I miss WWF No Mercy on the Nintendo 64.
Hate to be the old man in the room, but its greatness has yet to be surpassed by any wrestling game since. Unfortunately, THQ and the WWE decided to give Yukes exclusive rights to develop their wrestling games; none of which even come close.

Back in my day, tabletop gaming wasn’t ‘cool’. They were played by kids, families, and nerds that I thought were far more nerdy than I. At the very least, that’s how I saw it.

Apparently, I’m late to the party, because I get the sense that this scene has been in the midst of a resurgence for quite some time.
