30 year old here and wanted to take a trip down memory lane. This is unreal, the feeling I had as a kid when my brother and my cousins just popped this into the PS1. Thanks for uploading.
I’m 31 and I can’t stop smiling watching the intro, I had countless hours playing this when I was younger, every Friday after school all my mates would come round mine as I had a ps1 and we’d play this for hours.
I asked for #2 know your role! And got wcw thunder 😒 I had this one, and played the sh!t out of it with my neighbours having a blast doing it, a school friend had smack down 2 and that’s literally all I wanted lol, but mum insisted on buying me thunder and some other junk. I left that sh!t under the tree 😂 she did redeem herself buying gta San Andreas on release, but buying me thunder still hurt as I didn’t ask for much through the year as I was happy with what I had.

For people too young to know, this game was a huge leap forward in wrestling games compared to all that came before it and paved the way to the 2K series of today
Visually yes, but the gameplay and replayability of the Aki series on N64 still hasn't been bettered. Smackdown was faster and easier to play, but lacked depth.
@@Rocket1377 Maybe it's an age or cultural thing Rocket1377. At the time we just thought the whole game was absolutely mental mate 🙂We weren't interested in the superstars or the popular stuff. We just liked creating weirdos that had the body of a meat head yet wore a mini skirt and slapped the face like a woman. It will always make me smile for it's utter madness 🙂
I once played this game for 7 hours straight when I was like 8 (the joys of being young and no responsibilities), my brother still brings it up on occasion. Such a classic.
The first ever wrestling game I ever played when I was 4 years old . My brother and I loved being the Hardy's and beating up Shane and Vince lol . Brings back memories , thanks for this video
Loved playing this game. Still remember when I got it - I was nine, begging my mom at a K-Mart in Louisville circa March 2000. She finally gave in and bought it. So many memories of playing the game for hours, both with friends and against the computer. Played several copies that belonged to friends as well. Whether I was at my house, or the house of a buddy, Smackdown served as an incredible escape. This game was almost as good as No Mercy.
I remember I was in high school and I saved up my allowance and I had my mom buy me a copy from Best Buy when she and my dad went to shop for a home computer. Fun times man. #2000
Dude... best wrestling game of all time. Everytime I pick up a WWE 2K game I try to play it like this, and am frustrated everything isn't exactly the same..
The best thing to reminisce about is the chatter and banter among friends during the silence of the dev logos, right before that banger of a jam indicates that IT'S ON.
The first ever game I played on PS1 that my father bought as a birthday gift for my elder brother. After that I remember spending my after-school hours playing Smackdown and so many other games with my brothers and friends. Miss those days! I wish I still had that PS1 console -- so many memories were attached to it.
I think the wildest thing in the world was getting a ps2 and then playing this game non stop align with SSX and Tekken Tag. I could not believe how amazing this game was for the time!
31 years old and I seen a guy post a sealed and graded copy of his to the group and went for a walk down memory lane. Jfc I can't tell you the amount of time I invested in this game. My cousin and I, who's more like brother than cousin, would wake up every morning before my parents and mamaw and papaw and play this mf on the living room tv until they made us go outside. I played nothing but this game from like 8-10 years old. This game is how I learned all the tricks to cleaning CD discs. Including bic light to fix the deep ones lol thank you for posting this !
I was having this game on my old pc when i was kid it was my first wrestling game i've ever played, i really miss this game so much especially when i play as special guest ref.
My mom bought me this game at a swap meet. I had no clue what I was buying but it turned out to be the best game ever made. Spent countless hours playing this with my buddy. I use to enjoy watching the intro every time. The peoples elbow and the stone cold stunner… if you know you know. This game with tomahawk pro skater. And crash bandicoot.. awesome!
@@nathanhuynh4292 I think you start with 1 finisher automatically. You could also set it higher. I remember doing an experiment Kane vs Tori, Kane would have 5 finishers and would just do 5 chokeslams as soon as the match starts and it auto KO's her. I just wanted to see if it was possible to KO someone early in the game, if you stacked the odds in your favor enough it was possible but only against the non-wrestlers who dont ahve very high durability.
@@nathanhuynh4292 Old comment I know lol. That one wasn't wasn't the finisher move version of the stunner. There were two versions of the stunner in this game... That first one was a simple one that functioned as SCSA's signature move (different from the finisher as the wrestlers only had 1 finisher programmed each... e.g the Rock Bottom was Rock's signature move but the People's Elbow was his finisher). Humourously, that simple stunner was also Vince's finisher in this game lol. And the "Stone Cold" Stunner was the finisher-only move that included the Rock's version of overselling that could KO an opponent or lead to an easy pin.
It’s horrible now. Impossible to remember most of them so just end up bashing random buttons. No sense of accomplishment like in the old games. Just luck now.
The ps1 case of this game used to mesmerise me as a child I would walk passed the gaming store and there it was sat out on a table with 50 of them stacked up every television in the store playing clips of the game and the intro knowing I had noway of getting my hands on it...... Then opening it xmas day as a kid popping it in right away and hearing that intro would make any kid run around his room with his nob out saying "na na na na na I've got wwf smackdown na na na" to my then younger brother who was given some snowboarding game sfx or some shit
This game and no mercy for N64 was on replay to the max ❤ good old days! Hands down one of the best wrestling games ever. I had so much fun! Those soundtracks during gameplay and entrances was awesome as well.
It's funny too because I remember when I would think back on this game prior to rewatching old clips, my mind made the graphics much better than they actually were 🤣
Bro I’m 20 years old and I remember playing the mess out this game. Like literally everyday playing this on my ps1. I’m taking a trip down memory lane on this one.
First wrestling game I played on the PS1 was WWF Warzone and thought it was pretty good at the time...but this game spat all over it with its fun gameplay and nice graphics.
I used to play this game so much that when I watched real WWE on TV my hands automatically did the button presses on the invisible controller sometimes lmao
By the time this had come out, I had already got a Sega Dreamcast and I couldn't go back to PlayStation EXCEPT for this game and Smackdown 2, because Dreamcast didn't have anything like it. It had Royal Rumble, but it wasn't the same. You couldn't create wrestlers. This game had much more depth and variety. It kept me playing that PlayStation for quite a while longer.
32 year old here!! Loved this game. I gotta admit, I was disappointed they only did a video backdrop as the entrance. Seemed lazy but otherwise, an amazing game!
I remember when the newer games came out and the entrances were so much more realistic; basically the whole game.. but I used to loooove watching the entrances so that’s why it stood out 🤣

Same I'm 31
22 now and had this when i was very young great memories on the controller with no analog sticks me an my bro
Same here!! You just described my feelings! Nostalgic memories 🥺
Same I’m 30, use to play this game for hours
Same here, I am 29 and we spend so many days playing this with my older brother and friends. So much fun.
I’m 31 and I can’t stop smiling watching the intro, I had countless hours playing this when I was younger, every Friday after school all my mates would come round mine as I had a ps1 and we’d play this for hours.
True 😅👌
Yes this is nostalgia :)
yeahhhh. every friday after school, with my cousin. Good memories
I'm 31 too. This was nostalgic. 😢😢. Miss those days a lot
Me too 🙂🙂🙂
Glad to know everyone in the comments had the same awesome childhood memories I did growing up
Remember asking for this game for Christmas in 2000. Woke up at 6am and played it all day!
I asked for #2 know your role! And got wcw thunder 😒 I had this one, and played the sh!t out of it with my neighbours having a blast doing it, a school friend had smack down 2 and that’s literally all I wanted lol, but mum insisted on buying me thunder and some other junk.

I remember playing this game every Saturday night with my brothers, what a classic, one of my favorite games in PS1.
Played this with my friends every Sunday without fail back in the 90's. If I could relive a year of my life, it would be the year 2000.
2000 was so great

Word tho 💯
The wrestling is quite nice on the ps1 love the movements in the game
Good times right here. This game got me into wrestling even more.
Can we please dedicate an entire month to the 90s, no social media, no phones, just wholesome interactions, wrestling like this, a rebirth of the good days and good times.
No we cant old man, go watch tv
The last great decade from beginning to end...
Amen

And when you made your own wrestler with big fists and high heels Devin, it was also f'kin mental kids 🙂
It was amazing - the pinnacle of wresting games. Way way head of its time. They haven’t been the same since tbh
Visually yes, but the gameplay and replayability of the Aki series on N64 still hasn't been bettered. Smackdown was faster and easier to play, but lacked depth.

No Mercy was much better

Just turn 32.. & I'm still gaming strong🚀🔥🔥🔥
1:55 that drum is so classic
26 soon to be 27 this was my childhood right here 😭❤️❤️
The best thing to reminisce about is the chatter and banter among friends during the silence of the dev logos, right before that banger of a jam indicates that IT'S ON.
the drum in the beginning, and the sick sound at 2:22 takes me back to the year 2000, cant beat those times!
Those first few seconds gave me goosebumps...
Wow. It was 1999 when my cousins and I were playing this in their basement. Good ol days.
27 años y este pequeño video me hizo sentir como un niño nuevamente
Imagine the remaster on just this version of Smackdown 😍
🔥 🔥
WWF Royal Rumble was a graphically better version of this game, but it was more of an arcade game

Smackdown 1 and 2 Played this 2 games like crazy ,My favorite smackdown game was here comes the pain on the ps2
My childhood memories back in the early 2000's playing the early Smackdown! PS1 games 💙
I played this game all day all night good memories from the ps1 era I’m 33 now wish I can go back in time for those memories
I think the wildest thing in the world was getting a ps2 and then playing this game non stop align with SSX and Tekken Tag. I could not believe how amazing this game was for the time!
Main menu theme is a BANGER 🔥
I don’t think I ever played as Test. Ever! 😂
the worst lol
This game was really ahead of its time
Boy if I don’t miss my childhood 🤦🏾♂️🔥💯.
The track from the Tori/Chyna match has stayed in my head to this day!!

so nostalgic this is my childhood
38 years old and still love this masterpiece 👌

Came out in March 2000 actually! (or maybe you meant you played it in 2001)
@@MBM1117727 miss or Mr oldie
I played this in 2001
Im 34... used to play this loads when i was a kid!!! Brings back memories. Pretty sure you could throw them out the ring and pick up chairs etc?
So many memories of smack down what a game only bettered by smack down 2! Loved the table and ladder matches!
This holds up surprisingly well. This was almost ps2 era and it looks almost like it could be ps2.
When wrestling was wrestling
I thought wrestling was football
Technically it's not real wrestling lol
And when men were men. And women were men.
@danielgould9107 😅😅😅
If you wasn't around during this era you missed out 😆😆😆 these was the days Golden era days
I SAY IT ALL THE TIME🤦🏾♂️
that menu music is pure badass. also the menu was much more convinient than in Smackdown 2
Holy crap. Nostalgia galore.
I love how he hits the stunner like 10 seconds into the match 🤣

I remember borrowing this from my cousin when I was 8 and never giving it back 😂😂😂
Back then when you could do all the moves in a simple way and not as complicated as todays wwe games
It’s horrible now. Impossible to remember most of them so just end up bashing random buttons. No sense of accomplishment like in the old games. Just luck now.
Lol it's so much better now but there's still issues. It's crazy in a way though how close this looks to the game of today 25 years later.

That intro…so many memories ❤
The intro. Wow i loved playing this as a kid on my brother's ps1
Greatest part about the story mode is that you can literally keep going. I remember I made it to 2050 and it was amazing! Wish time worked that way 😅
had this game on PS1 😁 🎮
7:40 that Irish whip to the turnbuckle was epic
That start up music!! Nostalgia! Remember coming in from school, mum making dinner, I'd fire this badboy on then straight to royal rumble mode
I dare anyone of today's editors to make an intro like this. The music the montage, DAMN! Just by looking at it I get adrenaline rush
I choose Val Venis..so funny coz he can dance like chicken dance ..when u press some button on joystick😂😂
They did a great job with Kane’s entrance
This game was amazing such big part of my childhood
First game I ever tracked its release. I was on the message boards and reading magazines waiting for the latest updates. Great times

jadi kangen dulu suka rental main ini smekdown hahahah
Late night sleep overs at the cousins house playing Smackdown PS1 until 2am then up on Saturday morning for Smackdown on cable. Unreal times
This game and no mercy for N64 was on replay to the max ❤ good old days! Hands down one of the best wrestling games ever. I had so much fun! Those soundtracks during gameplay and entrances was awesome as well.
I remember thinking they couldn’t get any realer than this. 😂
😂😂😂
To be fair though, I still think it looks really good for a PS1 game. You compare it to WWF Attitude and Warzone and it's leagues ahead.
It's funny too because I remember when I would think back on this game prior to rewatching old clips, my mind made the graphics much better than they actually were 🤣

The point in history where we all finally went...."ah, so THIS is how you make a wrestling game!"
Im almost 30… i remember playing this with so many profound memories… year 2000 in baghdada iraq before America the bully screwed everything up
My first WWE game, dayum that music is nostalgic
I remember my mother bought me this when I got a 89 on my report card. Man, these were really the days yo.
Это игра моей молодости. Автор видео спасибо тебе большое ЗА НАСТОЛЬГИЮ
OMFG had completely forgotten about the create a superstar option!! Used to spend hours building in that!!! 😮😮😮

Had so much fun playing this.
Old is gold
I logged a few hours and a few matches on this game back in the day! Take me back !!!! :(
Just took a trip down memory lane!
This and WWF Attitude 🥲🥲 what a time man Kane and undertakers entrance used to scare the crap outta me when I played this 😂😂😂
Best era to be alive in history
Man, I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid good times.
The amount of time I'd spend creating wrestlers in this game really foretold off an obsession I'd have in future games.
I remember when the newer games came out and the entrances were so much more realistic; basically the whole game.. but I used to loooove watching the entrances so that’s why it stood out 🤣
Oh man I loved this game I played wcw thunder before this one The jump in graphics and gameplay was unreal!
i was so obsessed with this game. Now im gonna have to buy it again along with cool boarders.
I liked the first 2 cool boarders. Not so much the ones after.
I loved this game!🙌🏻
Nostalgic! The rock was my fav
