  American Gladiators
The gladiator then flies backwards off the screen, accompanied by a sound effect that sounds like an elderly man screaming while being kicked in the groin with a steel-toed boot and having all his nose hair ripped out, only it's significantly more shrill and annoying and it's sampled at 0.2 Khz.
Every time a gladiator falls the game plays that same annoying exaggerated screaming-in-agony effect, only you won't notice because by the third or fourth opponent you'll be perfectly duplicating that sound effect at the top of your lungs.
There are gladiators running around the field, and if you so much as touch one of them you drop the ball, since apparently your guy is a big wuss.

American Gladiators was an hour long game show, featuring 4 contestants (2 men, 2 women) competing directly against each other for points.
Of course, this usually meant that the Gladiators coughed up a bunch of points in that event, but at least it was fun to see one of the contestants get their block knocked off in the process.
Ice was one of the more prominent female Gladiators, but I still maintain that her biggest claim to fame was that she looked like a man. Seriously, if Malibu and Ice had been on the show at the same time, it probably would have been hard to determine who was who.

 X-Entertainment: American Gladiators Candy Bars?
Kids at home were especially taken with the sometimes cartoony cast of Gladiators, but nobody could deny that "Nitro," "Zap" and their fellow dreamsmashers had the right tools and neck muscles.
Most of the popular Gladiators were available, along with a number of generic "Opponent" figures who served as cannon fodder for that crazy move the "Nitro" figure did with that two-inch plastic green twirly baton accessory of his.
Even the most devoted fans of "American Gladiators" were going to have trouble with this one.

For those of you who were living in a hole or anywhere outside of North America during the Mid-Nineties, American Gladiators was a television show which was hugely popular for a while, and spawned multiple imitators.
The only problem is, there are gladiators on all sides, and coming into contact with one causes you to drop the ball you are carrying.
Overall- American Gladiators was definitely a show that lent itself well to video games.

 You've Seen the Movie, Don't Play the Game - Enter the Matrix, yet another crummy movie-based video game. By Mark Van ...
The video game Enter the Matrix was released the same day as The Matrix Reloaded, the movie that inspired it.
By then, the game had already generated a fawning cover story in every video game magazine in the world, plus two Wired magazine stories, and front-page treatment in the New York Times' "Circuits" section.
Odds are, the developers didn't pick up the license because they had a burning desire to do a great game about a lame '70s TV show; they did it because they needed an easy hook for their lame mission-based driving game.

For the rest of the gladiators, it's a chance to win a couple hundred bucks in whatever bracket they qualified for: the elementary-school championship, the over-80, the wheelchair singles, the standing disabled.
Two Chinese guys (they're Americans now, just like us, but you know what I mean) won it a combined seven times, and a guy from the former Yugoslavia, this year's number one seed, is the same guy who won it last year.
When he was a teenager, he was ranked in the top twenty in the world, and while he was at his peak, the war took apart the delicate mechanism that was his world-class pairing with Primorac; or maybe having his country torn apart ruined him.

And though the Gladiators are no longer with us, their spirit lives on in Microsoft's new party game for the Xbox called Fuzion Frenzy.
With the game's utter simplicity, it would have been nice to give them some varying attributes like speed, fighting ability or vehicle skill, but I guess the developers wanted to keep things as even as possible.
Several of the games have very similar objectives and all of them are over with in a matter of minutes.

As you play each of the varied games, the object of the tournament (and the game, ultimately) is to have the greatest amount of crystal points by the end of the game.
The idea of the game is to keep it simple so as to really concentrate on the action at hand, and believe me, there is so much going on at any one time it’s easy to lose your character in all that action.
Look, my wife, who doesn’t much like games, thought this one was fun because it was easy to pick up and she got to throw bombs at her husband.

Each event in the game seems to try and follow the stage/plotting of the ones that occurred on television to the best of it's ability.
I think the game play pretty much covers why it's only possible to go through it maybe 2-3 times in order to maybe beat all the events in order for some kind of satisfaction.
Anyway, if you see this game at a flea market, Gamestop, or some other sort of used video game store just completely avoid it at all costs.

To the Americans' surprise, the shuttle registered an approaching ship, which happened to be the flagship of Commander Maximix (of the Central Galactic Empire).
Similar to first-person shooter games where anyone can jump into the action in the middle of a round, Eugen Systems hopes that in some modes play will be a free-for-all in which players can join at will.

Back in the 1930's, the Three American Gladiators sent back, Elektra, Viper and Turbo, were all looking at a newspaper and trying to gather their bearings.
The game also just "feels" different on the C64 than the NES, which is due to subtle graphic differences, and the fact that the NES hardware was superior to the C64 hardware by a good margin.

The photo of the American with the trident stoled from a dimestore Posiden prooves one thing we ain't, and that's cowboys.
A doctrine of universal love, world redemption, the cross, peace...these are outside of the rules of the game and any discussion of the utility of "morals".
I can see why these photos would seem odd to people used to thinking of our servicemen and women as hardened John Wayne figures, smoking and cussing their way through super-extended tours of duty in a combat zone.
