Step into the arena with American Gladiators, the 1991 action-sports title for the NES that brings the hit television show to your browser. Go head-to-head against the famous Gladiators in a series of grueling mini-games that test your reflexes, timing, and button-mashing endurance. You will compete in iconic events straight from the broadcast, including Joust, The Wall, Powerball, Human Cannonball, and the challenging final obstacle course, the Eliminator.
How to Play
Your goal is to score as many points as possible across the individual events to earn a head start in the final Eliminator course. The game uses standard NES controls, mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move your contender, press X and Z for the A and B buttons, and use Enter and Shift for Start and Select.
Tips
- The Wall: Watch out for the Gladiators trying to pull you down. Keep moving diagonally to evade their grasp and switch paths when they get close.
- Joust: Timing is everything. Wait for the Gladiator to commit to an attack, then strike immediately after they miss.
- Powerball: Focus on scoring in the outer bins first, as the Gladiators will fiercely guard the center cylinder.
