    Yes, I'm old. Coincidentally, the commentators on the Buffalo - Bowling Green game mentioned Tecmo Bowl tonight.

    Played it in the arcade, had it on NES with the fearsome Bears D and Bo Jackson, Tecmo Super Bowl.. and when Xbox 360 released Tecmo Bowl (without player names) years ago.

    Great game.

    Tecmo bowl?....I still remember Intellivision!...best football game ever!...we would play that non-stop for hours...back in the day, this was actually considered high tech stuff...I still have the whole playbook memorized!...as a matter of fact in this video clip, the guy that is controlling the offense is calling the plays #9824 and #9817...two very effective plays that are almost unstoppable because you can throw a quick pass or take off running and easily get 5+ yards on every play.

    I always preferred Super Tecmo Bowl. Running the Oiler's Run-N-Shoot Offense was near unstoppable.

    Just played a quarter of a Super Tecmo game on an online emulator. Blast from the past. Good times back then.

    I remember when a buddy of mine got an Intellivision when I was a kid and I thought it was the most awesome thing ever.

    Games have come a long way in the last 40 years. I wonder if the games from 2060 will make the games from 2020 look laughable.

    Played Super Tecmo Bowl with my son in an original nintendo system two days ago. The one I had as a kid.



    Each time you win a game the "level" of the other team kicks up a tick.

    Once you're at like 8-0, that's when it really kicks up. You might even find a few unexpected fumbles too.

    We also played the original Bases Loaded.

    I always picked the team that had Paste on it. I think he had the most homers.

    all of this is great memories. i remember bases loaded was so "real" at the time cause you could see the ball go into the catcher's mitt.

    Bears D also had Singletary, whoI *think* could also block the XP each time? Taylor on NY did, like you said, cincy.

    Bases Loaded still gets quoted to this day with a few friends... like posted, "You bum! Out!" was classic. The name Norkus is always funny to say. Paste was a legend. Great game, along with the original NES RBI Baseball.

    All these games, the sequels fell short, other than Tecmo Super Bowl. But these are absolute classics, I love threads about this stuff.

    You could pick the nose tackle and get a sack every time. I had over 100 sacks in one season with Jerry Ball. Lol.

    That almost sounds like 10-Yard Fight, another classic. Well, the arcade version was. The NES wasn't.
