I'm not sure if you'll love this even if you love the show.

User Rating: 5 | American Gladiators NES
American Gladiators is a game of only 5 events.

Joust, Human Canonball, Wall, Assault, Powerball

You have to beat all of these to move on to the next level,
to do the same thing again, but only harder. (4 levels)

In Joust, you have to fight the gladiators using different strategies like, swinging at their head or chest or knees. You win after beating 4 of them.

In Powerball, you try to get the most balls into the pot like containers, without getting hit by a gladiator. You cannot lose this level.

In Human Canonball, you have to swing on a rope and knock the gladiator off his platform. Beat 4 of them and you win.

In Assault, you have to make it to the end without getting shot 3 times or shoot the gladiator numerous times and you win.

In Wall, you have to alternate with A & B to climb the wall as fast as you can. Dodging the gladiators, make it to the top to win. (Hardest one).

This game is repetitive and I highly doubt you would play this game again after you lost.
