Jim Leonard | MicroLeague Wrestling (DOS), running demo @JimLeonard | Uploaded May 2015 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Recently unearthed DOS port of MicroLeague Wrestling, the first WWF-licensed game. More information here: mobygames.com/game/microleague-wrestling
Gameplay is very close to an FMV game but without actual FMV. Each player picks moves for each clash, then the results are played out with "video" (a few animated still frames).
The DOS port comes with two "match disks", Hogan vs. Savage, and Hogan vs. Dibiase. Disks are forcefully loaded from the A: drive which makes putting this game on a hard drive impossible.
The release of this game was delayed two years; the title screen states 1989, but the data files have dates from 1990 and the executable file has a date of 1991.
