WWF Legends: Challenge 64 is more than a typical rom hack or modification. The third release in the WWF Legends series takes players back to the Golden Era of the WWF with a roster filled with the superstars of yesterday; Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Andre The Giant, Big John Studd, Junkyard Dog, The Hart Foundation, The Rockers and more.
Built on the WWF No Mercy game, Challenge 64 features new character models for each selectable superstar. Hundreds of attires are included in the game which alter superstar movesets and entrances, venues such as the Pontiac Silverdome, London Arena and Rosemont Horizon are all selectable, and the game also features multiple commentary teams such as Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby Heenan and Vince McMahon & Jesse Ventura. For fans of old school wrestling, Challenge 64 is a must-play.

This looks incredible. I loved World Tour, Revenge, and Wrestlemania 2000. The superstars all take me back to my childhood watching with my Dad. What a love letter to wrestling fans.
I concur.
One of my favorites was the ecw game that had blood come out back, arm , legs, etc
Lets be real here: to not have Diesel, Doink, Yokozuna, Lex Luger, Tatanka, Sgt. Slaughter and others in this game is an extreme oversight on the the developers end. Otherwise a good idea, but far from feeling like the "ultimate all star roster" that Wrestling Bios is stating it here.
This makes me want to cry. The level of detail is exquisite. Gotta go support these creators. This is a testament to good will in the world. There is hope after all
Me too
Alright relax with the crying.
I am absolutely FLOORED with the amount of love and care the people put into this mod game. Absolute masterclass in old school wrestling games from the N64 era.
No Mercy is my favorite wrestling game of all time. I have it loaded in the N64 in the other room rn. I basically do my best to turn all the 2K games into No Mercy. Hearing JR and the King for the commentary would have been amazing. I'm all over this. Thanks for sharing!
We need even more characters. I want a complete roster of more or less everyone having been in WWE from 84-93 or something.
It is coming. Be grateful for this. They're not finished with this game yet
What's good about this, is it hits the nostalgia feels for golden era WWF and not just nostalgia feels for No Mercy fans.
Which is good for me, seeing as I never really played No Mercy and have no emotional connection to it. I fully acknowledge its place in gaming history, I just never had a Nintendo beyond the original gameboy and never really got a chance to play it.
In a way, I'll now get to do that and it'll be representing a period of wrestling that was my entry point into this crazy world.
The amount of work and passion that is going into this project is insane to simply put. They deserve all the support without a doubt. I will definitely be trying this at some point.
Fun fact: Marty Jannetty has never been in an official wrestling game. I know this one ain't official, but it's good seeing Marty as a playable character.
He should come with his own special fanny pack
So that means Shawn michaels should be in the game if Jannety is there.
@@poindextersheelturn436 Shawn is on the roster (The Rockers)
@@TheImapotato can only imagine what party marty was keeping in his bum bag of tricks
You mean...he hasn't been gamed?
I would love to see more wrestlers added in the future. The Killer Bees, the Bushwhackers, Nikolai Volkoff, Snuka, Ricky Steamboat, Luna Vachon, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, LOD, Tugboat/Typhoon, Mick Foley, Terry Funk, Golddust, etc.
Bastion Booger & The Brooklyn Brawler
Awesome. To be able to play as the Rockers (the GREATEST TEAM EVER). SO cool. Everything looks good.
They did an amazing job with this
If I had grown up with this era of wrestling, I would be crying right now of how incredible this looks. It really makes me want put in the effort to learn how to install this on my PC
Being 14 in 1997 was so much fun and this looks like the perfect nostalgic game for those who grew up from Hogan to Attitude Era and the great N64 wrestling games. 👍
I was 13 in 97, so we from the same era my friend
When I learned about this game I immediately downloaded it. Being a fan of wrestling since the early 80s, this game brought back some great memories. The Golden Era of wrestling is truly missed. The excitement I had as a child back came right back once I got this game running. I'm looking forward to all future updates.
Can I play on iPad pro?
Man is it a emulator game?
You're right, WWF should have made this game... a LONG time ago.
But that's the beauty of modern modding/hacking of older games... we no longer NEED them to!
Awesome that you are covering "WWF Legends: Challenge 64" here!
I saw my name on the credits and I can't remember what it was that I ever contributed lol.
If anything I've used their work a hundred times (which, yes, these awesome homies are so kind, they allowed the community freely edit and alter their textures that they worked so hard on making.)
These people are the best. Some of the greatest guys to ever grace the WWF No Mercy Community with their presence.
Always wanted a game with the Rockers when I was a kid and play against Hart Foundation, now I can
Holy s***. This is insane. This is the dream game for those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s. I love that this fan base has such talented, passionate fans that can do this stuff. Incredible.
I’ve loved every second of this game since I got it running on my pc a few days ago!
I’m hoping we get more WWF Superstars added in the future!
I’d like to see Yokozuna, Dino Bravo, Greg Valentine and a few others!
More Warrior and Macho King attires as well!
how difficult is it to get it running?
How long does it take? I literally know nothing about computers and I’m very intimidated by started this process.

Its fairly simple dude.
Go to the the download link and follow the steps. Download Main Game, And Music
Unzip Game folder to C: drive
Then go to "WWF Legends - Challenge 64"
Click on the "Project 64" folder
You'll see a folder called "Music Tool"
Unzip the "Music" folder you downloaded inside that "Music Tool" folder it should Overwrite the previous empty "Music" folder
Inside of "Music Tool" you'll see
"start-wwf-with-music-tool"
double click on that.
Then the textures will load(takes a min or two) you may need to "tweek" some settings, maybe maybe not. I had to switch from Direct X to Open GL, just one thing but you may not. Try the instructions above and let me know if you need more help.
@catchcan221 It's not difficult. I feel this was the easiest one to do. Follow RGT85 instructions to a T. He has the best tutorial. I got it running in minutes
It’s like the ultimate love letter to golden era WWF, from roughly 1987 to 1994. You even have things like undertaker mark 1.0 and big boss man at most chunk. Absolutely incredible I can’t wait to see in action
It really is a labour of love. It would be interesting to see them expand it beyond the WWF to WCW of the 80's and 90's. Giving fans a chance to put Andre The Giant against Surfer Sting. That kind of deal.
Its an amazing achievement. I wish they'd do for the Attitude Era to this insane level of detail.
I’d love to see something like this done for the Ruthless Aggression era.
Trust me, it's a good 10 of these mods. There will be more.
No mercy
YES! So glad you played this and gave them some props! More people who play it, the more they get motivated to keep going to make it better!
They need Captain Lou Albano as a manager in the game lol
just so so much better than ANYTHING these development studios will give us. Brilliant work just amazing. Puts a real smile on my face
I don't think it is better than all other wrestling videogames
@@troywright359 Seems like people are mostly talking about the love, care, and accuracy put into this, rather than the total package. Like whenever they try to put legends in games today, 70% of the time they just look WAY off, don't look like they belong, no alt attires etc. Also never forget this is a passion-fueled fan project you can get for free, so that automatically raises the bar.
@@troywright359Did you play it? It's No Mercy on steroids with classic wrestlers. This game elevates a wrestling fan's nostalgia to untapped levels. It's better than anything wrestling right now
Legion of Doom with Precious Paul, Brain Busters, The Narcissist, Superfly, The Dragon, Gold Dust, Strike Force, The Real World's Champion, Yokozuna, The King of Hearts, The Dynamite Kid, Mr. Wonderful, Ace, Piper's Pit???, Backstage interviews, Call outs, fall outs, big reveals, sneak attacks, not like the attitude area so much, but like they happened in the 80s. Man, I'm hyped for this game!!!!!
I don’t know if my old cheap pc will even play this game but I want to support these guys so much! The passion and care they took to bring us all a fabulous throwback style of game deserves all the love and money. Great job guys! Brings me back to my old N64 days. Gotta love that.
You would think by 2023 game producers would have thought of making this game YEARS ago. N64 had great wrestling games, every monday after raw friends and i would play WWF War Zone. Thanks for all the info bro, gonna DL this strait away!
EDIT: the twitter link is no good "account doesnt exist"
Mu'fuggin lethal weapon is a legend no wonder they slipped that in
The images of the wrestlers on the character select screen are amazing. I'd love some high quality prints of those, they are very much wall worthy.
Its a very impressive mod for a first beta and while there are some glitches its to be expected and can be fixed as the mod is updated. The commentary tracks are really impressive they have been put in and such a neat detail. I cant wait to see how far this mod goes in future since it can only get better
This looks absolutely amazing, I think for hogans legdrop thought they should have done what the original did for the peoples elbow. Get the special go to the head press the grapple button and hogan hits the ropes automatically then you press the strike button to do the legdrop. But I'm getting this game
Dude, you can!
I've never heard of this before, it looks awesome! Can't wait to see more characters like Doink The Clown and Yokozuna
Looks awsome. Was that also a blindfold match? I can imagine playing that with reversed controls
I would like to see Arn and Tully added to it...and "The Widowmaker"
This is way cool!, would've loved to see a kinda WCW vs WWF type in the game and/or maybe some British wrestling legends in there, ie. Kendo, Big Daddy, Haystacks, etc, etc....
These fan-made things always blow my mind. The attention to detail and the overall aesthetic are always spot on. It's great when wrestling nerds and video game nerds collaborate to create something like this.
I think this looks great. If only they could do a 1980's WCW/NWA one
Or a territorial era one in general.
Check out WCW Saturday Night Romhack. Its a Wrestlemania 2000 Hack. Early 90s pre Nitro WCW.
Nobody cares😅😂
@@SLICK8116 You did enough to comment.
@@maxxdahl6062 literally nobody 😅😂🤣
The fans that worked hard on this game is definitely an example of what the devs from 2k and thq Nordic should've been doing with current wrestling games. I've played many modded pc games of past video games and they always have that fun nostalgic gameplay to it with new stuff added as well.
First thing I'm gonna do is a royal rumble with all the old classic dudes from 91 and recreate a modern day Wrestlefest 😝
Love the Saturday Night's Main Event theme at the end.
This really looks incredible, almost makes me sad that I don’t play PC 🤣
This takes me right back to when I fell in love to Wrestling games.
This game is amazing. I have downloaded the game two weeks ago and i play it often now. Just awesome.😊
13:34
Is it Thursday already lol COLD AS ICE!
Jesse Ventura gonna want royalties for this game brother
There are other games like this that mods have made from the No Mercy engine like WCW: Feel The Bang which was supposed to be a sequel to Revenge, WCW Starrcade 64, ECW: Barley Legal 64, TNA vs ROH 64, NXT 64, they also have ones with modern era rosters too and they also have something called Showdown 64: World Tour, a No Mercy sequel called WWF Invasion too.
I'd love to see more former IC champions like Tito Santana, or just underappreciated women like Wendy Richter, Cyndi Lauper, and the Bomb Angels...but right now, I'm still in awe that games like this and the early WCW mod even exist.
I would kill to have this officially released in some capacity for consoles. Looks unreal!
Greatest game ever. By far.
They added mr wonderful which is a great addition. The fans are doing some of the best work.
What an incredible game for someone who came into the WWF late 80’s.
DAMN...I WANT THIS GAME!! I'm a huge, huge fan of the AKI N64 wrestling games, and this one looks absolutely amazing! By the way, the SNME theme at the end of the video really, really took me back.
Best intro music! That’s a hit of nostalgia.
This game looks amazing!! I gives me old WCW game vibes. The characters look awesome. They ALL look like their real counterparts. Kudos to the development/creative team!
a true labor of love,
also the one thing that aew game was lacking: actual stars
This just makes me wish that Razor Ramon and Mr.Perfect were a team and Bobby Heenan was always a commentator with Gorilla Monsoon.
Heenan and Monsoon were the most dynamic team of commentators that has and will EVER exist.
Wow, I am from Albany N.Y, my 1st ever wrestling event that I ever attended was the Royal Rumble 1992. I was 5 yrs old at the time, and vividly remember the event. I went with my grandfather, my dad, and brother
I still play the Def Jam games because the AKI engine is amazing. I’m working on adapting the AKI engine for a co-op brawler.
After watching this I wouldn't mind a RELIVING THE MONDAY NIGHT WAR VIDEO GAME 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯✔️ LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
Thank you everyone for your hard work, your work has gone noticed 💯
I know what I'm doing this weekend! Also, would LOVE to see WCW included. Would be so fun to get the "what if" matches that never could have been. Great video as always
If a couple of fans can make a wonderful masterpiece like this what was THQ and Yukes excuse with FF? Or 2k's excuse? Why is it taking Ultra Pro wrestling so long to release? Man we have to take care of these people at all cost.
Looks superb! I'm also certain that musical in the background is "obsession" by animation too
9:35
That's Royal Rumble 92, 93 was at the Arco Arena in Sacramento, California.
Wow, this looks amazing! The WWE should hire these guys to make this game “official” and available on various platforms. Not sayin’ just saying! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Always liked the intro music.
Make sure to do a follow up video when the future modes are complete. Looks like a great game.
It’s inexcusable that this game has commentary 100 times better than any 2k game
This game is such a treasure
Just FYI, the twitter link in the description has a typo, and thus, doesn't work. You typed "WWF" at the beginning and end of the link, where it should just be at the beginning. Just thought I would point it out so people clicking the link can manually edit the link, too.
Thanks for this great video!
THIS IS WHAT WCW MAYHEM should have looked like!!
This looks incredible, I spent so many damn hours on No Mercy back in the day.
You can tell this was made with love, looks fantastic!
0:19 - A clip of CM Punk with the commentary, "But it also felt like something was missing." LOL.
They've really got the look and the vibe for that era bang on the money.
For me, this is when wrestling was at its prime time
12:50 here is your winner...as the result of clipping....THEEEE UNDERRRRTAKERRRRR!!!
Great review, I appreciated the acknowledgement of the other challenge - the trials of getting mods and emulation up and running smoothly, as this too often goes unspoken and is more likely to put off the people who were sold it as some kind of gaming wonder drug. It's always worth it in the end, but it pays to be realistic about the headaches you might have to overcome to get there, call it suffering for your art.
The dream AKI game that AKI never made! Excellent stuff.
Ah dude this is great finally a version of NM i can really get into more than VPW2.
I saw something about this and was wondering if you would do a video on it. Thank you for the awesome work and information! This is way better than anything out there.
congrats for the video. I started to play wrestlin' games on the commodore64 ... so this is insane.
9:35 HA, you fool! It wasn't the 93' Royal Rumble at the Knickerbocker arena it was the 92' Royal Rumble at the knickerbocker arena. I will be taking my cookie in the mail 😂. Joking about the fool part, huge fan. Not joking about the 1992 part. 1993 was in Sacramento I think.
I watched a ton of gameplay videos of this game last week and saw your tweet to them about working on this video and couldn’t wait to see it. Great work as always
Listening to the No Mercy soundtrack brought me here. No MErcy and WM2000 are the top tier wrestling games. Absolutely getting this on P64 tonight when I finish work!!! Great vid as well!!
@WrestlingBios
These older style WCW/WWF Games are Phenomenal and I actually own all of the WWF & WCW games on my N64 console and I enjoy em 100%. I'm so proud of all of the Developers who are STILL Modding No Mercy and you can mod WCW Vs Nwo World Tour as well and WCW NWO Revenge game 🤟🏾🐐🤟🏾
Never underestimate passionate fans. Be it wrestling fans or gaming fans. Best of both worlds with this game though. I still think my favorite passion project will always be AM2R. AM2R was an AMAZING fan made Metroid 2 (before Nintendo released the "official" Metroid 2 remake) I LOVE both games. Metroid 2 and "Another Metroid 2 Remake" and I can honestly say I did like AM2R MORE then Nintendos Metroid 2. They both use the super Metroid style engine that they have been since super Metroid. But yeah I will give this game a play when I have more time. And like you said with this game, when you play AM2R you DO forget it's not a licensed title and that is why I think it's so damn epic.
Would love to see Sid in this game. Can't wait to download
Weird that they've got Razor Ramon (debut August 92), but not HBK Shawn Michaels (only Rocker Shawn Michaels), who debuted December 91.
Im probably more likely to play this than almost any of the others. Very cool. :)
This is amazing! Unbelievable amount of detail went into this game. I love what I'm seeing the only thing missing is a bigger roster there's a lot of guys still missing from this game
This is a fantastic idea. I like that the newer games have mods you can download that allow you to play this Era of WWF, but this one definitely hits different combining the nostalgia of the old No Mercy engine with the period of wrestling that just missed when video games were really starting to look good and using 3D polygons.
Oh my god i want this!
Would love the nasty boys, Legion of doom, reugeous bros, natural disasters, ricky dragon steamboat, doink, papa shango, repo man, owen hart, roddy piper etc
I have been playing this nonstop lately. Incredible game. Thank you for all your beautiful documentary/review work man. I need the people who made this to mod an ECW version with Joey Styles commentary. I’d lose my mind. Dream game of all dream games. A full on classic ECW AKI game! Like if you agree!
You can hear him talk with a smile while reviewing this.. This game reminds me of my Favorite wrestling game back from the good ol days WCW/NWO Revenge.. Great review.
Is that music at the beginning from old collisium home videos? Gave me a trip back in time! Awesome!
do you know what it's called. love that theme
@@gastonphalange unfortunately not mate. If you do find out then please let me know.
10:13 we need Worzel!
!
So much fun!! The original download is a little tricky but once you get it, it's pretty easy to run. Only thing I am not a huge fan of the commentary but that's just a personal preference, still really cool the guys put it in there
I've never been able to do the settings correctly to play a mod for No Mercy so thank you for making a video on this.
I can see what you mean with AEW: Fight Forever, it was underwhelming to say the least, especially when comparing it to other wresting games that are available, not just the WWE 2K series, the bones are there in Fight Forever they just need more meat on them.
