HAL Wrestling is an ancestor of the Fire Pro Wrestling series behaves much like
its followers, but has a fair amount more button mashing. It is still,
however, one of the better wrestling games for Game Boy. It is a decent game...
it just hasn't held up very well through the years.

HAL Wrestling is for 1 Player (vs. Computer) or 2 Players (Head to Head).
There are two types of matches: SINGLE MATCH and 4 vs. 4 ELIMINATION MATCH.
In Single Match play, you select your wrestler and the computer will pick your
opponent. Matches are 10 minutes long and best of three falls. In the case of
a tie, the player loses.
Win/Loss Screen
---------------
After each match, a display will show your wrestler, your opponent, and the
record of wins and losses.
Elimination Match
-----------------
In Elimination mode you take turns with the computer to select your 4-man
team. Once all the wrestlers are selected, a Team Order screen will be
displayed.
Selecting the Order of Wrestlers
--------------------------------
You then choose the order of your wrestlers. When you're satisfied with the
order of your team, move the cursor to END and push the A Button. Before each
matchup you will then see a screen with the next two wrestlers.
In Elimination Matches, all matches ending in a tie are a draw.
