MicroLeague Wrestling

About

MicroLeague Wrestling is a turn-based brawler where you pit 1980s wrestling icons against each other using timed button presses and strategy. Play as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, or other WWF stars in matches that emphasize move selection, energy management, and match type variety. Each bout plays out in discrete turns with simple controls, letting you focus on executing signature moves and countering opponents. The game leans into the larger-than-life personas of the wrestlers but keeps the action straightforward and competitive. As the first officially licensed WWF game ever released, it holds a niche place in wrestling gaming history. Coming out in late 1987, it capitalized on the raw popularity of the era’s wrestling boom. Retro fans appreciate its no-frills approach and inclusion of early-'90s superstars in pixelated form. Available on DOS and classic 8/16-bit systems, it’s a relic for those chasing the earliest days of sports-licensing in games.
