What Sgt. Slaughter's Mat Wars is

Sgt. Slaughter's Mat Wars is a fighting game developed by Beam Software Pty., Ltd. and released in 1989. It was published by Mindscape. It is available on Commodore C64/128/MAX only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

It's Sgt Slaughter's Mat Wars and he wants you, so says the box, provided you have the guts it takes to compete and enough street-smarts to be a wrestling manager too. Moves include a punch, body slam and a flying pin. Opponents can be thrown over the ropes and fought outside the ring. You can get combat pay if you win, as well as move up ranks to the championship. In the game's other mode of play, outside the ring, you can be a manager who bids on a wrestler in Sgt Slaughter's auction house. From there you train him and have him fight his way to the top. The game features five different wrestling tycoons and four arenas.
