Tecmo Super Bowl is a legend for a reason! Sure, the graphics are super old-school, and it doesn't have all the official teams or complex plays of modern football games. But the fast-paced arcade action, surprisingly strategic gameplay, and that iconic soundtrack make it a blast to play even now. If you have an NES and love retro gaming, or just want a nostalgic football fix, Tecmo Super Bowl is absolute gold.
Still better than 99% of modern sports games
Bo or Barry, both were ridiculous in this game. So good.
The perfect sports game
Fun as all fuck
My friends would all pick a team and we would stay up all night playing full seasons. Game didn't age well but was a lot of fun for its time
its only fun when you're bo jackson
I won the game
And now I'm gonna jump
BO JACKSON
And now I'm gonna jump
BO JACKSON
imagine being the programmer who had to design the pass plays for this game. i wouldn't even show up to work.
Tecmo Super Bowl walked so Madden could run...
I was forged in the fire of this game.
Probably second only to Tetris in play time throughout my life, Tecmo Super Bowl tends to be the first game I load up when anything NES is happening. Whether it's my childhood console and cartridge or emulation; This game is getting played. Most recently I've stumbled across the wonderful world of retro gaming handhelds and all the fun they have to offer. I've had a "Miyoo Mini" for about a year now and just finished up yet another season of Tecmo Super Bowl rather than exploring something new in the retro world.
There's gimmicks, exploits and ways you can game the game. It's aged. It's missing features you wish a football game had. It's got its many quirks. But it's still fun. It's up to you to handicap yourself in certain ways. Avoid those exploits. And you can still be challenged thoroughly. Especially come playoff time! While I brought the Bears to the promised land my last season playthrough, I fell short with the Chargers this time. QB Bills was tossing bombs in the AFC championship and Thurman Thomas could not be contained.
Always fun. Always a trip back in time. I love it.

A simple fast paced take on maybe the worlds most convoluted sport
Not really a football fan but I had some fun with this a couple of times. I remember playing this in grade school for some reason. Always lost though. I didn't know how broken bo jackson was.
