Story:WWF WrestleMania (also known on console versions as WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game) is a professional wrestling arcade game released by Midway Manufacturing Co. in 1995. It is based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) professional wrestling promotion.
The game featured digitized representations of eight WWF performers who are pitted against each other in fast-paced matches inspired by Midway's Mortal Kombat games. Commentary is provided by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler, who also appear in the game sitting at the announcers' table to the right of the ring.
Acclaim, who published the console versions of the game, developed a follow-up, WWF in Your House for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and DOS.Show more

WWF WrestleMania the Arcade Game is very special to me. Growing up in the 1990's, I had it on the Sega Genesis and would play it for hours with my dad. I would always select Razor Ramon, and he would play as Bret Hart. I was a huge wrestling fan at the time, but he couldn't stand it. He did, however, love playing fighting games with Street Fighter 2 and MK 2 being his particular favorites - WWF WrestleMania the Arcade Game was the best of both worlds for us!! It's a MK style, arcade brawler that happens to be a wrestling game.
I met Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) at a fan event, and he was gracious enough to sign my copy - when I told him of the hours of epic battles between Razor Ramon and Bret Hart, he laughed and crossed out Bret Hart's face and signed "Razor Ramon" over his own likeness. I proudly display that Genesis case on my wall to this day.
WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game (more specifically the MS-DOS version) would make a wonderful addition to the GOG library and would look perfect next to 90s classics like Mortal Kombat Trilogy and MK 1+2+3. It IS a game based on a licensed product, but I believe the performers may have some form of legends deal with WWE, so I'd like to hope a modern release is possible.
I actually been around three of it's ports growing up. I originally played it on Sega Genesis. Not long afterwards I gotten it's PC port. Then finally I had the PS1 version the best port I played. Midway was no stranger to using digitalized actors in their Arcade games. This almost felt like an Mortal Kombat game. Every wrestler has their signature finishers. You don't kill anyone with such intense action. This almost felt more like a fighting game than an wrestling one. You get two versions of the campaign to play. The later having more wrestlers to take down in matches. This is among my favorite WWF now WWE games. It's sequel WWF: In Your House holds nothing on this!!!
Why WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game Needs to Be on GOG — And Why It's the Best WWE Game Ever
Before WWE games embraced realism and simulation-style gameplay, there was WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game — a wild, over-the-top fighter that fused the energy of wrestling with the fast-paced action of classic arcade brawlers. Released in 1995 by Midway, this gem stood out by embracing the absurdity and fun of wrestling in a way that few games since have dared to replicate. And that’s exactly why it needs to be preserved and re-released on GOG.
Unlike later wrestling sims, WrestleMania: The Arcade Game focused on arcade-style action, complete with exaggerated moves, special effects, and fast combos. Imagine Doink the Clown shocking opponents with a joy buzzer or The Undertaker summoning ghosts mid-match — this wasn’t just wrestling; it was Mortal Kombat with turnbuckles. The digitized sprites of real wrestlers like Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Razor Ramon, and Yokozuna made the game feel authentic, even as the gameplay leaned into wild fantasy.
The game was ahead of its time in visual flair and unforgettable character animations, all while being accessible, fast, and endlessly fun in multiplayer. It’s the kind of experience that lives rent-free in the minds of 90s kids — a perfect blend of wrestling fandom and classic arcade chaos.
Bringing WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game to GOG would preserve this unique chapter in WWE gaming history. DRM-free, controller-ready, and optimized for modern PCs, it would let fans old and new relive one of the most entertaining wrestling games ever made.

WarriorWarrior is a 1979 arcade fighting game and is considered one of the first games of its genre. Developed by Tim Skelly while working at Cinematronics, it was released under the Vectorbeam company name shortly before Cinematronics closed Vectorbeam down. The game featured two dueling knights rendered in monochrome vector graphics and based on crude motion capture techniques. Due to the limitations of the hardware used, the processor could not render the characters and gaming environment at the same time and backgrounds were printed, with the characters projected on the top.Action Science fiction
