An Introduction To The Greatest Football Video Game Of All Time

When you mention the word Tecmo Super Bowl to anyone under 18 nowadays, they might mention it in the same breath as record players and Atari. Those who do remember the game know that it is STILL probably the best football game ever made. Why is that? Tecmo Super Bowl was the first game ever to keep stats, and have a season mode. Tecmo Super Bowl was the first game with real NFL Players and real injuries. It was also able to make itself fun but yet still challenging. Many times when you play the stupid Madden series, even on All Madden mode you win by at least 30 points a game. Yes it is an accurate simulation, but there is no challenge to it. Tecmo Super Bowl was also very quick, games are usually around twenty minutes.

Tecmo Super Bowl is still played in many circles with the resurrection enabled online emulators and such. Sites such as TecmoBuilders and Knobbe.org are havens for enthusiasts around the world. The online Tecmo Players Circuit (or TPC) enables online pickup games if your connection allows it.

Still others, like Jon, Justin, and James Hellinga play on the console. If you look around this site you will find a few tournaments that the three have been playing for years. Take a look at these tournaments and contact us if you would like to become part of these games.
