Actually; since I never read the game manuals as a child; I never knew about that awkward menu system until I watched this review.

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 26 September 2014, 02:00Crapper Sean Bateman writes: Twenty Five years ago on September 26 of 1992, Bill Watts recinded his Over The Top DQ, a dumb rule mind you, and swapped it with this POS rule. Hey, what better way to get viewers interesting and excited about your product than to bog it down with a bunch of nonsensical and confusing rules that don’t Continue Reading...

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 21 September 2014, 02:00From the old WWF Tuesday Night Titans show in 1985; Hulk Hogan rambles on and on about his stupid sweat-stained weightlifting belt (much to Vince’s amusing disgust)… But forget that noise!

14 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 15 September 2014, 17:00Um, Bill? Buddy? That isn’t how you get the soda machine to give you a Surge. You have to put those funny little round metal things into it (or a piece of rectangular paper with the old dude on it), and then press a button. Then you’ll get an ice cold, delicious Surge(™) soft drink. Don’t worry, you’ll figure it Continue Reading...
