mike b Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 ok here is a link to another pro wrestling simulator game that i found on the net,TNM7.com Now before any of you start thinking I'm trying to get you away from tew I'm not,i just want to hear what you think of this game. Its a whole diff style compared to tew(plus it costs way more) and the one thing that really surprised me the most was that the WWE has not tried to shut them down yet?? I mean not only do you use the images of current WWE wrestlers but you also can download that wrestlers theme music to use when you are using that wrestler and also these wrestlers and there images are not created by people (mods) as add ons for the game but by the game makers themselves. Plus it look like it would take up a lot of space on yr hard drive. This is one game i found while looking for a pro wrestling simulator on the net before i found out about TEW. To me TEW is still the best pro wrestling simulator game around just wanted to see what anyone else has to say about this game. Oh and one more thing unlike TEW in this game you have to download what wrestlers you want to use in your game individually:( to me that kinda sucks the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Gadzinski Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yeah I've heard of that game before, but I'm never going to download it. It looks like crap compared to TEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordprimeau25 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yea I really don't like that game. Actually, I would play EWR over that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappyboy Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Old news. REALLY old news. TNM was my first foray into wrestling simulators and while it was fun a dozen years ago, it looks positively bush league now compared to TEW. Somebody else with a long wrestling sim history correct me if I'm wrong. But didn't the initial release of TNM 7 here come like eight years ago? That's a lifetime or two in computer terms.

Destiny Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 TEW seems as if it has become the daddy of wrestling siulators. I doubt that game could surpass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think a lot of people are aware of it, its very different from TEW, is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 How is it different? Is it different in that it's not as deep a game or can you only play as WWE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklefurball Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 It feels very dos-based and nostalgic and it's not completely a simulation of running wrestling companies as it is a sim of making matches.

I've seen it used for that many times over the years. Solid program for what it does. But wrestling simulators are so far beyond this now as far as the game aspect goes.

That's a lifetime or two in computer terms.[/QUOTE] Indeed, actaully it was more than 8 years ago because I was living in Providence, RI when I used to play it and I moved from there before 2000. It was cool, and I definately got my money worth. Great tool for E-fed users, especially. I always liked how it kept a win/loss record of your workers and you'd see unbooked outside interference in the results from time to time. But it lacks a 'game world', you run your promotion anyway you want with no competition as no other promotions exist and you do not have any budget restraints, pretty much the only obstacle to being a GM is workers quitting the company but that can be overrided by easter-eggs.

hurricanendp Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 It always amazes me that when freeware wrestling sims are talked about, 5GWS is never mentioned. TMN though, i only tried a demo of and couldn't really get around everything, EWR was the first i played then i went through everything that was around at the time like PW, Zeus even some little ones that had never really been finished, but TEW was always a class above.

cyberkitten01 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I enjoyed TNM at the time, as it gave text-based line-by-line play-by-play, and could at times be quite boring but sometimes got really dramatic. All my CAWs were in there, and you could create your own match environments and events, like if they're in room B there's a 5% chance this will happen and cause this much damage, it was cool. But again that was a long time ago and it hasn't updated at all. It was a match simulator rather than a booking simulator I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capelli King Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 yeah, that one is old news. Played it a few years back, pretty useless in comparisson to TEW though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitywpi Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 So, on the front page of the forum, I saw this as the top thread in this topic... there was a purple frowny-sad-face and the words 'Another pro wrestling...'. I was wondering who died this time... kinda glad it's just a thread about a years-and-years old pale version of EWR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats that? Not heard of that one. Promotion wars was good for what it was and the guy who made it, Adam Jennings, was always friendly to me. But then i got a pleasant reply from every email i ever sent Adam Ryland too! There were a couple of sims that looked like they might end up being good but then died a death - Head2head wrestling springs to mind. Plus more recently a group called stone monkey software was working on something that never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 TNM is a great game, but it's more of a sim than an actual manager game, which TEW is. I've had TNM since probably about 10 years ago and still go back to it occasionally. It's really good for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanendp Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 5GWS was a very buggy game when it first came out, it's very in depth, things like booking tours/venues etc, sorting merchandise out, having the options to book celebrities etc, it still does hold a couple bugs but not game threatening. The only thing that it has wrong with it is the editor, although te creator is making a version 2 with a more "TEW Style" editor, there is a new editor in development for v1 made by one of the other admins. I'd give you a link to the site/forum but i don't want to upset anyone here, if you want it, PM me or hit me up on msn if you've still got me on your contact list.

nik6241 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 My P.O.S computers could never really handle TNM or any of the other sims back then. My first love was Promotion Wars. I played that game to death. I couldn't get EW to work right on my systems until EW 5000 or EW 9000, I don't remember which. But, even when it did work right, I was never enamored by it. EWD was the same way for me. OK, when it worked, but still not my first choice. Then EWR came out and I never looked at another sim again. I followed Adam to .400studios and then here to greydog and I still have copies of Total Extreme Warfare 2004 (though I need a new eLicense ID since I let a friend attempt to play my copy on his PC and now I can't play it myself) as well as Total Extreme Wrestling 2005, 2007, and 2008. I will continue to follow the TEW series--and I even tried the WMMA demo and the Fighting/Wrestling Spirit demos--but they weren't really my cup of tea. To me, TEW is the be-all-end-all to wrestling simulators and, while I will give other games a shot, I don't think anything will come close to TEW and the depth of game play and replayability this game has.

Destiny Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I never played EWR, or anything like it. The first TEW I played was 2004 over at 400, but I was hooked from then onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 first post on my iPhone so apologies for any grammar weirdness PW was great back in the day - I even wrote a mod for it based on 95 real life that was fun to play. Head 2 head was the great White hope, right? PW/EWR with a very attractive interface. Shame it never went anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
