About Basic Championship Wrestling

Platform: NES
Developer: Chris Dietrich (original game); Shiru (NES version)
Year: 2016
Genre: Sports
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

Chris Dietrich's text-mode wrestling game, first written in QBasic, where you pick moves from a menu instead of fighting in real time.

The ring and wrestlers are drawn in text characters. You play the fan favourite against a computer heel, and each of you starts with 20 health. Choosing a move, from a DDT or piledriver to a Boston crab, works like a turn-based RPG battle, and the exchanges play out a little like rock-paper-scissors. The heel has dirty tricks you cannot use, such as a trash can.

The NES version came out in 2017, published by Rigg'd Games and Pacnsac Games.
