Title Match Pro Wrestling is a sports game that was also released on the Atari 2600 (1987).
+ Strength bar attempts to thwart button mashing by making you think more methodically to beat fellow competitors.
- However, the cheap path is to simply kick repeatedly when at full strength and then slam your foe for a very quick pin.
- Move-set is bizarre, as it excludes many customary and expected attacks such as clotheslines, suplexes and dropkicks.
- While there's four characters, their attacks and abilities are exactly the same which defeats the purpose of a wrestling game.
- Only single matches are available, which is puzzling when there's three other viable opponents to battle against.
- Some of the animations are atrocious, particularly the Airplane Spin which looks more like ballroom dancing!
