Wrestlefest - Hulk Hogan Highlight Reel

This is a video I put together of Hulk Hogan showing off virtually all of his moves in the classic arcade game WWF Wrestlefest. Also watch for other highlight reels featuring other characters from Wrestlefest:

whaleman--how do you win so many grapples? are you just editing lost grapples out of the vid or do you just have to stand in a certain spot? It seems like you always stand just a bit above them and wait for them to get up. does that work?

in any case, great work! I still play this on MAME--best arcade wrestler ever!

How do you play this game on mame? I downloaded mame and the roms but still don't know how to play the game. It''s tuff, I'm not computer literate. Can you help me please?

Put your the Wrestlefest rom files into a folder called 'wwfwfest' within your mame/roms folder.  Then double click your mame.exe file and you should be able to open the game. There's really not that much to it but you will have to configure your gamepad or keyboard yourself inside the program. If you have any other problems research mame online - there is a lot of information out there. Good luck!

These 'highlight reels' I made are definitely edited. I just played the game through a couple times and then cut out clips of the wrestlers doing their moves. In this game it is impossible to avoid getting beat in some grapples, but I find that there are certain tips. For instance I noticed that if an opponent is down and get up while you are back peddling you almost always seem to lose that grapple. My videos that are not 'highlight reels' are unedited & you will see some of my strategies.

Best Wrestling game ever, shame they didnt make this into a consol game!

This game reminds me of my youth wasting money in the arcades in and around Blackpool!!

Top Game, Top Graphics!

Bring Back WWF WrestleFest TO XBOX360

It's amazing that the commentary in this game is better and more accurate than the commentary in today's wwe games..lol

At the time this game would have only been able to have been played on the Neo Geo home console, which at the cost of those cartridges, you might as well have just owned the arcade cabinet.

I wish they had this dowloadable for Ps3 and X box that would be awesome.

This is more moves then Hulkster knew in real life !

[wherethepowerlies]

I wish they would put this on xbox live arcade.That would be awesome.

i love these highlight reels. thx for posting. this is my favorite wrestling game of all time. and to the guy asking if this is a SNES game - NO, it isn't. the SNES would not be able to handle such large sprites and animation without slowdown. this game was NEVER released for any home console. it is only available on the arcade or on MAME rom/emulator.

@WisdomRiver It was actually an arcade game back in the day. I don't know how familiar you are with the concept ROMs and emulators but you can find ROMs of arcade games like this just like you can find ROMs for pretty much any other video game system. That's what this guy did. This was one of my favorite arcade games back in the day. Pumped many a quarter into the coin slot of this game.

[WisdomRiver]

what system is this for? looks like SNES

[mindmusclesoul]

This game had a really fun game engine. The random element of the moves and limited movesets didn't ruin the overall enjoyment of the game and it'd be great to have a new version released with an updated roster.

This video is so long... Why?
