Tecmo Super Bowl

The Good
Tecmo Super Bowl's (T.S.B. for short) great gameplay and controls are easy to grasp, you have a selection of 8 plays (4 Running, 4 Passing) and are also able to punt and kick a field goal. T.S.B. stays true to the NFL and the feel of it. So true, that the game was licenced to the N.F.L.P.A. (National Football League Players Association) in order to give the game true-to-season rosters, which at the time, was unheard of in a sports game. It also had the 1991 Pro Bowl rosters, and if you felt like it, you were able to shake the rosters up! (Don't like Jim Kelly at the A.F.C. QB position? put in Warren Moon instead!)

The stats of the individual players were deadly accurate, from Dan Marino's laser like passing speed, to Lawrence Taylor's unorthodox speed and hitting power, they remained completely accurate.

Injuries were also outfitted into the game, so the player would have to adjust if a star player on his team got himself hurt.

The Bad
The music in the game gets just a bit repetitive. Now, when I heard the tracks the first time, I thought they were very catchy and set the mood for the game you were in, the music is different for every possession of the game (Playoffs, Pre-season, Pro Bowl), but after a while, you'll be kinda over it.

The Bottom Line
Tecmo Super Bowl is a now legendary 2 player NFL football sports simulator. Everyone who has an NES emulator and is a fan of the NFL or football in general, has T.S.B. in their collection. T.S.B. has been the center of hack makers, who take the game and rearrange the rosters, adding current NFL players such as Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson.

T.S.B. however, in my opinion, is best enjoyed by playing the unaltered classic. Jim Kelly, Joe Montana, Barry Sanders, Lawrence Taylor, Deion Sanders, all the great players from the early 90's are in this fantastic game. Get out your NES, if you have it, and pop this baby in.

But of course, there are emulators as well, I highly suggest you download this one!!
