Very useful skill, wrestling. It can get you out of all sorts of trouble (as I, er, found out this month, readers.) So I always welcome a cheapie game which allows me to test my half-nelson holds and body slamming techniques.

There are eight wrestlers, all with stupid names, and you can set any number of them as humans or the computer. You can either hold a tournament, where everybody tries to squash everybody else's faces in a series of bouts, or you can play one-off matches (saving time and valuable electricity).

The game is a wee bit slow, but there are so many moves you can pull that this gives you time to prepare for the next bone-splitting, head-mashing attempt.

If you're into this form of rather unconvincing violence, Championship Wrestling is worth a look. It's not up to WWF standard, but neither does it cost over a tenner. Remember the Frames' ancient family motto, kids: stinge not binge!

A bit jerky, but then again people have said exactly that of me. Championship Wrestling is a good way to entertain seven friends. It works out to 49.875p each, so you can even charge them for the cost of the cassette too!
