Tecmo Super Bowl

Back when I was in high school during the mid-1990s, one of my hobbies during my spare time was playing Nintendo.  Although few years (decades?) have passed since then, it was the popular video game system of my era.  My favorite games to play during that time included Super Mario Bros, Tetris, and Tecmo Super Bowl.

During the fall of 2021, I learned of a site where we can go back and play some of these Nintendo games from that era.  Ever since then, every so often, I have taken the opportunity to get re-acquainted with some of these games.  Although I was not able to find Super Mario Bros on this site, I did find Tetris and Tecmo Super Bowl, as well as some of my other favorites, including Pac-Man, Frogger, Baseball Stars, and Pong – the 1972 arcade game that was one of the first of its kind.  In case you’re interested in checking this out or even playing some of these games yourself, I’ll provide the link to the site at the bottom of this post.

For now, in honor of today’s start of the 2022 NFL season, I thought it I would take this opportunity to provide a recap of my experience with Tecmo Super Bowl.  (I also plan to post a recap of my experience with some of these other Nintendo games in a future post.)  Tecmo Super Bowl was a game that was originally launched on Nintendo in 1991, and features NFL gameplay using actual 1991 NFL rosters.  After having played this game in the 90s, taking a break from it for more than 20 years, and re-discovering it last year, I’d like to document my some of my more recent gameplay accomplishments here.
