WWF Superstars (1989). Play Free Online

Summary

WWF Superstars hits the arcade cabinets with an addictive tag‑team showdown that feels straight out of a late‑80s wrestling telecast. You pick two icons—Hulk Hogan, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior, Big Boss Man, Jim Duggan or Honky Tonk Man—and they bolt onto the arena in the classic WrestleMania‑III/VI ring cart. The grapple system lets you toss, fling to the ropes or lock heads for wrestler‑specific combos, while standing strikes, running attacks and top‑rope moves round out the play‑by‑play action. Beyond the ropes you can grab a table or a folding chair for extra chaos, though the referee stays out of harm’s way and any weapon stays out of the ring. After three victories the final showdown pits you against the Mega Bucks—Ted DiBiase and André the Giant—with only Honky Tonk’s noogie and Big Boss Man’s headbutt able to lift the giant. Arcade logs show it was Japan’s third‑most successful table unit in November ’89 and topped North America’s conversion‑kit chart in early 1990, confirming why the title still sparks nostalgia.

Storyline

WWF Superstars (arcade) puts you in the role of a tag‑team wrestler battling through a televised tournament. Before each bout your selected duo rolls onto the mat in the iconic ring‑cart that debuted at WrestleMania III and VI, while commentators Mean Gene Okerlund and Miss Elizabeth hype the action. Cut‑scenes introduce the Mega Bucks—Ted “The Million Dollar Man” DiBiase and André the Giant—along with their manager Virgil.
After winning three preliminary matches you earn a title shot against the Mega Bucks; a victorious finish triggers a newspaper headline proclaiming your team the new champions. The game then sends you to a second city for three more contests, including another showdown with DiBiase, and ends with a final bout against DiBiase and André before the credits roll.
