MicroLeague Wrestling 2
Also know as: MicroLeague WWF Superstars
MicroLeague Wrestling is a wrestling game, the very first one licensed by the World Wrestling Federation. The game can be played by one or two players and comes with two possible match-ups, each with a separate match disk. There is Hulk Hogan versus "Macho Man" Randy Savage (all platforms) A bout can last 10, 20 or 60 minutes. Game presentation before, during, and after fights is modeled after WWF TV shows and features digitized stills of actual WWF personalities, including wrestlers, managers, interviewers, commentators and announcers. Digitized images illustrate on-camera interviews, the wrestlers' entrances (complete with renditions of their themes), ringside commentary, and the reactions of the crowd. During a fight, the game follows an unusual approach: Instead of controlling a wrestler directly, players select a move to perform from a menu. The computer decides if it was a success or not and the result is shown via a digitized picture. In 1988, two expansion discs were released, known as the "WWF Superstar Series". The first of these features Randy Savage vs. The Honky Tonk Man and Jim Duggan vs. Harley Race. The second disk features Hulk Hogan vs. Ted DiBiase and Jake Roberts vs. Rick Rude. The Amiga and DOS versions, released in 1989, feature Hogan vs. Savage (from a later match between them) and Hogan vs. DiBiase. There were no expansions released for this version as the WWF ceased production of the game to focus on console games.
