Remember that ridiculous '90s TV show where beefed-up athletes in spandex bodysuits tackled everyday people in obstacle courses? Yeah, this SNES game nails that vibe perfectly. You pick from a roster of regular joes (or janes) and go head-to-head with the show's iconic gladiators in events like Joust—basically trying to knock each other off platforms with giant q-tips.
The controls are janky in that classic early-SNES way—expect some awkward wall-climbing moments where your character suddenly faceplants for no reason. But that kind of adds to the charm? Power Slam is my favorite event—you basically just rugby-tackle your opponent into submission while the crowd goes wild.
It’s not exactly a deep competitive experience, but it’s a hilarious couch multiplayer game if you’ve got friends who don’t take gaming too seriously. The digitized crowd chants and over-the-top announcer really sell the whole spectacle. Just don’t expect to play this one for hours—it’s pure, dumb fun in short bursts.
