I remember playing this the entire summer it released. My grandparents had a caravan on the east coast of England and the arcades there was massive. I was in the arcade the day this arrived and it blew my mind. I'd never seen anything so beautiful. I played it every day of that school summer holidays. Awesome memories.

This is my new favorite Arcade1Up! lol. Enjoy the vid!

I got happy for a second then got sad when it was homemade :( I would buy a wrestlefest in a heart beat.

WrestleFest was one of our all time played games in the Arcade...

I was really upset when I found out this wasn't a real thing. I saw this video's title and immediately tried to order one to no avail.

My favourite arcade game. After a fair bit of trial and error I got this working on my Super Nintendo Mini and it's fantastic. Highly recommended 👍 👍

Dude, yes. Your enthusiasm for this old school stuff, I grew up in 80’s too, is awesome. I used to love that arcade vibe when I was a kid and seeing you with a full game room is just amazing.

This is one of the coolest 1Up mods I’ve seen. Looks amazing

I still remember how wore out I would get from playing this game at a laundromat when I was a kid like it was yesterday.

My all time favorite arcade game, I had so much fun playing this. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪

I can’t count how many Pizzarias I played this at. Nostalgic and Epic!

Wow you killed it with the Wrestlefest Idea. 80s and 90s wrestling along with the 8bit and 16 bit gaming era bring the nostalgia on this to an all time high. This was work all the work that was put into it.

Used to play this at a “Sun Dome” hotel, remember those? Where it a pool and a garden dome that made all the hotel rooms humid. Oh the 90’s

Need to change the intro to “oh my god, it’s the big boss man!”

You had my curiosity, now you have my attention...🤯

Amazing! One of my favorite games as a kid plus it had one of my heroes in it: "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig. Had it as an emulator for a few years but that computer fried, LOL.

Damn that’s talent to make a homemade arcade!

Epic work from Rax on the plotting, the new arcade is a beauty.

Kudos to you guys for such amazing work on this cab. That makes me wonder what Wrestlemania The Arcade Game would be like for Arcade1up.

I actually have a WWF Superstars arcade machine in my living room. I've restored it and added a switcher so I could put in Wrestlefest. (which is what I play 99% of the time)

how did you do it?

You are getting better and better everytime i watch u keep up the good work been a fan for a long time thanks your videos uplift me truly the best youtuber yeah i said it long live RGT

I'm moist just seeing this beauty! I laugh when people say that No Mercy or SD: Here Comes The Pain are the best wrestling games ever. No other game has so perfectly captured the mood and energy of wrestling like WrestleFest does!

Man we're like the opposite. Final Fight was the last arcade game I ever got to play at Pizza Hut before they stopped putting cabinets in there (also used to play it on MAME and it ran so poorly) But I never got to play Wrestlefest in an arcade. A local Pocket Change had it but it never worked. I gotta agree with you on having way too many games in a multi cab, or a collection of roms. I never know what to play. When I make my own cabinet I'm definitely limiting the amount of games I have in it. Good video dude. That cabinet turned out great. They killed it with the artwork. It's so beautiful

I bought a 6 button custom deck for my pretty useless astroids cab. It was relatively inexpensive, I think $65. It came with a baby blue T molding and a nice thick textured astroids graphic already installed. So that's an option anyone stuck with a weird button layout or two buttons. Also the raspberry pi 4 is a beast of an emulation machine, so go with that over the 3!

Damn RGT. great work on that cabinet and great video man! Keep up the good work!!

Back in the the day this was one of my favorite arcades! This is when the roster was the best and I wish they could have double the amount of wrestlers from that time period and include more tag teams. Great work on the machine!!

Looks incredible!! Congratulations!

Brilliant. Your videos just make my day, everyday!

Awesome!! I was feeling the nostalgia. That was great

I won a arcade tournament at a bowling alley playing this game, got a trophy and a jar of stickers lol! I've always wanted to make a mod for the old school wrestling arcade, The Main Event. I think it was the first wrestling game with an announcer.

I used to love going to Milford amusement Center and then a little bit up the road they had a funcoland.Ahhh memories.I would love to go back to 1995 just for a day.

That looks so fucking sexy man, nice job! I'm not into modding the arcade1ups myself but I would definitely do it for games that I know will never be able to be released by them. This is definitely one of them.

Great job!!! Thanks for the vid.

Wrestle Fest was the ultimate video Arcade game back in late 90s and WrestleMania Arcade was sick tio

That cabinet looks awesome. Great job with the vid rgt! 👍

About time you did this

Dude that is sooo freakin' sweet! I've thought about mods but I would definitely pick one that I know for sure that Arcade1up won't (or can't) do. WWF Wrestlefest is definitely one they won't be able to do so good choice and the cabinet looks fucking sick! I also agree with you about putting excess games on a cabinet and it being overkill, not interested in having one cabinet with 8000 games. I grew up in the arcade so I want those multiple machines for nostalgia sake. I would love a SMASH TV cabinet, which I'm hopeful they'll do.

Awesome video man 👍🏾

Thanks for inviting me over to help you out with this. I'm going to have to mod mine now ha.

Perfect! Good call on limiting it to two button games keeps that classic vibe

Great job on the arcade mod!! Makes me wanna try to mod mine now.

Love it brodie I never knew you could do this to a 1up cabinet I've been seeing the nba jam one and it peaked my interest forsure

Man I miss this game wish it was on playstation/xbox consoles.

Dude! I wish I had your ingenuity! That looks great!

Hi - not sure if you’re still checking this site but I have a set up via a latte panda & retropie. I can’t seem to get the high scores to save. Have you been able to get them saved and if so, how? Thanks in advance

Love your cabinet bro! I just ordered an all in one arcade similar to pandora or whatever and the picked a wrestlefest logo and it looks amazing! Too bad I can’t post pics. But you have to trust me that it’s going to look amazing! Definitely think you would love it!

Bro! I freaking love your Grand Ma Ma shirt!!

where did you go for your game downloads. Like how did you know what 2 button games to get?

That's hard! I want 1 now! Great job

RGT 85, you legend!!! Nice work.

omfg nostalgia city!!!!!!!! this was my favorite game as a kid i always wished for this i pray i can get one of these

RGT, I modded my SF2, and the coin buttons, I ended up drilling the holes on the J panel in the front (under the control deck). That way, I didn't have to drill into the control panel itself, and if I ever sold mine (though I don't know why I would), replacing that panel and putting it back to stock is easy. Just buy a drill bit from harbor freight, measure 11" from the left and right sides, mark it, drill it out, and you're done. It'll take you 10 min tops. Awesome cab btw, this was the first game I booted when I modded mine as well. It's so damn nostalgic!

If you don't feel comfortable drilling in the j panel they make a pre drilled j panel for $10 that also comes with spots for mounting speakers also. I forgot what website I got mine on. But then I added buttons that look like the old coin buttons on arcades.

Oh my God! I was always at the Milford Amusement center!!! The changed the name to Smiles and eventually closed in 2013. Man, the memories!

Cabinet looks good. Nice work by you & your dudes.

I want a Cave shooter arcade machine with games like ESP Ra De spy, DoDonPachi etc... It would have to have a horizontal screen though

I loved everything about this game when I was a kid.

@RGT85 are you planning to get the Neo Geo Cabinet?

Loved this game back in the day. Spent many a day at my 7-11 playing this.

wow, I am so so jealous, damn that cabinet is so so sweet!

I would absolutely love to have something like that. Outstanding man!!

Help me out. Can the guys you recommend in the link build these for sale?

Use a spray bottle full of water and a small amount of dish soap or even Windex to lightly mist those panels before you lay those decals. I prefer Windex but it dries a lot faster so you have to work faster. After you mist the panel use a credit card wrapped with a microfiber cloth to slowly squeegee the decal on. If you get a bubble poke a hole in the center of it with a needle and then use the credit card to squeegee it flat. It will look like it came from the factory when your done. The dry method can be unforgiving if your not careful.

That’s awesome, RGT!!! I was very disappointed when I realized Wrestlefest was not included on my MAME list when I bought my Pi 😔

I get that wrestlefest has individual moves like finishers and atomic drop, body slam, etc. but how do u do any of them? with only 2 buttons it always seemed like u just mash the buttons...

Great video! I may have to pick up an arcade 1 up

Great video. Do you also get Wrestlemania Arcade game on the Raspberry pi also? Thanks

I remember playing this in a local grocery store (I think it was called “Birds” at the time & later Lowe’s Foods & then Save a Lot). You’re right it’s such a good game! Luckily they also had Final Fight at some point, Desert Storm (I think it was called that?), Golden Axe, and a few others.

Well done!

Very nice, the cabinet came out great, looks like it is from the factory.

Awesome really like it. I'm wanting to try to convert one into a retromania arcade when it comes out.

Milford amusement center! We've got the fun!

That's awesome

Hey RGT I was wondering what happened with that switch wrestling game you announced last year ?

Cabinet turned out great Shawn!

Can you share what video/screen settings you're using? Are you using shaders or overlays? Your version of this rom looks clean and smooth. Mine is very pixelated. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
