WWF WrestleMania and WWF European Rampage Tour were games targetted towards the European market. Both travesties were developed in the UK however different teams worked on each release. With minimal wrestlers to choose from (WrestleMania has Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior and British Bulldog while European Rampage Tour has Warrior, Hogan, Bret Hart and Randy Savage) and limited moves to perform, these wrestling games become pretty dull pretty fast.
This video takes a look at the Amiga versions of WWF WrestleMania and WWF European Rampage Tour.
This video contains additional footage from of World of Longplays.
00:00 - Amiga A500 Mini
03:15 - WWF WrestleMania
12:24 - WWF European Rampage Tour

    Had an Amiga 500 in 1991 and can recommend games such as Shadow Of The Beast II (for adventure), Cannon Fodder (for strategy), Pinball Dreams (for an addictive pinball game), Dino Dini's Goal! (for football), Ilyad (for shoot-em-ups). Man, I had over 500 games on floppy disks for this machine and loved every minute of it.

    Never owned an amiga and it makes learning about all these games super interesting. I was too busy looking up every super nintendo and sega genesis game back in the day so the fact there was even more on the Amiga and pc88 systems blows my mind still. If you're looking for something weird an interesting check out Dark Seed. It's a point in click adventure/horror game with visuals made for it by H. R. Giger. It came out on other platforms but i discovered it looking up amiga games. There's an odd Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on the Amiga too.

    I was like you I used to be a big collector of games up until a few years back when the prices went up it just killed my enthusiasm for doing it so I started using mini consoles too. I only played the C64 version of Wrestlemania as a child and it used to ruin joysticks. The CPU was also way too hard and won grapples all the time. Although I worked out a glitch that got them locked in the bottom right corner so you could just keep knocking them out the ring and they would get tapped in that corner and you could repeat. It made it equally as rubbish as playing it and getting killed all the time. Also if you want Amiga games It Came from the Desert and Ruff 'n' Tumble are two of my favourites
