Gameplay
As in the real show, the player use their strength and stamina in order to confront their opponents and the American Gladiators. Players must navigate through the Assault, Powerball, The Wall, and Joust over a course of four increasingly difficult skill levels. If you succeed against all difficulty levels (and odds), you will face the Eliminator. When you defeat the Eliminator, you have achieved the ultimate victory (at least in American Gladiators).
Other Systems
American Gladiator can also be found for the Amiga, Sega Genesis, and Super NES systems.
The gladiator then flies backwards off the screen, accompanied by a sound effect that sounds like an elderly man screaming while being kicked in the groin with a steel-toed boot and having all his nose hair ripped out, only it's significantly more shrill and annoying and it's sampled at 0.2 Khz.
Every time a gladiator falls the game plays that same annoying exaggerated screaming-in-agony effect, only you won't notice because by the third or fourth opponent you'll be perfectly duplicating that sound effect at the top of your lungs.
There are gladiators running around the field, and if you so much as touch one of them you drop the ball, since apparently your guy is a big wuss.
