    Next game:

    WWF SUPERSTARS, 1989 Technos

    Wonderful arcade wrestling game (one of my personal favorites) with several top names in the world of pro wrestling-- Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Big Boss Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, The Ultimate Warrior, Andre The Giant, The Honky Tonk Man and The Million Dollar Man.  The character sprites are very similar to the look of Technos' later THE COMBATRIBES.

    I think I first saw this at Funland at the Oregon coast.

    Wow, I saw it in so many places I actually am not sure where I first saw it! I want to say it might have been in a Pizza Hut in Nashville..? I remember it in just about every place that had games, at one point.

     

    I found that one of the keys to getting farther in the game was to try to avoid using Nitro's as much as possible. As soon as you use a Nitro, in the next race all the CPU opponents are going Nitro crazy. If you hold off on using them, they will too. But of course, they are cheap compared to most of the other upgrades.

    Yeah, the good times to use it are on ramps or straightaways.  And it's good to get good tires early on so you can make those tight turns after a boost.  It seems as long as you don't hit a wall after a boost you can still stay at a high speed for a little while.  Or that's been my experience at least.  I'm no master at this game by any means.

    IRONMAN IVAN STEWART'S SUPER OFF ROAD, 1989 Leland Corp.

     

    Fun overhead racing game featuring the 7-time SCORE International Driver of the Year Ivan Stewart and up to 3 other drivers trying to beat his grey truck in a race of 4 laps on a fixed screen track filled with potholes, jumps, bumps, and water traps.  Upgrade your truck after a race at the "Speed Shop" with better tires, shocks, acceleration, top speed, and best of all, NITROS that give you a big speed boost.  Extra money (used towards the Speed Shop purchases) and extra nitros can be grabbed from icons appearing on the track intermittently.  7 different tracks, and a ROM upgrade kit called IISSOR "Track Pak" has more tracks.  I believe I first saw this at an Oregon coast arcade (still in operation).  I cracked up at the super busty models in the (naturally) skimpiest of bikinis in this game.

    ^ Glad to do that for you, Anthony.  You may be interested to know I'm about to start my 1989 "20 From" series and though I obviously won't have NEO GEO games for that series, you'll probably find plenty to like with my usual time capsules, the first of which is coming up soon on my YouTube channel!
