TEW is a bigger game and, in some senses, better through technology and increased choices and flexibility. The (entirely free) game was kept updated for a few years before Ryland cashed in on his skills with the creation of TEW 2004, which was sold commercially and has had semi-regular releases, the most recent being TEW 2016. EWR had built upon two previous flavors of the game (Extreme Warfare and Extreme Warfare Deluxe) to create the best sim in history. And it did it all within an easy to use interface.
Released in June 2002, EWR handled contracts, gimmicks, TV - every aspect of wrestling, really - in ways no other simulation game had. While those are the cream of the modern simulator crop, Ryland has never quite recaptured the magic of EWR. You young nerds may know the man for creating the Total Extreme Wrestling and World of Mixed Martial Arts series for Grey Dog Software. Let’s go! #EWR /JPJU8a3gr3- Rickey Shane Page July 24, 2018ĮWR was created by Adam Ryland.
Despite its age, the game is still sold for $29.95 - with an extra $45 needed to be paid out for all plugins.Īs TNM7 is left to slowly fade from our collective memory, Extreme Warfare Revenge is experiencing a sudden revival. Adding the right plugins, writing promos and realizing Bret Hart could put on a highly rated match with almost anyone, it all remains near perfect in my mind. I have strong feelings about the DOS-based greatness of the simulator. TNM7 was particularly no-frills in the visual department. Zeus Pro fans are not allowed in my clubhouse. The preferred sim flavor changed over time, but two stuck as near perfection: TNM7 and Extreme Warfare Revenge. I would spend entire weekends with friends, everyone hauling their desktop PCs to the same location, binge watching wrestling while we ran our own promotions in whatever sim game we’d decided was best that week. School cafeteria wrestling debates, tape trading, the secret shame of eFeds, deciding if Nitro or Raw got the live viewing (but making sure you recorded both on your VCR - god bless you, immediate Nitro replay), backyard wrestling with friends, the perfection of the AKI games. In my teenage years, everything was wrestling all the time.
