Captain James Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 So I was just randomly playing the old NES game Tecmo Bowl while at work (3rd shift) and I decided to read the manual for the game... Washington has a freakin sweet ranking in the game: "WASH.- Washington This is an extremely well balanced and powerful team. They are aiming for the championship with a consistent game." Now I know this game was made in 1988 but seriously.. we need to get back on top of the lists in the games of this generation. Lets go Skins! Here's to continued success throughout this season! HAIL!

SkinsFTW Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The Skins weren't one of the easier teams to win with in that game I think. Chicago, San Fran, and the Raiders were almost easy mode. You know you can play Tecmo Super Bowl on your computer with current rosters, right?

The Nations Team Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The skins were an average team in the original techmo bowl. SF,LAR,NYG and Chi were the best. Techmo Super Bowl in 91 strait up rocked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchwood Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Never heard of it, must be a classic.. TECMO was Madden before Madden was Madden, but better. Was it Tecmo super bowl 3 where you could create your own players, the first game you could really do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 DudeBo Jackson was so sweet in that game! You brought back memories. That game was the best!!! Memories: All day Saturday and Saturday night before the Sunday games in 89 and 90, my best friend and I would get together and coach 2 teams through the playoffs. I always picked the Lions. Although they sucked, Barry always had his runs. What a great memory. Thanks for this thread!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekoch Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I always had success with NYG in the tecmo bowl game blocking the extra points. Other than that I remember staying up all night to play every game and win the super bowl with some buddies. Those were some rockin times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Clark Fan Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 As much as i hated LT...he was fast as **** in that game! Giant Defense was tough.....But yea what someone else already said Bo Jackson was unstoppable and Marcus Allen wasn't a bad second option either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskrat Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 A bunch of friends and I used to do a Tecmo league for a few years. One of my friends discovered that if you had a nose tackle with a high enough rating (Seattle did), you could "dive" as soon as the play started and sack the QB 75-80% of the time....even shotgun formations if the QB wasn't quick. Another friend used to make "game film" by videotaping games to spot things he might have missed. We had a great time with Tecmo Super Bowl.....probably the most fun I've ever had playing a sports game. Oh, and I always used the Skins...even when we did the league, everybody knew to stay away from them on "draft" day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 All this talk about Bo Jackson and no mention of Walter Peyton in that game. Just as fast, and had 2 running plays. The Raiders had Allen and Jackson splitting the carries. The dumpoffs to Jackson were murderous, though. Chicago was the best team. They had Willie Gault who was fast as hell. They had Dennis Gentry, who is the best kickoff returner in the game. Who remembers how F'n hard it was to return punts? I must have returned 1 for a touchdown my whole life...and I played that game hours on end. Singleterry was a fast SOB, not as fast as Lawrence Taylor, but good enough to dominate. The Skins weren't fun to be. We ran the reverse which was suicide. Even if you caught the D off guard you'd be lucky to get 10 yards. The thing about that game is that I'd keep putting in my codes so I could play the Raiders (with the Bears) for the Super Bowl. What a hell of a challenge that was. The further you got in to the season, the harder teams got. And the Raiders were right there with the Bears as the best team in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frommd Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The Skins weren't one of the easier teams to win with in that game I think. You sent Gary Clark deep every play. Bo Jackson was so awesome in that game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaudry Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Bo was a lot faster than Payton. Tecmo Super Bowl was a much better game. You had 8 plays instead of 4, you could change your playbook, and it kept season stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 i kept stats w/ pencil and paper for the original tecmo bowl. i was pretty happy i didn't have to do that for tecmo super bowl. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After playing that game wayyyy too much, you kind of understand the levels of speed. Payton was just as fast as Jackson in regular Tecmo Bowl. In Tecmo Super Bowl, Bo was the man.

Forehead Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The skins were an average team in the original techmo bowl. SF,LAR,NYG and Chi were the best. Techmo Super Bowl in 91 strait up rocked! I still have a working SNES and a copy of Tecmo Super Bowl hooked up to my TV. I play the game while I'm on the treadmill. The tricks were to have a running back that wouldn't slow down too much by week five, have a really fast LOLB (for blocking FG/XP) and yeah, the Nose Tackle thing was brutal, though you could do it with the DE's too. Using the NT trick, the easiest team to play with was the Raiders because of Howie Long. It didn't matter that their running backs were Gaston Green and Steve Smith, Howie was there to back the other team up every play. I think I gave up a total of 50-60 points one entire season as the Raiders, and those were all on fumble returns or against teams that had a shotgun play.
