  1. I've been doing some (more) research into this & even though haven't solved my lifelong goal of "who is on the cover of TSB cart" - I did find a pretty cool story about how they got who is on the cover! So Tecmo wanted to use Marcus Allen on the cover (not Bo Jackson I'm guessing bc he was a mega star to the likes of MJ, Lebron, Derek Jeter, etc.. he wouldn't be worth even asking bc he would've been 10x anyone else at the time) - Allen was w/ the Raiders and they were a local team for Tecmo's HQ so it made sense (be like if today there was a video game company in San Francisco and they wanted ot put a player on the cover of their cartridge, Christian McCaf. would be the one for it) - so Marcus was approached about using a picture of him going over the goal line on the cover- Marcus Allen wanted $50k for this PLUS a certain % royatly on every cartridge sold. Tecmo told Marcus Allen's agent "where to stick their $50k offer" - Tecmo went looking for other current players but all of their agents wanted what was considered way too much so they hired a model for the day. Imagine if Tecmo actually gave a % cut of every cartridge sold to Marcus Allen or another player - over the years we are talking about WAY more than their late 80s / early 90s NFL contracts paid them! So I still am looking for my lifelong quest of the model used on the cartridge & plan on having him autograph a cart for me - but in the mean time the stories & info finding along the way is jsut as fascinating!
  2. @arncoem could you help me flash two tecmo nes files to two separate boards?

  3. I have been searching for who is on the cover many MANY years! I've had a few conversations w/ Shimogi about it and his only knowledge was that it was a hired person for the day & he has no way of finding out who it was as he was in Japan and the person used for this was in California Is there any chance you have Brian's last name ? Having a TSB cart autographed by him has been a lifelong quest for me!
  4. Augie - Tecmo tourneys in CT are still going on, be great if you reconnected w the community!
