[19822andy]

Sorry Larry you couldn't play as the Legion of Doom!

[RotaryPoweredRX]

RIP Randy Savage

[iBillcosby]

I got this game on my jailbroken ps3!

[ECWnWWF]

This is one of the All-time great Wrestling Video Games...hey, ya know what this classic has in common with the modern day WWE Legends of WrestleMania? That's right ... no Randy "Macho Man" Savage

[Wailordlover]

If you are on Facebook, I'll send you a friend request. Do you have Wario Ware D.I.Y. for the DS and the Wii? If you have, did you create retro games just like 9-volt and 18-volt? If you did create some retro minigames, send them to me. Goodbye and Good Gaming! Tim

[LarryBundyJr]

@Wailordlover I do yeah

[Wailordlover]

I found out you are on Gamer's Bytesize today. I miss you on the old Xleague TV and PULSE channels. I wish sky had never taken that channel off now. One more thing. Are you on Facebook?

[LarryBundyJr]

@Wailordlover I am yeah, send m a PM dude

[Wailordlover]

@LarryBundyJr I'd like to except you haven't added me as a friend on facebook yet! Your old Top 10 buddy and best friend Wes has though. Did you know buddy, he's engaged?

[LarryBundyJr]

@Wailordlover I'll add you when I next go on Facebook, I rarely go on there.

[stotz31]

Bud, just watched this on gamers bytesize on Showcase!!! The guru is back!!!!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@stotz31 Ah sweet! Thanks dude!!!

[puissse]

ok, i do not remember the graphics being this good

[thehegarty87]

what's the name of your tv show on sky

[canadianguy009]

I still remember pumping rolls of quarters into these machines growing up, hell I still play this game. Absolutley spot-on GuruLarry, one of the greatest ever!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@canadianguy009 It really needs an update on XBLA!!!

[canadianguy009]

@ScrewAttackEurope Campaigning for it might not be such a bad idea. I'm sick of playing the rom.

[DrHojo123]

1:09 lol he came XD

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@wakkyvideogroup They're on a few other channels on Sky now, namely Showcase TV a/1 and Information TV.

[CPCGamer]

In the preamble for your bonus Wes video you said how he dropped a HDD in the bath but you don't know how?

My friend Marc once found a functional HDD down the back of his sofa. Most people find socks or spare change, my friends find non-volatile storage.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@CPCGamer Lol, he's forever doing that though. he destroyed a brand new iPhone4 a few months ago putting it in the washing machine. (He left it in his trouser pocket)

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@TehUberCyberBeast THey normally either die or Roids or a heart attack.

I think Big Boss Man had a heart attack. As cruel as it sounds, it's normally how the fat ones depart.

[Akiba182]

Had no idea this was still on the telly surfing in the sky 200's and theres you series linked :)

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Akiba182 wow, thanks dude! yeah, just one more episode next week for the time being.

[Akiba182]

@ScrewAttackEurope real shame Xleague went under could have been really good miss the forums there always a good laugh

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Akiba182 They were, Xleague was an awesome place to work at. They just never took our advice on board that they should be a gaming channel rather than an "eSports" channel.

[Akiba182]

@ScrewAttackEurope I know its off topic now from video and might have been asked before have you ever thought of starting your our channel I know this might be a silly suggestion theres proberly so much stuff that we dont know needs to happenn but hell im 19 i just about getting my head around how the world works in my mind everything is a bit well ... simple (hurts when ur mum calls you that btw) anyway just wondered if you've ever looked into it? Do it right where xleauge failed

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Akiba182 Oh, I've been asked that many many times. thing is that i'd need major investment, well over £1,000,000 to get it started, hell Xleague pumped £1,500,000 to get theirs up and running and they were owned by The Star.

[Akiba182]

@ScrewAttackEurope I feel a fund raiser incoming

[therealAgerbon]

damn shame of their deaths

[manuel221988]

I wish WWE was WWF again. After the change in name, so did the people & their games. I think they need to go back, look at this video & rem what a good game was, even with the graphics on games today, this still makes newer games look crappy.

Good review bro.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@manuel221988 Cheers, yeah the late 80's - early 90's were the WWF/E's golden years.

[LeonSKennedy828]

@ScrewAttackEurope I disagree, I thought the Attitude era was their best.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@LeonSKennedy828 The Attitude era was when everyone only wrestled in black underwear.

[LeonSKennedy828]

@ScrewAttackEurope What difference does the colour of the trunks make? ^^;;;

All that aside though, I just thought the Attitude Era had the best matches, promos (ESPECIALLY from The Rock and Austin) rivalries etc.

[BamzookiMan130]

What song did you use for the memorial part?

[Rakiarmas]

Nice episode as always.

I really would like to try this game out. Seems like a really good wrestling game.

[rhiannonband]

I'm glad you noticed Ted DiBiase looked a lot like Noel Edmonds back then! I've been saying it for years, but people just said I was stupid!

[chibiace]

I would love to play this game in an arcade, but sadly there's not to many around where I live.

[ThePowergloveNinja]

Back when wrestling was the shit!

[LawlNoodle]

ULIMATEEEE WARRRRIIOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR IS GOING TO DESTROY YOU HULK HOGANNNANANANANANAANANNNANANAN­ANANANANAANAANANANAN

[ZippoReviews]

i was actually worried you were going to make a joke about how some of those guys died larry =p

[ozsem]

Spent way too much money on this arcade game. Played it at great yarmouth.

[cdbils001]

wow there a few dead guys on this game

[apeazy]

yea you put a quarter in for royal rumble match at the computer always attacked no one but you to get your money

[TriggerheartExcelica]

The sprites look like characters out of The Combatribes.  I had no idea Technos dabbled in licenses.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@TriggerheartExcelica I bet you that the same team worked on them.

[theg00dnamesg0ne]

any other new glrc's going on you tube

[jedahdoma]

I loved this game in the arcade. Ah old Aladdin's Castle. Rest in peace, :(

[KilaSolai]

one word.. Emulatioshion!

[TanukiKGA]

I saw Sgt Slaughter in there! My favourite wrestler-gone-actionforce-guy. Were there any others? Not that I know of! Anyway, is his finishing move, the Cobra Clutch in the game? ^^

[CUTWEST]

I remember this game. The Legion of Doom were a bitch to beat. I never did win against them.

[futurematt5]

You're almost right about this being the most fun you'll have with big sweaty men this side of Soho. Depending on the side of Soho you are on, you would have even more fun haggling with big sweaty blokes who work in CEX and will only give you £10 for a complete version of 'Everyone's a Wally' even if it is their lunchbreak and you once got a Sega Saturn there for £10. That being the North of Soho. Everywhere else, then yes, head down to Old Compton and put a sponge between your teeth...

[Otouto72]

Loved this game growing up! All I done was the Royal Rumble mode!

[gdude545]

Great vid Larry. Watched your GTYCW episode as well. Great stuff.

[gdude545]

@gdude545 That should say FTYCW sorry

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@gdude545 Thanks bud :D

[sinistermoon]

MAME RULES ALL!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@sinistermoon This was the genuine article, I own a SuperGun. :D

[sinistermoon]

@ScrewAttackEurope

Right on. You should do a video showing it off!

[flakelorenz02]

Wow I used to play this in the arcades all the time.

I remember seeing the death of acrades around 2003 the day they took out most of the good games and replaced them with slot machines. I dunno what they did with the cabinets but this game is strangely missing from when I used to play it.

I also remember seeing Tekken arcade in about 1998 and thinking, "Why would I pay to play a game here that I have at home with more characters and modes."

[dragonredx]

I NEED SCISSORS 61

*SKRONK*

[evilcrow1001]

Loved this game back in the day, finish school and straight to the arcade for some WWF action.

[Soukyugurentai]

LMAO Larry as Animal :)

[Soubihurt]

What about Flying Heystacks

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Soubihurt Giant Haystacks?

[depletable]

This was my FAVORITE game at the arcade when I was a kid. Forever.

[Soundwave04]

The Legion of Doom look like a good laugh. :D

[Firestorm686]

Umm i had this for sega genesys.....

[depletable]

@Firestorm686 Nah you didn't. lol

[Soukyugurentai]

@Firestorm686

This game never came out on Genesis. You are thinking of Acclaim's WWF Super Wrestlemania.

[RetroRepair]

LEGION OF DOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Got a huge joblot of boards arriving tomorrow, hope this is one of them!

Did you get this working on your cab yet?

[RetroRepair]

@RetroRepair You know what? Turns out I got three of these boards in my joblot!! What are the odds!!! Classic game! ^_^

[JDavies345]

hey Guru Larry....have you ever played Daytona OOsa (USA) 2?it was a arcade exclusive, if not....what about Daytona OOsa (USA) 2001?

[OldSchoolNYCGamer]

This game got me so angry... fun game but horrible when the computer beats the snot out of you.

[crinos43]

Oh wow. I remember this game from back in the day.

I wish the WWE could get these kinds of game produced again.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@crinos43 It'd be great to see an update with either modern or Hall of Legend wrestlers in it on PSN or XBLA.

[crinos43]

@ScrewAttackEurope You know, I had just thought of this as well, but there is a game that plays somewhat similar today, and that's WWE Legends of Wrestlemania for the XBox 360 and PS3.

I mean yeah the game uses modern graphics and sounds, but the controls are so easy, you'd almost think you were playing an old-school WWF arcade game.

[DBMONK1]

@ScrewAttackEurope THAT would be so freaking cool dude.... i would buy that instantly, maybe even better if say, you could have up to 20 people online in a royale rumble...... so cool lol

[NidaALT]

Skanky old urine soaked seaside arcade.

This description has to be the most accurate ive ever heard.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@NidaALT We also had "Truant infested" in there too at one point :D

[hanchiman]

Used to play this game in a place called "Funland" inside Trocadero, during my summer holiday in London early 90's. My fave of course was Snake Roberts and Hulk Hogan.

The other fave arcade cabinet was Final Fight and Vendetta playing with total strangers.

[a3HeadedMonkey]

Larry's back!! WONGA!!!!

[TheBoomerpirate]

@a3HeadedMonkey no only gamingmill can do the wonga thing

[a3HeadedMonkey]

@TheBoomerpirate I give your comment 9.5 out of 10

[stotz31]

Fantastic mate!!! These were great games!

[KBgames]

I used to play this all the time at a local theatre, there were never any arcades around here so that was really the only place to play arcade games growing up. pretty sure it's still there, most of the others are gone though.

[UltimateUKFFFan]

I just can't wait to see the comment section light up with all these wrestling fanbrats crying about how the WWE isn't how it used to be or not exactly what they want. Seriously, all I hear from wrestling "fans" these days is "waa waa Cena" this and "boo hoo PG rating" that. Give me a fucking break...

In any case, nice review Larry. Looks like it was a pretty fun game.

[survivor104]

You are and always will be awesome Larry!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@survivor104 Thanks dude, YouTube hate me though, they suspended my AdSence account last week :(

If you can watch the video on TGWTG too, that really helps me out. It's also the extended version that I couldn't post on YT as they'd flag the shit out of it for bullshit copyright.

[tierrasdeleyenda]

@ScrewAttackEurope I have a shitty conenction mang, but if youtube isn't supporting your show, I'd rather wait a while and watch the vid on tgwtg, hope everything works out for ya man, you have a lot of heart.

[gunz123451]

wwe daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaa

[iNvictaStudios]

Larry, Your one of the reasons im on the internet. Thanks for this!

[SWAGshow]

Go get 'em Larry!
