Version 1.4 Update (3.5mb)
Get the boxed game running at its best courtesy of this free patch. It adds a new dimension to the visuals by giving ears to the character models and allowing their heads to track every move of their opponent! Plus, there's all the usual fine-tuning that keeps the gameplay ticking over. The entertainment analysis, in particular, is more forgiving of lengthy matches - and gives novice players a bit more room to manoeuvre. Elsewhere, you can find new meetings, missions, and a plethora of other tiny modifications. With the new self-extracting executable, you can't go wrong! Simply take care to enter the correct directory of your installation, and the files will automatically find their place. You can then consult the "Version History.txt" document to see what you're dealing with...

Real World Patch (900kb)

The transformation is completed by a selection of authentic aprons, canvases, t-shirts, title belts, and even a genuine tabloid newspaper! Simply enter your game's directory and the files should find their place. You must then use the game's "Reset World" command before the changes take effect...

Teknoman's Encore 3D Pack (9mb)
Unofficial game mods tend to take the form of stray bits & pieces rather anything structured, but this ambitious Wrestling Encore overhaul takes a shot at everything - from the models and animations through to the textures and sounds. Such a thorough transformation may be a little overwhelming if you're a fan of the classic look, but if boredom has set in after all these years this might just be the change of scenery you need to enjoy the game all over again! Simply extract its contents to an up-to-date installation of the game and you should be good to go. Please note that it has nothing to do with me though, so you should direct any queries to the mod's creator at this forum  - where you can discuss the project and find out more about it...
