Looking at their Wiki page they also made Evil Zone. Remember that? lol

          Yeah, it features a couple of extra wrestlers not present in the Snes version as well as more speech and extra animations - Blast Processing!!

            Wrestle War on the MD was always a fun distraction.

              I does take a while to get into. There's some great guides out there if you're struggling.

              I was a devotee to WWF No Mercy for years until my memory card got corrupted and all my edited wrestlers got deleted. I then decided to give Fire Pro D a go and got hooked. It seemed impossible to play to start with but once you realise it's all about timing the button presses rather than mindless mashing it all starts to make sense.

              The edit mode in the game is amazing as is the fact that it can carry off every style of wrestling you can imagine. You can have just as much fun with two Greco Roman style wrestlers as you can with lucha libre, hardcore, 90s puro or pretty much anything else.

                I quite liked it back in the day. The graphics are pretty good -- and it has some fun touches. I haven't played it for ages though.

                  Yeah, it probably hasn't aged well, were I to play it now.

                    I probably have my original boxed copy in storage, so I'll try to find it. I hardly ever sell things unless they're suddenly worth tons of dosh.



                    I have the Japanese version with Hulk Hogan on the cover.



                    The UK cover looks really bad.

                      I played it just now, and it's crap. Some amusing facial expressions though.

                        A very succinct review.

                        I remember liking the graphics -- but the gameplay felt quite basic. I think if offered a challenge though. I will boot it up on my Pi later.

                            I remember borrowing that from a friend and really liking it. But I have no memories of what it looked like, or how it played. I will take a look on YouTube.

                              I spent Sunday playing Fire Pro D on the Dreamcast, replaying Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask matches. It's a game I've always played around with but have only scratched the surface. Debating wether to keep on with Dreamcast, or pick up the ps4 version with its training modes and whatnot.

                                WWF Smackdown 2 is my overall favourite, as it's just so easy to play.
