mike b Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Ok here is a new one. What other wrestling simulator games have you played besides TEW or even any sports simulator games(basketball,football,ect) and what do you think of them. The good the bad and the ugly.

Hyde Hill Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 the championship/football manager series. Can't really compare as they are both good in their own way and champ/football has a much bigger company and crew behind it.

Only the WMMA and TEW series (as well as Wrespir), far as I know anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanendp Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I've played a fair few sims, when there was a "boom" of freeware wrestling sims i think i tried them all, PW, 5GWS, EWR, the German one that got alot of critisism, forget it's name now, then of course it moved onto TEW, WreSpi and tried WMMA but never bought it :( Played the Champ Man series before the Eidos/SI split, then continued with both until finally just moving onto Footy Man solely. Played Hollywood Mogul i think it's called, didn't really egt far with it though, played alot of TV sims, basketball, boxing etc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 football manager has wasted more of my life than, well than just about anything - awesome game! Used to be a big champman fan too, before the split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklefurball Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Some of the classic sims are still available.

There is no difference!) I was obsessed with these games, omg lol It's kinda sad how the wrestling freeware simulator industry just completely disappeared. Check out some of the old QBasic games if you can find them, Socko's WWF Sim, tons and tons of match simulators and lots more. They're so simple and fun.

infinitywpi Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I had fun with Hollywood Mogul before I realized I was just playing a spreadsheet... unlike the Cornellverse, it failed to get a 'personality' to the data it provided. Altho I do like that my fictional biography of Abraham Lincoln didn't do very well in the US but was an international blockbuster. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 And if you want to leave the world of sports behind, you can track down UFO: Enemy Unknown, Colonisation, or Transport Tycoon at your friendly neighbourhood abandonware site :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien activity sites? [I]Lobstermen?[/I] Terrain-limited weaponry? [I][B]LOBSTERMEN?[/B][/I]) was then ramped up by an added 20% over normal (and 50% over beginner).

Nope... Now, I can romp through UFO on the harder difficulty levels. I can wipe out alien bases with my eyes closed. I can even make a decent fist of TFTD - but as soon as the game decides to start deploying near-invulnerable bad guys who can use the best guns in the game without breaking a sweat - and all you have to combat them is a cattle prod and a woefully inaccurate stun gun that may - or may not - knock them out on first hit...

Enemy Unknown is sooooooo easy! And as for Lobstermen - they are simple to beat - its called mind control. On the other hand - mind control is what makes the tasoths so bloody difficult! And as for those annoying tentaculats at the synomium sites - don't even get me started - I hate the buggers! :p - one gets you and you've then got THREE creatures to kill!

James Casey Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I think this is the thing. For me, TFTD wasn't a better game than UFO - the designers just made the enemies more difficult to kill. I know that in UFO you could have Heavy Plasma and Blaster Launchers inside two months if you worked hard, and that depowering the weapons (and, as noted, making the bad guys stronger) made the game harder... But it's not intelligent design - just like playing my guitar loudly makes me better than someone who can play it well :p And as for the synomium sites... Randomly stick forty aliens down within spitting distance of your ship. Thanks. For. That... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remianen Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 The aforementioned Hollywood Mogul (which I love to death. I make billions in profit a year on the highest difficulty once I figure out what genre is hot - which changes from game to game). [URL="http://www.positech.co.uk/"]Kudos, Kudos: Rock Legend, and Democracy 2[/URL] are the main ones I play. I freakin' hate practicing in Rock Legend but the game's moddability allows me to skip it (or do it very rarely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Casey got any idea if there are patches for the UFO enemy unknown bug? Or is it solved in the gold edition? I couldnt find the gold one on abandonware only the normal one and don't want to be stuck on beginner or not be able to turn of my pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
