WWF WrestleMania: Steel Cage Challenge

WWF Steel Cage Match is a wrestling game developed for the NES and Sega Master System by Sculpted Signature and published by Acclaim Entertainment under the LJN brand.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Terrible graphics; while the wrestlers animate well, they lack any facial details, are all the same height, and with the exception of their clothes cannot be distinguished.
 * 2) Horrible controls; your wrestler moves very slow, controls are delayed, resorting to having the player mash buttons, and this especially gets frustrating when trying to avoid getting pinned as the opponent can easily cheap shot you and win very quickly. It also reuses the same grappling/fighting tactics that would be re-used in future Sculptured Software WWF games, such as the SNES/Genesis games WWF Royal Rumble and WWF Raw, except it's poorly executed here.
 * 3) Every wrestler HAS THE EXACT SAME SET OF MOVES, no matter which one you choose, there are no unique special moves to them like "Macho Man" Randy Savage's elbow drop nor the Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver.
 * 4) The steel cage match is not true to how it works in real life; if you attempt to climb the cage and the wrestler you knock down gets up, you automatically fall off the cage, and there's no struggle/fight on the cage (where grappling could have worked there) and to win you have to get to the top of the cage. When in reality, the wrestler has to get out of the cage completely and make it to the floor.
 * 5) Awful sound quality, with scratchy voices and sounds from the announcer, wrestlers, and crowd (the crowd sounds more like waves on a shore).
 * 6) The manual says there's a dropkick move, but it doesn't exist.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Each version of the game has a different roster; while Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Irwin R. Schyster, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, and The Undertaker all appear in both ports, the NES version features Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Sid Justice, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and The Mountie, while the Master System version features Ric Flair, Papa Shango, Shawn Michaels, and Tatanka.
 * 2) If you're low on health, just holding "SELECT" and you can restore your health bar back. You can only do this once per match though.
 * 3) Decent 8-bit renditions of the wrestlers' themes.
