Play Saturday Night Slam Masters Online

Saturday Night Slam Masters came out on the Sega Genesis in 1994, a Capcom game that fit right in with the era's love for over the top arcade brawlers. It was a time when you just wanted to pick up a controller and jump into something loud and immediate, and this game delivered exactly that without a lot of fuss.

You control one of several pro wrestlers, each with their own special moves, and your main goal is to simply win matches by pinning your opponent or throwing them out of the ring. The signature mechanics are the wild weapons that appear, like steel chairs and barbed wire bats, and the ability to perform super moves when your power meter is full. The pacing is fast and the difficulty can spike, especially when the computer decides to gang up on you. It feels like a controlled riot, a satisfying mess of flying bodies and flashy finishers.
