    Overview

    Ring Rage is a belt-scrolling professional wrestling game developed and released by Taito for arcades (using Taito F3 System hardware) in 1992.

    One of the earliest wrestling games to include digitized actors (similar to Pit-Fighter and Guardians of the 'Hood), Ring Rage feature four-player wrestling matches (both tag-team and free-for-all). It also includes some over-the-top elements, such as weapons and special moves, and also includes an "buy-in" feature where players can spend credits to restore their vitality (similar to Tao Taido).

    It later received a handheld port for the Game Boy in Japan on January 29, 1993. This version restricts the game to one-on-one fights while removing Battle Royal mode. It was later released in North America by Natsume on April 1998.

    Game Modes

    In all modes, players can join-in to take control of a computer player (ally or opponent).

    • Tournament - The game's main campaign mode, as a team must win four tag-team matches to fight a single "Champ Match" against final boss team Spike & Knuckle. It utilizes two different arenas: "Normal" and "Steel Cage" (the latter having tall cage walls that prevent players from entering/exiting the arena, bouncing off the ropes, and receiving weapons). In "Champ Match", players cannot continue or join-in on the boss team.
    • Battle Royal - A single free-for-all match where eight combatants fight to become the last man standing. No more than four combatants fight at one time, and the game ends prematurely when all human players are defeated. The match takes place in one of two unique arenas that take place outside of the ring: "Steel" (which has ropes on the left and right, and the stage is surrounded by a pit) or "Street" (which has crates that can be used as weapons).
    • Extra Match - A single tag-team match split into rounds (with a best-of-three system). It uses the same arenas as Tournament mode.
