Personal review

The first-ever WCW game, which is an altered version of the Japanese game Superstar ProWrestling and is argued to be one of the best wrestling games for the NES. Play as any of your favorites from the early days of WCW, including Ric Flair, Sting, and the Road Warriors. World Championship Wrestling is first game released in the U.S. to implement a 'finishing move' that can only be used when your opponent is weakened (although the concept of a 'specialty' move had been around since at least Pro Wrestling on the NES). However, the computer is notoriously difficult to play against, even on the first opponent. The graphics aren't much to speak of, either.
