This got me to dig out and reorder some things from downey games. glad to have gotten most all of the main wrestlers that came through dallas, but i do have some problems. most of the von erichs are rated to low. most of the heels have better over all numbers. second too much math. third, in tag bouts not enough info to make a good write up I got the 50's and '73 sets and I saw that as well. A number of stronger guys have -25 for Size and 0 for Strength. I think anyone about the size of Lugar or Davey Boy Smith should have about a 25-50 Size and 50 STR. Also I agree about the tag matches. I usually end up rolling at random to see who gets the pin on whom. In addition, I think the Pre-match should be rolled first while the skill chart should be rolled afterward to reflect a highlight move. Other than that, it's a nice quick game. Too bad Giant Baba and Ox Baker aren't in either set. Does anyone know what set they're in? I'm curious about the 85 and 86 sets and not sure what the difference is. Finally, I emailed Jeff to ask if he's doing a vintage set with guys like Gotch and Lewis. He says he's thinking about it but nothing's set in stone, so I made my own of Gotch, Lewis, Pesek, Turk, and several others. I'd like to add Great Gama and George Tragos to the mix but I don't know much about them. Honestly, you could just make your own boots. I did that for 1997 WCW because I knew the year well and it took me almost no time to churn out everyone that wrestled for the company that year. |

Yeah boots are pretty much what I'm going with from now on. Still gotta find info on Gama and Tragos. Can anyone help with those two?

Mark T had a nice Gama card but his website is kaput I believe. Don't know much about Tragos unfortunately.

Yeah, the Ultra Quick works better for things like basketball. I like the idea for wrestling but I ultimately need some more meat to a game. I think Face to the Mat did a better job of not quite being hold for hold but giving you more of a feel for a match. I play FTTM along with LOW. It's a completely different approach to putting pro wrestling on your tabletop, but it's equally as much fun. Joebreakdown's reaction to UQ Wrestling doesn't surprise me. I never purchased the game because, based on online descriptions, I could never figure out what was supposed to be fun about it. |

Anyone who wants copies can give me a holler. Pretty sure I also have an Earl Caddock bootleg with Werner art. I'll have to check on that. |

I'll have to check on that. Those are from several years ago, right? I think I used the Santel and Jenkins cards for my UQW boots. Not sure if I have Roller. I also added Fred "Demon" Bartl and Harry Houdini. i'm also thinking of doing more presidents as I made stats for Lincoln. Maybe a stable of prez's to fight to heels. |

I appreciate the efforts of the DowneyGames team recently, stepping up after Jeff Downey's illness, but the recent ratings of wrestlers in the UQW game have not made much sense, and I have stopped purchasing/supporting the game. I gave up on Vintage after no updates for years.

Here's something I've been wondering. What's the Match Modifier supposed to represent? Is it a highlight move or moment? and if so, shouldn't it be rolled after the pre-match?
