Champion Wrestler
« on: February 26, 2008, 03:22:55 PM »
Does anyone know how to play this game? How do I execute special moves and such?

This is a port of the Taito arcade. I can't find any information online with regards to how to play.

So no one actually knows how to play?

And who the f*ck is WOPR? Do I pronounce his name "Whopper?"

Are you kidding?  It stands for War Operation Plan Response, the computer in WarGames; you're correct on the pronunciation.

No, I'm not. I've never heard of WarGames. I just Wiki-ed it. Is that movie something I should be aware of for some reason?

It's an 80's classic.

Sorry, I thought you might've been poking fun at this corny classic.  I'm surprised someone of your vintage could've missed that one, not that there's any reason to track it down now.

I find it a bit odd as well, if it's as classic as you guys say. Although I'm almost tempted to track down a copy anyway so I can experience some oldschool Matthew Broderick cheese.

The movie is a cult classic it should be in any ones 80's movie collection.

Btw amazon sells it for $9.99  :wink:

Oh and here's the trailer if it's not enough to convince you.

Shall we play a game!?

Did you ever see ProjectX, another '80s cheese-fest w/ Matthew Broderick?  WarGames is better, yards better.

I've actually been wondering a bit about this Champion Wrestling- but that write-up that WFY pulled up doesn't make it sound like much of a contender.  "Stick-waggling" brings one thing to mind- and it sure isn't playing video games.

Nat, WarGames is a friggin' classic. No joke. Fun, fun film. Give it a chance.

Project X rocks as well! They're both great :).
