WWF Royal Rumble [Sega Mega Drive]

WWF Royal Rumble is a Super NES and Sega Genesis game based on the World Wrestling Federation, released in 1993. It is the sequel to LJN's previous 16-bit WWF game, WWF Super WrestleMania, and is considered by many as the second part of a trilogy (followed by WWF Raw). It carries over the "tug-of-war" style grappling system from the previous game, this time adding an on-screen meter to show who has the advantage in a grapple and how close they are to executing a move. Players may strike their opponent with steel chairs found outside the ring. After knocking the referee temporarily unconscious, one may use illegal tactics such as choking and eye raking. To better avoid losing via count out, wrestlers may also roll into the ring from the bottom side; ring entry was previously only possible through the left and right sides. In addition adding more moves to the basic moveset (including the body splash, knee drop, backbreaker, and atomic drop), WWF Royal Rumble includes signature finishing moves for each wrestler.

The SNES and Genesis versions were released three months apart, with each version having several exclusive wrestlers.

The two versions share seven wrestlers: Bret Hart, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Randy Savage, Crush, and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. The five remaining members of the roster differ between versions.

The SNES version features Ric Flair (who had left the WWF back in February to return to World Championship Wrestling (WCW)), Mr. Perfect, Ted DiBiase, Yokozuna, and Tatanka.

The Genesis version replaces them with Hulk Hogan, IRS, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, "The Model" Rick Martel and Papa Shango.
