Remember this game? A while back I came across a boxed compilation that included the instructions for the game.....I thought it would be fun to post a pic to show what the actual wrestler's names were (i.e. LA Bob is the Village People look-alike LOL) Note: I can provide scans of the other pages, if a section exists somewhere (this site?) for instructions.

most excellent game. Mindscape sure made some cool games for the 8-bits (The Halley Project still one of my favorites)

This was a Beam Software production (them of Exploding Fist and Hobbit) but before Andrew "Qb" Davie joined, who would do Street Hassle for them.

I believe that this was possibly released for the Amiga or Atari ST, however I've never seen anyone mention these versions. It would be neat to see this game with updated graphics but similar game play.

I can still distinctly remember the music from this game, which was catchy and humorous with a sweet banjo solo right in the middle.
The piledriver to top rope slam was my signature move in this game.
Great game!
Edit - There was a psuedo sequel to this game, Bop 'N...something. I think it played more like a beat em up?

Am I looking at it wrong, or is Bad Barney Trouble a guy in blackface?

No, it's a mask.

Bop 'N Rumble, I believe.

Yeah, if you look at the small screen shot in the first post, he's the guy in the green mask (the game was somewhat limited graphics wise LOL)

Bop 'N Rumble, I believe.
Bop 'n Rumble = Street Hassle, no idea why they kept changing the names in the US ;)

Also Bad Street Brawler on the NES - quite possibly one of the the worst NES games ever.

Ah another game with the dubious distinction of having three different names around the world (alongside Nebulus/Tower Toppler/Castelian).
