Saturday Night Slam Masters (SNES, 1994)

The original Slam Masters is akin to a typical wrestling game, but it uses a perspective similar to that used in the fighting game genre. The game employs a three-button layout (grab, attack, and jump). Each character has two special attacks: one that is not a grappling technique and one that is a finisher. When an opponent's life meter runs out, he must be pinned for a three-count or forced to submit. Defeating all of the other wrestlers earns you the title belt, which you must defend against the whole roster.

There are two game modes: Single Match, in which the player competes in a series of one-on-one battles against the CPU, and Team Battle Royale, in which the player and another partner (controlled by another player or the CPU) engage in a series of two-on-two matchups. Up to four people can participate in the game.
