WWF WrestleMania Challenge is a fighting game released by LJN in 1990. This is a sequel to the LJN WWF WrestleMania series. The player’s task is to control his wrestler to participate in the 1vs1 fight on the ring.
The game consists of two modes of one player and two players. With one player mode, players will be able to participate in an available tournament. When starting the game, they will be selected one of the nine available wrestlers. A number of wrestlers have become familiar to players in previous games in the WWF WrestleMania series such as Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant and Macho King Randy Savage. In addition, the game also provides additional wrestlers to choose from: The Ultimate Warrior, The Big Boss Man, Brutus, The Barber Muff Beefdding, Rick Rude, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. After selecting the wrestler, the player will be taken to a special stage. The stage is in the middle of the screen, the four corners of the screen will have fans watching the match. Each wrestler will have a physical bar displayed at the bottom of the ring. The game uses a view from above that allows wrestlers to observe the opponent’s physical strength. The control system of the game is very simple with a wrestling button and a button showing the wrestling or kicking skills of a wrestler. When players combine the two buttons will create a special skill. However, this skill is only used when the wrestler’s physical strength is high. When the wrestler’s physique returns to zero, that wrestler will lose. The winner will show dance in front of the opponent to show strength to the opponent and the viewer.
Players will participate in a tournament with talented wrestlers. The winner of each match will gain the right to go forward. The difficulty level of the game is enhanced when the player enters the next rounds. Flexible moves, skilful combination are essential for wrestlers to win matches. The champion of the tournament will be the wrestler winning all wrestlers in the game.
In addition to participating in the tournament available in the game, the two-player mode will help them show their skills with their companions. Two players will choose different wrestlers to join the game. There are no tasks assigned to the player. Together they will participate in a competition on the ring to find the winner.
