Scottish Wrestling Entertainment Re-enacts Final Fight for Proper Games!
July 1, 2010 – Dundee, Scotland At the recent launch party for Final FightTM: Double Impact, games developer Proper Games enlisted some help from Scottish Wrestling Entertainment (SWE). The wrestlers, including Bravehart and Chaz Phoenix, performed an hour long show for the Dundee games development community in celebration of the Final Fight release.
The crowd of more than one-hundred people enjoyed pizza and beer and got the chance to play the game before the SWE entertained with their brand of over-the-top action. The evening culminated with a Final Fight themed Battle Royale starring the likes of Cody, Andore, Poison, Belger and, of course, Haggar.
Attending the party were developers from nearly all of the Dundee companies including Ruffian, Realtime Worlds, Cohort, Tag, Denki, Digital Goldfish, as well as games professionals from around Scotland and students from the local games development degree programmes.
SWE frequently perform wrestling events around Scotland and are soon to hold their annual ‘Hell For Lycra’ event in Dundee.
