Tag Team Wrestling

About

This 80s arcade wrestling game pits your tag team against opponents in a series of high-octane matches. Teamwork is key as you and a partner execute moves like body slams, drop kicks, and flying head butts to secure a three-count pin. The action is fast and frantic, with a focus on raw power and timing. You can battle solo or with a friend, and the goal is clear: dominate the competition to take home the championship belt. Simple mechanics and straightforward objectives make it easy to jump into the ring and start throwing elbows. Released in 1983, it was among the first to bring wrestling to multiple platforms including the Family Computer and C64. The move set feels surprisingly varied for its time, with over 15 different attacks to choose from. Archive reviews highlight its straightforward fun, with a 74% average on Metacritic. While the graphics are basic by modern standards, the competitive two-player mode has kept it a retro favorite. It holds a cult following for its chaotic energy and how it predates mainstream wrestling games by over a decade.
