Played by: Krendall
WWF Superstars is the first WWF arcade game
and is the prequel to WrestleFest. Form a team from six of
the top WWF wrestlers of the time and earn the right to face
the MegaBucks: "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Andre
The Giant.
I play as Honky Tonk Man and The Big Bossman because they
are my best two wrestlers. Honky has great reach with his
kicks and Bossman has an infinite loop with his finisher
(which you see plenty of times in the playthrough).
I gave myself three credits to complete the game. One to
start the game (obviously) and one to use in each MegaBucks
match. The rule was I can only use the credit to extend the
time, not just to save myself from losing.
The borders during gameplay are just how the game is. If you
look during cutscenes those borders are gone, so I can't
crop them without cropping different parts of the game. I
honestly can't remember if they showed up on actual arcade
machines (it's been years, after all).

Nothing will ever beat that feeling of going to the Arcade after school on a friday night with your friends playing these games in the mid 80s and early 90s smelling all the food , smoke and just everybody having a blast
***** Thanks man ....and i will check out your Amazon reviews.
I totally agree; there was and never will be anything like them again.
Dark, smoky, musty arcades, with beer company mirrors and tattered posters adorning the walls. Sure, there were also clean, neon-bright, well-run ones in bigger cities, but my town mostly had the sketchy, disreputable kind...and the "dangerous" atmosphere added to the excitement...with weird, rare knockoff Japanese games you'll never see again except in vague memories, and broken pre-video electro-mechanical oddities in the back with the washrooms.
And games galore! Filled with video games, pool tables, and pinball machines, all stained, cigarette-burned, with quarters lined up to reserve spots on the most popular ones. A past-its-prime 45rpm-playing Rock-Ola jukebox with great old and newer songs.
And the regulars - long-haired nutters with whiffs of BO and pot reeking from their jean jackets and lumberjack fleece shirts, decorated with heavy metal iron-on badges. Girls with poofy bleached 'dos, crop-tops, those pinstriped jeans with full back-to-front zippers, and chunky or spike heels.
Now that I'm grown and nearing 50, I wonder if I'd still feel at ease and enjoy the fun and noise of those seedy establishments if they were to suddenly re-appear in my old stomping grounds, or if I'd prefer to find a quiet coffee shop with WiFi, and my phone playing Strikefleet Omega...
Sean Wilkinson the good old days
and the feelings when ur parents bought u a first console for u NES or sega
you better believe it !
How this and Wrestlefest haven't been re-released is beyond me. Literally a license to print money.
Always thought the same
Maybe arcade 1 up could do something?
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 be fucking class with modern wrestlers and then classic ones too.
As far as i'm, aware the rights holder can't rerelease the game without renewing their WWE license which would make it financially not viable. But if wwe was clever they would look into getting the rights to all the WWF games released up to like 2000 (arcade, pc,, consoles, everything) and put them into every WWE 2k game from now on. Might be more complicated, and costly, than it seems though, IDK. B
@@milkcarton6654 great info very interesting. Be great if wwe could I agree would sell out in no time!
Love this game. Remember playing it at the bowling alley when I was a little kid. I was always Hogan and Ultimate Warrior.
CHUR BRO....I WAS ALWAYS SAVAGE BOSSMAN OR WARRIOR
I loved the Honky tonk man
hogan and warrior or hogan and macho man
@@lordgoro But they didn't give him his shake rattle and roll move
@@josephdunn5887 Warrior's gorilla press was the ultimate rubbing it in to your opponent. Hogan's poses too. I forget if Savage could come off the top rope with his big elbow 🤔
I feel bad for kids today , they’ll never know how awesome it was going to an arcade.
There's an arcade in the town I live in... Marcade in Rockaway (Edit NOT DOVER), NJ... love it.
@@JoeyMartz
How many kids go to it. In my day we use to go to boxing, football and cycled all over the place and went to the arcades.
There is not that many arcades around today. I blame my generation for raising kids from a helicopter.
@@bighands69 A lot of kids go... HOWEVER, they have a wall dedicated to all the current generation consoles with comfy leather couches.... Having said that, the rest of the space is of ALL THE VINTAGE 80's - 00's COIN OPERATED GAMES & PIN BALL MACHINES. Good times!
@@JoeyMartz
What made arcades special back in the 1970s,1980s and 1990s was the fact the machines were far more advanced than the home variants.
So the game that was in the arcade was cutting edge and the game that was played at home was considered inferior.
So arcades need to innovate and do things that home systems cannot do.
There’s allot of Dave Busters type places open today. They are pretty cool, but it isn’t the same.. The arcade use to be a place where future technology and games, were on display. There isn’t much in the arcade these days, that the home systems can’t match
I still consider this the best wrestling game ever made.
So you would out this above wrestlefest? If so, why?
@@Gameboy-Unboxings This game is very nostalgic for me. As a kid I have such fond memories playing this game. For me I preferred the game sprites in superstars and the game mechanics also. And just how the game is presented visually more appealing appearance wise. But obviously it’s just my personal opinion I don’t expect everyone to agree.
Same here
@@LittleJacob208 well one thing this has over Wrestlefest for sure.....you get to see Miss Elizabeth at the end
I second that…. And Mat Mania.
Of all the people in the world that could have done MDM's voice, they went with that guy
TheDragonEpyon yes they went with Steve Urkle's voice.
Have you heard Hawk's voice in WrestleFest? It's even worse
😂😂😂
@nemo pouncey 😂😂
Love how that sounds NOTHING like Ted Dibiase lol
Ditto with LOD in Wrestlefest
@Baba Yaga Yet it's still a good villain voice.
this game was immensely popular with children. WWF was very big in the 80s. it also generated a larger fascination with its audience, captivating them more than anything else could, even pokemon in the 90s. NES were the best graphics most of us could get at home during this time, which made arcade games extra special, so you could imagine how this game must have felt
I always loved how the ref gets increasingly pissed when counting the last 4 seconds of the count-out. 😂
Yep, Boss Man Slam was the best finisher in this
WARRIOR....😐
Boss Man goes so cheap on DiBiase in this video 😂... he couldn't get out of the tosses and side slams 😤😄
This was a very good wrestling game. Andre was as unstoppable here as he was IRL. That splash he had=GAME OVER.
CAN'T BELIEVE RAVISHING RICK RUDE WASN'T IN THIS. ;*( THAT WAS A CRIME!!!!! ;*(
STEJTHEGREATEST They went with the biggest heels of 1988...
@@fivebearrugs I'm clueless how anyone could think the Honky Tonk Man was a bigger heel than Rick Rude.
@nemo pouncey He was also in WWF WrestleMania Challenge (1990) for the NES with Hulk, Warrior, Andre, Savage, Boss Man, Duggan, Beefcake, and “Yourself”
The Shake Rattle and Roll looks more like the Rude Awakening in this....almost like HTM was originally Rude.
This game has it all for one of the first WWF video games ever. Sound effects of the moves the crowd, interviews, ring entrance, each wrestler has their own styles of moves and taunts. They even have the voice of the referee.
Spent a lot of quarters on this game back in the 80s, with a lot of good friends at our local pizza parlor! Damn I miss the 80s!
It's sad that half of these wrestlers are dead.
Sad but true
and because of an accidental mention of the N-word, the WWE now refuses to acknowledge Hulk Hogan now (which is ironic since Vince McMahon used it when speaking to John Cena years after this game was made).
figment1988 update: Hulk Hogan was reinstated he appeared at the Crown Jewel event this past weekend
figment1988 accident??! LMMFAO!
Hating someone for being racist is the same thing as being racist.
The boss fight with Ted "Million Dollar Man" DiBiase and Andre the Giant can go on anyone's top final boss list.
I remember this in the arcades. It was a hit, lots of people were playing it.
I would have killed for a console version of this back in the day....
Yes. It is strange that we never got console versions of this and wrestlefest on the SNES.
I see and hear influences of Double Dragon in movement and sound design. Loved this game as an 9 year old when I first played it back in the 80s
Same company made it
That kick and slap by Andre was brutal.
'cuz the damage Andre could do if you could pull of his move - i think 🤔
I'd forgotten this was a Technos game and heavily resembled Double Dragon. I also didn't know it was "For Use In Europe Only!" Lucky I never got arrested for playing it as a kid.
That was only for copies of the machine intended to be sold in Europe, the one you played probably had different county/countries listed there. This was also far from the only game to have that sort of statement.
I would always pick The Mega Powers themselves Hulk Hogan & Macho Man and sometimes I'd switch Macho Man for The Ultimate Warrior whenever I played this game growing up in the '80s & '90s. For a long long time after arcades started to disappear in the 2000s, I thought I'd never be able to play this game ever again until I found this in an arcade my younger brother told me about was located near where I worked. I swear I felt like a kid again the second my hands grasped the joystick & touched the bottoms✌☺👍
😂👍👍💫🕹🕹💥
Many allowances were blown playing this game. My favorite team were Big Boss Man and The Ultimate Warrior!! Still one of my favorite wrestling games!
I WANT IT IN 2023! 💫🕹🕹🙏
As much as I liked this game at the time, WrestleFest was a massive improvement on it in every way.
Million Dollar Man had the coolest theme song: "Everybody's got a price, everybody's gonna pay. Cause the Million Dollar Man, always gets his way. Hahahahahaha"
Finn Maccool And he didn’t get that theme until 1990!
Tons of laughs from Andre the Giant's garbled comment- "No one can eat MAIL BOX"
He says "no one can beat megabucks" that was the tag team of andre and dibiase
@@Surfer041 thanks. I always wonderEd wtf he said
Thomas Storff thanks! I was wondering what he was saying. Finally in 2019 i get the answer 😁
I never knew Andre said "No one can beat Mega Bucks" he said "Mega Bucks" in such a garbled way it sounded like he said "No one can beat me you bum."
@@mr10tomidnight sounds to me like he says "No one can beat million bucks"
Killing em with the bossman slam
I had the music stuck in my head for years without remembering it was from this game. Lol
I remember seeing this at the arcades back in the day. It looked amazing, since it was before Super Nintendo and most console games at the time had a very limited color palette.
this needs the sheik to make all of these jabroni's humble
Honky Tonk, your 'neck breakers are the best!' I love when 'Andre the Giant was busting ass' how Big boss man entered the ring and just 'bossed Andre about,' Andre had to make a hasty retreat to tag in 'Million Dollar man' who was just 'destroyed' by the boss! Honky Tonk, 'he's got your back!' Wonderfully entertaining. It's a Corona virus Lock down Apr 2020, and you are really 'giving my boredom a shove' with your great quality posts! Keep up the 'Super-fantastic work!'
I was a MASTER at this game! I could usually get all the way to the end on one quarter!! I specialized in countouts!! Id throw the CPU out of the ring(or jump out myself) and beat the hell out of them with the chairs and tables, then jump back into the ring right before the countout ended! Damn I was GOOD
Me too.
Bossman was my key to whipping this game with my buds. As long as you had Bossman to mercilessly side slam your opponent over and over again you were gold. Just stay close to the ropes when they rebound off and slam em. Although you couldn't side slam Andre. Had to isolate Dibiase
So cheap 😂. Guaranteed to enrage your victimized opponent irl !!
Big Boss Man- coco savage of Superstar.
Why couldn’t you do it on Andre the Giant?
@@ViceAdmiralMando cuz he's andre.
@@ViceAdmiralMando deep cut
I used to play this all the time as a kid. Until WrestleFest came out. And now watching this again I seriously imagined Virgil looking at the screen and yelling "FUCK MONEY!!"
4:46 big boss man anticipating macho man breaking up the pin fall lol
Oh god I loved doing the Boss Man Slam trick, totally unbeatable against the computer. I called it "beating a confession outta him!" RIP Boss Man
Big boss man is coco savage of Superstar.
I like how you can spot a Technos game from the other side of the arcade because of the distinctive character designs - they all had the same blocky, rounded look to their physiques, with very flat shading and they always stand at 45 degree angles to the camera.
Yep both Warrior and the Hulkster had Abobo's body. Macho Man's face reminds me of 'Machine Gun' Willy (Double Dragon final boss). Many of Abore's (second Double Dragon II boss) animations were given to Andre too. And Hacksaw kinda resembles Rowper as he appeared in Double Dragon II. And both Billy Lee and Linda Lash can be spotted by ringside!
Good old days where we play hooky from school and go to the arcades and playing games like wwf superstars.
Now I just got this on mame emulator! Still fun!
I don't think I ever played this game, but I remember the The Million Dollar Man (Ted DiBiase) and Andre the Giant talking. Funny enough, I remember Ted DiBiase saying "Nothing can get between me and my million dollar dream." Funny how the mind changes things. Thank you for posting this, it scratched an itch to see this again;.
I played ten pin bowling after school and they had this game in the arcade. I was more interested in watching the game than bowling
You are one of best players I have ever seen I love your style of play is unorthodox and it works
Andre the giant RIP
Warrior RIP
My 1st thought when I 1st seen this back in the day...
Me: Wow!! 🤯 WWF, in the ARCADE!!
AND it looks like Double Dragon!! 🤩
back in 89 when i first discovered ultimate warrior, cause of this game. great memories
Warrior and Boss Man was my favorite combo on this.
Oh man, they had this in my local fish mongers which was a bit random! Absolutely loved it! School lunch hours will never be as good again! Classic gaming era👌🏼
WARRIORISM. my grandpa had this game in our arcade. for a period of time I would spend my $2 daily allowance in quarters on playing this. 1989 was an epic year. I'm sorry for those of you that didn't exist/were self aware to enjoy it.
Me and my friend play this game at laundry mats. It bring back a good memory .
Where did you find this game at it would be awesome to play
Always love this channel from Longplay guys. Lots of games I keep on forgetting back. I really need to make a bucket list and go through them.
That wrestling ring was huge !!
My parents owned an arcade and renting out Nintendo games. Parents didn't need daycare for me. I played games for free and had a room in the back where i'd just play any Nintendo game i wanted.
I spent hours playing this one, this game had a brotherhood at the arcade
While Wrestlefest is technically a more solid game and improves upon Superstars' formula I still prefer the latter. Most of that has to do with it being the first WWF game I ever played and also I prefer the roster slightly more on this one with the inclusion of Savage and Andre especially.
I agree
True........but also keep in mind that Wrestlefest has Jake Roberts and Mr. Perfect. And of course LOD and Demolition. It doesn't feel right not having Savage though. I guess thats because he was "retired" at the time they released the game
Ah, the infamous Big Boss Man trick. I never played as him, but it looks like he pretty much can't be stopped once he corners somebody.
DJCandyManMike Realy???? Never knew that
+Johny Kilroy Obvious troll. I never play as Big Boss Man, though, so I forget about that trick sometimes.
+DJCandyManMikㅓ
I never knew about that. Not sure why snowflake here was so offended by your tip
He is coco savage of Superstar
7:25 It's impossible for the CPU to escape from Big Boss special technique after the Irish Whip, if its character is stunned. Except, of course, if the CPU controls the Big Giant.
Because Andre the Giant is a final boss in many wrestling video games
My favorite Era of arcade games
This is one arcade I would buy !
Man, this brings back memories. Did these guys have a hand in Double Dragon, the graphics and the way they animate remind me a lot of that classic game.
Look at the title screens for both games. They both have 'copyright Technos Japan Corp'.
If you look in the crowd(further left or right), you'll see billy or jimmy lee from DD.
Konami, yeah
Dibiase "The Million Dollar Man" in this clip can't get out of Boss Man's repeated throws into the ropes and side slams. I don't remember it being impossible to get out of someone's moves like this. Momentum swings were possible when I played.
Friday night at the movie theatre in the early 90's was the shit!!!
Made it look easy!
Does it say at the intro "Ladies and gentlemen it's time to get it on"? I never understood the speech. Thank you
This game is legendary!
This game was topped by the even better WWF Wrestlefest. Many quarters were sunk into that machine back in the day.
I like this one better. This is the summit of the wrestling games
Going to arcades primed us for social interactions in ways kids are severely lacking these days.
Where and how can i play this game this use to be my shit
You make it look so easy.
GOD BLESS
Andre the Giant- final boss in many wrestling video games
When i played this. I always went for the count out
Used to play this game in the video rental Shop back in the day. Then one day it had been replaced by Wrestlefest .
Now this is how a pro plays this game
Damn, those are some heavy hands from Andre
Have you seen his actual hands? They were pretty heavy. There's a story Ric Flair told about him, Andre, Black Jack Mulligan, and Wahoo McDaniel hanging out at the beach. Black Jack slapped Andre for some reason, and Andre grabbed Mulligan and McDaniel, dragged them into the ocean, and held them under for a couple of minutes. Flair said it was the one time Mulligan bit off more than he could chew.
Two Big Boss Man finishers + a big splash and you knew you had won.
Great promo by Mega Bucks.
wrestling was awesome back then too
I was never clear on the controls as a kid
Apart from extremely simple games (Pacman, etc) the arcade experience usually boiled down to frantic button mashing. I'm not sure anyone ever knew the controls.
20:00 wait a second, they already beat these guys and got the title.
Is it just me or does Big Bad Bossman's animation look a bit odd? His eyes are constantly squinting lmao!
EVERYBODY GOT A PRICE, EVERYBODY GONNA PAY, BECAUSE THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN ALWAYS GETS HIS WAY - "MILLION DOLLAR MAN" TED DIBASE
Never understood the Grappling system here. After a four successful slams, you instantly lose on the next grapple, no matter how fast you push buttons
6:01
Oh bull shit, Hogan wouldn't job like that...
I need to crank my superstars desktop cabinet up one of my prized possessions 😮
The graphics and sound in this Superstars game were not as good as Wrestlefest. But, Superstars has some characters not found in Wrestlefest. I wish Wrestlefest would have had Andre The Giant, The Honky Tonk Man, and those other characters.
The best wrestling in all time IS WWF!
LOL no. Saying that just shows you never watched any other pro wrestling at all.
This game would be perfect if they made the belts like how ted dibiase wore the million dollar belt to the ring in wrestlefest. Also, imagine the hart foundation, superfly, Rick rude, demolition, the rockers, Jake the snake, undertaker, British bulldog, piper, steamboat.
Too bad Million and Andre weren't unlockable characters.
didn't matter which arcade, if i heard that intro music, i was going straight to it lol.
Aladdin's Castle was where I was first introduced to this game. I loved it. There was another wrestling game too, unlicensed, I can't remember the name though. I just remember Star Man and the ref counting like, ONE...TWO...REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
darklordojeda mat mania it's called
Star man was from NES Pro Wrestling
I always finished this with one quarter. Macho Man + Ultimate Warrior all the way!
Miss Elizabeth at the end !?!?!!? I don't remember that !
Does anybody know the version of Mame that works with this game?
Classic arcade game
Game is more real than WWF. Nice to see Hogan get beat down and pinned, instead of that ridiculous hulking up garbage. He was always my least favorite, but in fairness, it’s coming from a Macho Man fan.
R.i.P. virgil and Andre.😢
where is "Nature boy" Ric Flair in the game
At the time this was made he was still with NWA/WCW. He wouldn't join the WWF until late '91.
+Alasiyan Man Avraamides
He was at NWA at the time...
12:30 Miss Elizabeth, my eyes are up here, ;-)
HTM and Boss Man were good, since they could do power moves on Andre
How can I play this ? I just got that game stick lite , it has wrestlefest but I think this came afterwards ?
I could never get the moves down. If I would happen win it would be a stroke of luck.
