Behold the first computer pro wrestling game I ever played – BOP ‘N WRESTLE on the Atari 800! Now technically, it was the Atari 1200XL, but you get the drift. Looking back, I had no memory of the graphics being quite this horrible. I remember it was slow as molasses, as with every move the disk drive was grinding gears as if it were going through a horrible stress test. I remember buying this at Children’s Palace (anyone remember those?) and thinking I’d discovered a holy grail, as I had never, ever seen this for the Atari, only the Commodore 64. Unfortunately Atari Age wasn’t around to warn me with its 1.2/10 rating back then!
And apologies for the lack of a SQUASH this week, we are in go mode getting RD Jr. heading to college over the next week, so the schedule is more than a little out of whack. 😉
