- In 1987 the world saw the release of the the very first WWF (now WWE) licensed video game. It was developed for Commodore 64 and Atari ST by Micro League Sports Association as part of their ongoing MicroLeague sports series and the title of the game was “MicroLeague Wrestling”.
We won't go into any details about this particular game, but believe or not, the gameplay in MicroLeague Wrestling involves turn-based strategy. You can see this unique way of practice Wrestling with this link:

Two years later WWF signed a contract with Acclaim Entertainment to start producing games featuring the WWF brand.
The first game - WWF WrestleMania - was developed by Rare Ltd (yes, the developer behind Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie) and released in January of 1989.
The partnership between WWF and Acclaim Entertainment would last until 1999. The very last game Acclaim Entertainment produced for the WWF brand was WWF Attitude for Dreamcast, N64 and PlayStation. WWF unexpectedly defected to THQ in late 1999 after Acclaim's WWF titles suffered from failing sales while THQ had huge success with their World Championship Wrestling games.
THQ continued to produce games for the WWF/WWE until the end of 2012 when they went bankrupt and sold the WWE rights to Take-Two Interactive. Take-Two Interactive immediately started up the WWE 2K series that's very much alive at the time of writing.
So what about WWF Attitude for the Dreamcast? Well, it was ported (yes, ported) a couple of months later after the N64 and PlayStation versions but it was slightly enhanced, featuring improved graphics, higher-resolution texture maps and a better animated, less pixelated crowd.
WWF Attitude is more or less an expansion of WWF War Zone for that was released on PlayStation and N64 in 1998. In fact, The engine that was developed by Acclaim Entertainment for WWF War Zone would be reused for the three follow-up games - WWF Attitude, ECW Hardcore Revolution and ECW Anarchy Rulz.
Players can either kick or punch opponents or execute wrestling maneuvers by grappling and then entering a combination of button presses. These button combinations aren't that complicated, but they are many and sometimes hard to remember.
WWF Attitude also features a lot of different Match Types. They are too many (and have too unclear titles to be self explanatory) to write them all here. We recommend that, if you are interested, read about them all using this link:

WWF Attitude was received fairly well by critics and have 8.3/10 from IGN, 8.1/10 from GameSpot and 9/10 from GameInformer. But it has also seen its fair share of negative reviews.
The negatives came from the issue of that WWF Attitude is a port from the N64/Playstation version (that itself is an updated version of WWF War Zone). The arenas look kind of bland, the character models and textures look kind of wonky and there are noticeable clipping errors.
Also, the game could crash if the matches went on too long. This can actually be seen in the above video.
Please note!
The video above is a censored version of our original recording.
Our original, raw recording of our WWF Attitude gameplay had a copyright strike from WWE. They flagged imagry used in cutscenes throughout the game and blocked the game world wide. We appealed this decision and stated that it was used under Fair Use (since it was a natural and integrated part of the video game), but WWE declined.
Therefore, we had to cut the flagged part out of the recording.
So because of this we end this history lesson with these words; So thanks, WWE representatives. Thanks for ruining the documentation of this game.
I remembered this game!
Not the best, however, SEGA DREAMCAST provided so many hours of fun growing up! I'd play this all day & night!
I remember all my friends had ps1 or N64 i was the ONLY person with a dreamcast and they all made fun off me,
They came round the play this and they were blown away by the graphics we have to remember in 1999 the dreamcast had amazing graphics maybe on par with ps2 .
Everyone else had smackdown or no mercy not me haha
Did you have the Royal Rumble arcade game?
@@YTWarrior100 yea such a shame dreamcast didn't last honestly for late 90s was Purley amazing graphics.
Soon as the magazine front cover with new PS2 came along was game over no pun intended ha
@@danbruno5945 Well following the failures of the CD and 32X add-ons for the Genesis, as well as the Saturn, the Dreamcast was pretty much doomed from the start. This was Sega's last console for a reason.
i never knew this came out on dreamcast
@@YTWarrior100 part of me thought they would come back strong especially when I first ever saw the dreamcast.
And here we are in 2021 and I can't find a PS5 on shelfs yet haha
I only remember this because i would see my older brother play this when i was a kid
This port is looks so amazing
It was
@@dilloncompton6102 I ever when I was a kid when I watched Attitude Era of course.
Attitude had way more options but WarZone had one of the best commentators in any wrestling game to this day. Vince and J.R. sound great and natural and had a tone of lines in WarZone. Attitudes had King and Shane and they pale in comparison to WarZone.
Also, WarZone had way more moves per character. You could input any teo directions + face button and you would bust a move, this was not the case in Attitude.
As an avid Mortal Kombat player, I enjoyed both WarZone and Attitude and had no problems with executing moves. I think I like WarZone just a bit more.
Hated the mortal kombat like combinations as a young kid at the time made it almost impossible to win
I like the way he pushed him away after choking him out😭
all they did was take warzone and added attitude to it and for some reason it was better
Entrances, tag team moves, different rings/arenas for different events, a calendar you went through to rise through the ranks and become WWF champion, a way bigger roster.
It wasn't better, it was slow-paced and clunky as hell.
They added way more characters and a lot of other stuff but okay
I love the PSX version better I grew up with WWF Attitude PSX back in 1999
They all walk like they’re about to wrestle their 3rd iron man match in a row 😂😂 especially scsa
J Rs commentary is ledge
Man, the days before Yukes Interactive were brutal.
Not really
What's the name of the first track after the WWF signature?
Can believe I played this shit
he's got him down kick him lol
can u unlock a refree in this game?
No.
Noooooo😢
the game was a little bit on the janky side, but holy fuck was it fun.
What's the copyright thing about exactly?
Looks like no blood ?
Could u do a career mode as Kane please
