Title: Champion Wrestler
Post by: nat on 02/26/2008, 11:22 PM
Does anyone know how to play this game? How do I execute special moves and such?

This is a port of the Taito arcade. I can't find any information online with regards to how to play.

To quote WOPR: "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

So no one actually knows how to play?

And who the fuck is WOPR? Do I pronounce his name "Whopper?"

Are you kidding?  It stands for War Operation Plan Response, the computer in WarGames; you're correct on the pronunciation.

No, I'm not. I've never heard of WarGames. I just Wiki-ed it. Is that movie something I should be aware of for some reason?

It's an 80's classic.

Sorry, I thought you might've been poking fun at this corny classic.  I'm surprised someone of your vintage could've missed that one, not that there's any reason to track it down now.

I find it a bit odd as well, if it's as classic as you guys say. Although I'm almost tempted to track down a copy anyway so I can experience some oldschool Matthew Broderick cheese.

The movie is a cult classic it should be in any ones 80's movie collection.

Btw amazon sells it for $9.99  :wink:

Oh and here's the trailer if it's not enough to convince you.

Did you ever see ProjectX, another '80s cheese-fest w/ Matthew Broderick?  WarGames is better, yards better.

I've actually been wondering a bit about this Champion Wrestling- but that write-up that WFY pulled up doesn't make it sound like much of a contender.  "Stick-waggling" brings one thing to mind- and it sure isn't playing video games.

Nat, WarGames is a friggin' classic. No joke. Fun, fun film. Give it a chance.

Project X rocks as well! They're both great :).

Haha, I had to stop to think about Project X because it didn't sound familar. Then seconds later I was like "Wait wasn't that the movie with training monkeys for space?", hahaha. That was great.

No, it was about irradiating monkeys.  The military should've used hobos, since they're not as cute as monkeys and nobody would've cared.
