Mat Mania Challenge is a wrestling game that was originally released in the Arcade in 1985.
+ Graphics are competent with an expressive crowd to boost personality, and the in-ring referee is a nifty touch.
- Options are basic with only one playable character (that's palette swapped), no Championship mode or tag-team matches.
- Zero special moves, and while your opponent's life bar isn't visible spamming the punch button guarantees victory.
- No rhyme or reason as to who wins grappling battles, and collision problems result in clear hits doing no damage.
- Can only run in the direction you're facing, which stops you from gaining momentum or creating distance.
- Crude music adds nothing to the experience and sounds more like random Morse code than melodic tracks.
