Description

Two wrestling teams enter the ring for a rough series of tag-team contests where timing, stamina and smart partner changes determine the winner. Each wrestler brings distinctive techniques, while repeated victories lead toward increasingly prestigious trophies and tougher opposition.

Published by Namco for the Japanese Famicom, Tag Team Pro-Wrestling adapts Technos Japan’s arcade wrestling concept with an unusual move-selection system. After initiating a grapple, players quickly choose attacks from a menu before the opportunity disappears. Tag mechanics and character-specific moves add strategy to the simple but demanding 8-bit competition.

• Control a two-wrestler team and switch partners during matches to protect weakened fighters. Smart tagging can completely change the direction of a difficult bout.
• Select throws and wrestling techniques from a quick action menu during grapples. Fast decision-making is just as important as positioning inside the ring.
• Fight through increasingly difficult tournaments while pursuing larger championship trophies. The unusual control system gives this early wrestling game a personality of its own.
