  • Back in March, we cleared eBay out of their handheld wrestling games and we can finally show you the result of our "investment." From early WWF and WCW LCD games from Acclaim and Tiger Electronics to WWE's 2005 plug and play release, let's take a look at our eBay haul.

    LCD games always remain a bizarre oddity in gaming history, mostly because the technology was outdated by 1990, yet Tiger Electronics kept pumping them out in fancier and fancier was until 1998.

    I own Electronic Wrestling by Tiger, Tiger WWF Superstars, and the WCW Hulk Hogan handheld that plays like the Wrestlemania Challenge handheld. Incidentally, it looks like Big Boss Man and Andre the Giant in those handhelds, with only the boss changing. In Wrestlemania Challenge the final boss is Randy Savage, whereas in the WCW handheld it looks like Goldberg is the final boss.

James Rolfe said it best, "a game this simple shouldn't require instructions".

    38:46 The "GameKey" was an accessory that some Jakks Pacific Plug 'n' Play game consoles had that allowed additional content to be configured into the programming of the software. The GameKey was sort of like a memory card that had the ROM of bonus content, and while most Plug 'n' Play consoles were GameKey compatible as a means of future proofing, not every console ever got or had evidence of a GameKey in development since GameKeys were specific to certain consoles due to the software configuration. The WWE Plug 'n' Play was one of those. Had there actually been any work on the WWE game, it likely would have added an additional set of wrestlers like Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Edge, and Shelton Benjamin (I'm just being hypothetical here).
    And, I did own this game. What else was I gonna spend $10 on at a Family Dollar?

    The WWF Reality Fighters package wasn't saying that you can beat your friends. It was saying that you can train your wrestler to beat your friend's wrestler. The apostrophe is correct. The other wrestler belongs to the friend.

    My family used to go on like 18 hour road trips in order to visit family. My parents would always buy me and my brother some Tiger handhelds before each trip and we would blow through each one during the trip to blow time. I had a few wrestling ones, but they could be very repetitive.
