Item Description

Late 1998 was the height of the Monday Night Wars, and WCW was riding the nWo storyline for everything it was worth. WCW/nWo Thunder captures that moment in all its chaos. Named after WCW's Thursday-night show and released on the PlayStation in January 1999, it crams more than sixty wrestlers onto one disc: Goldberg, Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page, Sting, Bret Hart, Randy Savage, The Giant, Chris Jericho, Raven, Rowdy Roddy Piper and plenty more from the era's sprawling roster.

The best idea here is factions. You can decide which stable each wrestler fights for, splitting the roster among WCW, nWo Hollywood, nWo Wolfpac, Raven's Flock and the Four Horsemen, which is about as close as a game of the day came to booking your own storylines. Thunder also added cage matches, battle royals and weapon shots to the formula of its predecessor, WCW Nitro, and every wrestler gets a full-screen entrance with theme music while Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay call the action. Between matches, video clips of the wrestlers trash-talking into the camera keep the late-'90s attitude turned up.

Critics were not kind, faulting the visuals and an easy difficulty that felt too close to Nitro, yet the game sold around a million copies anyway, because fans wanted their WCW. Today that is precisely its charm: a loud, pick-up-and-play time capsule of the nWo years, ideal for split-screen matches with a friend and for anyone who remembers choosing sides between the black-and-white and the red-and-black.
