Tag Team Wrestling

Tag Team Wrestling for Nintendo NES is just awful.  And I hate to say that of any game, but there is no other way to describe it.  If there was ever a low point in the history of Data East, this game has to be it.

It's pretty embarrassing.  From the title screen press "Start" then you'll immediately hear "Ding!" and the match begins.  The characters barely look like wrestlers, and the fact that they have two frames of animation (which is limited to moving legs) doesn't help any.

Half of the time I couldn't decribe to you what was happening on the screen.  Seriously, concentrate on the screenshot.  Where does one wrestler begin and the other one end?  Why does the audience look like zombies?  Actually it just looks like a bunch of heads on the floor.

There is at least one redeeming thing about this game and it's the box art.  It reminds me alot of early Atari box art where a professional artist actually took the time to create something that captured the mood that the publisher wanted to convey in the game.  It's just a shame that the game doesn't have the energy that the box has.
