- bluto36, on 07/02/2008, -1/+103overheard from my living in 1988;
bullsh*t if we are playing for money than nobody gets to be the raiders. - BlackTye, on 07/02/2008, -1/+79God I love Tecmo Bowl.
- canewediggit, on 07/02/2008, -1/+52bo knows tecmo bowl
- donquixote235, on 07/03/2008, -0/+51The Tecmo series was SO much better than Madden. We used to play full seasons against each other, and have a dime-per-game ante... at the end of the season, whoever won the superbowl won the pot. If nobody won, we'd roll it over into the next series.
My favorite team to play was the Eagles, with good old QB Eagles (aka Randall Cunningham) as the quarterback. He was a better RUNNING BACK than most of the regular RB's in the game.
It was always a nightmare however when your very first game of the season, on the very first play, your star player would get injured and you'd have to play out 3 or 4 games with your secondary, Crappy McWeakSauce. To this day when I see somebody in real life fall or otherwise get injured, I have the Tecmo Injury Theme playing silently in my mind.
Also, at about the time when Tecmo Super Bowl was out I worked as a sidekick on a radio morning show, and I got the job of sports announcer based entirely on the fact that I was a huge Tecmo fan. Hell, I never actually WATCHED football, I just played it on Tecmo. I actually did pretty good with my predictions; I would just have the two teams play each other on auto-skip about 6 or 7 times, and average the results and call that out on the air as my spread for the game. - cobophers, on 07/03/2008, -1/+44READY DOWN HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT>>>>>>>
- StevieJanowski, on 04/02/2009, -3/+37I hope this is a series I need to see some hail marys
- Joecrook, on 07/03/2008, -0/+27buried for being inaccurate. Not even an End zone can stop Bo Jackson.
- Jasper710, on 07/02/2008, -1/+24sweet graphics
- Notyavgkat, on 07/02/2008, -1/+23memories
- PATSCRU, on 07/03/2008, -2/+24yeah that was pretty coo.....TOUCHDOWN THURMAN THOMAS
- ventsi, on 07/02/2008, -1/+21one of my favorites
- MisterEX, on 07/03/2008, -0/+16Dan Marino for an 85 yard pass to Mark Duper please.
- KingGoonie, on 07/03/2008, -0/+15Lets not forget the other reason to pick the raiders... Howie Long's Diving Defense!!!!
Press B instantly after ball is hiked and you see Howie Long make a 10 yard dive for a sack.
Or taking Giants. for LT as someone said before for his running sacks and Carl Banks for his almost as good as Howie Long dives. - Dean2k, on 07/02/2008, -3/+18Tecmo Bowl was the bomb back in the day! 8 whole plays to choose from... I loved it.
- canewediggit, on 07/03/2008, -0/+14fools. the key to winning in tecmo bowl was to pick the giants. lt could block the extra point every time, no other team had that.
- Kisama, on 07/03/2008, -0/+14Dude, pick New York and Lawrence Taylor their ass.
- kenvsryu, on 07/03/2008, -1/+14So much more fun than EA's Madden Series.
- Chode2235, on 07/03/2008, -0/+12Youo cant even do the two point conversion in the game. It was not allowed by the NFL until the mid 90's
- freakgd, on 07/03/2008, -0/+12MOVING MAN MOVING MAN
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -3/+14eerily similar to Bo vs. the Seahawks...
- wilhoitm, on 07/03/2008, -0/+11I used to worship this game in college at the Univ. of MD. We used to set up tournaments, and record the games! We loved Bo!
- HIFIsamurai, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10I hope there are enough people on digg that are old enough to appreciate this submission that it goes FP!
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10God I love games without variables.
- Bedonder, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10Yes it was LT FTW.
- commiecat, on 07/03/2008, -0/+9Christian Okoye was in Tecmo Super Bowl. The original game didn't even have the Chiefs (or rather, Kansas City).
EDIT: YouTube is blocked here. Looks like the thumbnail is Tecmo Super Bowl but the title says Tecmo Bowl. I'm so confused. :(
Giants and Raiders were my favorites in the original (49ers close). TSB I played the Oilers (passing), Falcons (Deion) and Lions (Barry). - inactive, on 12/07/2008, -0/+9Was it Lawrence Taylor that you blocked the kick with? Can't recall.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+9you guys do know this has nothing to do with love for the Bills right?
- vexingmodstwo, on 07/03/2008, -0/+9I remember that! God, I'm old.
- xanadu2113, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8"Cheater, you looked at my play for the automatic sack"
- ganymede2010, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8Lawrence Taylor was unstoppable on that game. It was impossible to score a field goal against the Giants. Boy those were the days.
- walkertexas69, on 07/03/2008, -1/+9You just described my entire techno super bowl career....
- longklaw, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7That just made my morning!
- daimposter, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7i was waiting for Bo Jackson to be caught from behind on the 6 yrd line and suffere a broken pelvis.
what? too soon? - phyx726, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7Bo Jackson was awesome. The only man who could have been an MVP in two different leagues. Stupid injury.
- shango5, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7Tecmo Bowl 4, Tecmo Super Bowl 8 which is why the latter was always my favorite.
- jyrus, on 07/03/2008, -1/+7player 2 sucks
- commiecat, on 07/03/2008, -0/+6He was. And they also had Barry Word who wasn't bad, either. TSB had that thing where your players would get like + and - (or something like that) -- at any rate, when you had Okoye and he was all pumped, he'd run over anyone. When Barry was like that, he'd outrun anyone.
- hokeywebb22, on 07/03/2008, -0/+6There sure is
http://digg.com/other_sports/Tecmo_Super_Bowl_Insa ... - TBBucs, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5This reminds me of when I used to play NBA Live '99. Turn off fouls, turn of rules, turn on arcade mode, dunk my way to a 210-8 victory.

Tecmo Bowl is coming to the DS. - shootdashit, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5i have a wii and this is the game we play the most. wish they'd just do an updated version of this classic.
- akatherder, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5Derrick Thomas was in the same position on the Chiefs.
- XxtraLarGe, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4I used to love playing Tecmo Bowl too, and from what I've heard a new version of it is coming out for the Nintendo DS :-)
- 1gunners4, on 07/03/2008, -1/+5How could you beat the Montana to Rice Hail Mary combo?!?
- NytStalker, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4My team was NY Giants. Lawrence Taylor
But yea i liked the Chiefs too, - kilofox, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYDj2hQvnfk
- fakeplasticsnow, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4Wow, great game. I can't wit until the new one comes out for DS: http://kotaku.com/5011541/tecmo-bowl-screens
