So I'm wrestling(no pun intended) with the idea of whether to sell my 4 player Wrestlefest or not. If I'm going to own a wrestling game, this would be it, but I don't really play it that much. I thought it would be getting more love, but maybe I just haven't spent enough time with it. I'm at that 50/50 point where I don't know what I want to do. For those that have been in that situation before, what have you done?

I love Wrestlefest, but it has really limited depth as far as games go, even less than the Konami Beat Em Ups. Most of the wrestlers hae more or less the same move selection, and once you learn how to manipulate the computer opponents, you can easily beat the whole thing with one credit. I'd hold onto the PCB to break out and play when friends come over, but I wouldn't nescessarily hold onto the dedicated cabinet.
 
Maybe you should buy some more 2-4player JAMMA games to use in that cab so you can add a little variety. Turtles in Time, X-Men, Sunset Riders, Capt. America & Avengers, etc. I realize you may not be interested in those particular games, but just a thought.

Really any horizontal JAMMA game that uses 2-buttons can be used in that cab so think about your options.
 
If you were closer I'd say sell it and then I'd buy it. ;) WrestleFest is one of my favorite games from back in the day, but I have to admit it's been a while since I fired my pcb up. If you don't have a nostalgic attachment to the game, I think selling it's not a bad idea. Me personally I have a dedicated WWF Superstars that I haven't played in a while. I'd be hard pressed to let it go simply because of the memories and nostalgia of it.
 
I have decided to keep this game, for now anyways. There's still plenty I can do with it, without harming the game itself. And I've already cleared out enough of the others to keep this along with the next new toy(s) coming in next week :)

Thanks for the advice and support, the game stays.
