These videos legit make me wanna cry lol I just remember sitting there in front of the TV for hourssss playing this with my brothers and cousins every weekend at my grandmothers house. As a die hard wwf fan as a kid these games really were a dream come true lol
@@jonathanwashington3065 all the finishers were correct. Shawn Michaels was using a teardrop/slingshot suplex before he started using Sweet Chin Music.
I used to love this style of WWF games. I didn’t play this one, but I had royal rumble. There was something so satisfying about doing Lex Lugers forearm 😂 the smacking sound followed by your opponent flying was great
Always hoped someone would mod this, all the Royal Rumble characters and all the RAW characters into 1 game. Probably just can't happen but would be so cool.
I'm pretty sure there are 30 different characters between the 3 games and the different consoles they were on. You got 20 characters in this game. Plus Hogan, Flair, Duggan, and Papa Shango from Royal Rumble is 24. Diesel, Owen, Luna, Doink, and 123 Kid from Raw is 29. And Kwang from the 32x version of Raw is 30.
Yeah, a massive one of 20 wrestlers. Trouble is, they had two match options. You could have a single, or a single in a cage and that was it. What idiot made that decision whilst simultaneously having the Nasty Boys, Money Inc and The Headshrinkers in the game, I don't know. I also thought it was idiotic not having Perfect and Yokozuna's finishers not having a pin mechanic incorporated into them. That was a feature of WWF arcade games as far back as Wrestlefest in 1990, so there was no excuse for it not being here. Or a submission mechanic for the sharpshooter.
I wish someone would rom hack one of these style of wrestling games (Super WrestleMania, Royal Rumbe, Rage in the Cage or Raw) to make current wrestlers. I'd love to see how some modern wrestlers would look in this style.
I would love if someone made a WWF game that featured everyone from every 16 bit LJN game and had the steel cage in it + Royal Rumble and Survivor Series. Imagine.... Ultimate Warrior Hogan Macho Man Ric Flair Mr Perfect Undertaker Brett Hart Owen Hart British Bulldog IRS Papa Shango Ted DiBiase Fatu Samu Jerry Sags BRyan Knobbs Boss Man Rick Martel Lex Luger Kamala Razor Ramon Diesel Doink Bam Bam Bigelow Tatanka Hacksaw Jim Duggan Yokozuna Jake The Snake Crush Hawk Animal Psycho Sid EarthQuake Typhoon 1,2,3 Kid Imagine a Royal Rumble with that roster. The game would randomly select 5 wrestlers on the roster to not participate as it would have 35 wrestlers in total. Why hasn't anyone done this yet? I would play the fuck out of that on SNES or Genesis if it could even be put on a cart. I would buy a Sega CD just for this game if it had to be made on that.
Awesome idea, but two problems. Animal sued the WWE, so they most likely won't do business with him again. Owen Hart will almost certainly NEVER be on any new WWE product. The best we can hope for is a new non WWE Legends game or Firepro Wrestling World :-)
@@jamesbyersmusic Thats why you get talented fans and do it anyway. Who said anything about taking this the official route? Rip the guys from every game and put them in one.
The game gear version of raw had those rules in the one fall matches. Bret's sharpshooter finished the opponent when no life energy was in the bar. Yokozuna's banzai drop had a count while he was still on his opponents chest and the guy could still kick out.
Ironically Raw had only one submission finisher (sharpshooter) lol while this and Royal Rumble had a good variety. It’s why I always used a brawl mode back then for all matches that had a submission wrestler, it made it a bit more realistic. Lack of auto pins for perfect plex and banzai drop sucked as well.
He didn’t drop it immediately even after the new gimmick though; he still used the elbow smash around this era as “made in the USA” until around wrestlemania X or so I think before going back to the torture rack full time.
Only negative is I wish they added doink to this roster. Also warrior and flair, and Shango. You think they would do this being all those superstars were in other wwf games like wrestlemania. Any of you ever play the arcade meme version of wwf? It's freaking awesome
Could have added Ric Flair, Doink, Desil, Hacksaw Duggan, Ultimate Warrior, Brittish Bulldog, Rick Martel, Jake the Snake, Sid Justice, Hawk, Animal, Hogan. 1,2,3, Kid, Owen Hart, Earthquake, Typhoon, Luna Vachon. Well Basically ALL of the Superstars that had been on all versions and Platforms.
There were multiple NES wrestling games that let you pin or submit your opponent with a finishing move, this was just a classic case of LJN being awful.
This video just appeared in my recommended feed randomly and I'm glad it did! I really wanted this game back in the day because of the cage match but did not own a Genesis nor Sega CD.
Trail Cysper Raw was thanksgiving weekend 1994 Rage in the Cage was Christmas 1993 Royal Rumble was summer of 1993 Super Wrestlemania was the week before Wrestlemania 8
As a kid was fortunate enough to have both Genesis and Super Nintendo and had both WWF games. Then I see this on Sega CD with the steel cage and the different roster members and it killed me not to have it. Didn't have the nerve to ask my parents for a 3rd system for just one game that is almost completely similar. Still every time I saw it at Toys R' Us along with Sega CD it was painful lol wondered how it was for years.
I think so. I never played this one but I had royal rumble- and yea, pretty much you’re right. All they did was added the cage match and some new characters.
The wrestler animations and game graphics are a surprising boost over the Genesis versions of these games. Most Sega CD games were just lifted Genny games with enhanced audio.
I disagree; the graphics/animations for Rage In The Cage are largely lifted from the Genesis Royal Rumble, with the addition of the SNES' Royal Rumble's soundtrack (in slightly downgraded form) and SFX plus exclusive characters.
hunter371 The audio and animations are near identical to the SNES version (the SNES sound was slightly better actually). They also removed the tag team mode which the SNES Royal Rumble game had.
Wrestling movesets have come a long way since this game was released. Most of the finishers on this list are simple, and would be used as transitional moves in today's wrestling. The only finishers on this list that are still viable finishers are the Razor's Edge and Tombstone Piledriver.
Wasnt man, this was the home console version. This is the WWF Wrestlefest game ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--2ak_BjxKZo.html&ab_channel=WorldofLongplays
Man Sculptured Software were lazy as F#CK when developing WWF games. Rage in the Cage, Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble, Raw, Steel Cage Challenge, Superstars 2 were the same game just different roster of character's for most of them.
I loved this game. The only thing I didn’t like was there were no tag matches. You couldn’t have The Nasty Boys, The Headshrinkers, and Money Inc. in any tag team matches.
Such a huge roster but only 1-on-1 matches available. I so wanted this game as a kid (I only had the SNES games), but now playing it as an adult, it really hasn't aged well. The matches are just button mashers. And all the wrestlers are exactly the same with the same moves except for finishers. WWF Raw did give them different moves and characteristics.
best part of this game was the real footage and entrance themes made possible from the use of CD technology...other than that this game was terrible. just like nearly every game on the sega CD.
When I was in the Army me and a bunch of buddies had a virtual WWF. We had our wrestlers we would control go for titles, etc. I used to troll my friends hard when I had the belt, I would let them totally dominate me in the match and then I would get myself counted out on purpose. I would do it every time till they demanded a cage match lol.
