Tag Team Wrestling (NES-1986)

I love wrestling games. Always have. When I was a kid, I used to have dreams about the Mat Mania game at my local 7-11. Perhaps it was just my teenaged sexual confusion, but there was just something magical about having crudely rendered “people” beat the crap out of each other.



I guess there's something magical about TAG TEAM WRESTLING too: It's magically RETARDED! You start out as the "RICKY FIGHTERS" (!), a misfit pair of wrestlers who may be brothers, or lovers, or both. Your first obstacles on the path to glory are the "STRONG BADS"(!!), another pair of globby things that might be people. They are also your second, third, fourth, and fifth obstacles (My soul began to ache at that point).



As you can see, Strong Bad is clearly breaking the rules by kicking me repeatedly in the shin. That’s against the rules, right?



Damn you, Strong Bads! You may have won this battle, but next time it will be your shins that will have the little starry thingy floating over them! A winner is Ricky Fighters!!
