There’s Dosbox to run the old version but also an open source re-implementation of the engine for modern systems: https://exult.sourceforge.io
Both options need the original game, it’s for sale on Ultima™ 7 The Complete Edition on GOG.com

A wrestling one, it was an arcade game, google says it was probably Mat Mania AKA Exciting Hour.

Ten yard fight, i played alot despite it being objectively terrible. I liked sports as a kid and even though i knew nothing about American football i understood the concept of ‘get the ball over the line’.

Wow. This is one of the games when I was a kid that made me want my own computer, my friend had it on Spectrum. My dad bought a C64 eventually which I hijacked.

Forgot about this one.
