Action Arcade Wrestling - home stretch

Well, I think I’m nearing the end of the road. Gosh I’ve been making self-taught wrestling games since I was a kid. I remember the first was a game made in BASIC. I’d actually have to get grid paper, use colored pencil to draw the graphics, and then program each frame into the computer. Color Red, Left 2, up 1, color green, right 2, etc. Unbelievable.
