Saturday Night Slam Masters on the Genesis is one of those wrestling games that just feels right—like you’re playing an arcade cabinet in some smoky pizza joint back in the '90s. The moment you pick a wrestler (I always go for the masked luchador, because of course), the game throws you straight into the ring with zero fluff. No career mode, no tutorials—just you, some beefy dude across the screen, and a crowd that loses it when you land a spinning piledriver.

The sprites are chunky and full of personality, and the moves have this satisfying weight to them—clotheslines actually feel like they’d knock someone’s teeth out. The tag team matches get chaotic fast, especially when the AI decides to gang up on you. And that soundtrack? Pure hype. It’s the kind of game where you’ll accidentally elbow-drop your buddy off the couch after a close match.

If you’ve got a Genesis and even a passing interest in wrestling, this one’s a no-brainer. Just don’t blame me when you start yelling at the screen.
