10. Tag Team Wrestling

In 1985, Data East decided to take advantage of the growing wrestling craze sweeping the nation. Game play was easy: You control a pair of wrestlers, Jocko and Spike, and you must defeat your evil foe The Mad Maulers. Only one of your men fights at a time, the other rests and gets ready to jump in to relieve his partner.

The graphics were quite good for the period, making moves such as the Body Slam, the Drop Kick and the Piledriver believable.
