WWF WrestleMania: Steel Cage Challenge is a professional wrestling video game based on the World Wrestling Federation, released in 1992 by Acclaim Entertainment for the NES and Sega Master System gaming systems, and the Sega Game Gear handheld console.

Gameplay

Papa Shango faces I.R.S. in the game's titular steel cage match.

Modes include One-on-One (regular match and steel cage match variations), Tag Team, WWF World Heavyweight Championship (choose one wrestler and defeat all the others to become WWF World Heavyweight Champion), and Tag Team Championship (choose two wrestlers and defeat combinations of the rest in a series of tag team matches to become WWF Tag Team Champions).

Ten wrestlers are playable. All versions of the game feature Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase, I.R.S., Bret Hart, and The Undertaker. The NES version also has Jake Roberts, Sid Justice, Roddy Piper, and The Mountie. The Sega versions replace those characters with Ric Flair, Papa Shango, Shawn Michaels and Tatanka.

All wrestlers share the same moveset, consisting of standard punches and kicks, grapples (body slam, throw, headbutt), running attacks (flying clothesline, dropkick), a powerslam to a running opponent, ground attacks (stomp, elbow drop) and a move off the turnbuckle. There are no finishing moves. However, this was the first WWF console-based game to feature a steel cage match (cage matches had previously been seen in the arcade game WWF WrestleFest).
