Overview
Description

3 Count Bout is a retro fighting game that puts you in the ring with ten unique wrestlers, each boasting their own power attacks and hidden combos. Progress through ten increasingly tough rounds, depleting your opponent's damage meter and then pinning them for the three‑count to claim victory. The game supports both single‑player and co‑operative modes, including competitive tag‑team battles, and brings the authentic Neo‑Geo MVS arcade experience to PC. With simple three‑button inputs and unlockable moves, it offers fast‑paced, strategic wrestling fun for fans of classic arcade titles.

Showdown: Legends of Wrestling lets you pit more than 70 of the greatest wrestlers from history against each other in classic and extreme match types. From tables to ladders, cages to battle royals, the game delivers a variety of brutal, fast‑paced action. The era‑based career mode guides you through a path of pain, letting you unlock classic feuds, customize your own wrestler, and master the Ready‑To‑Brawl control scheme for authentic wrestling combat.
