Recommended Posts

Welcome to TecmoBowl.org: the greatest place on Earth. Ever.

When I asked site owner, Knobbe, to describe why he chose to create TecmoBowl.org in five words or less, he answered, "To hack Tecmo Super Bowl." So it was, and hacked it has been. TecmoBowl.org has it all!
 

"Do you have what it takes to help us evolve Tecmo Super Bowl? Everyone starts out a beginner."

Go on and give yourself a pat on the back, because if you're reading this, you should know that you've stumbled upon both the largest community-driven Website and Tecmo Super Bowl hacking documentation resource on the Internet. Period. Above all else, everyone here wants to enjoy Tecmo Super Bowl for what it is, one of life's pleasures. So relax, enjoy your visit, and congratulations; you've found the Holy Grail of Tecmo Super Bowl.

TecmoBowl.org Forum Content (w/ link & description):

You might be saying to your self, "There's so much to read about! What do I start with?" Well, that would depend on your interests...

1. First thing's first: read up on any practical piece of information that you think will help guide your journey in the Getting Started pinned threads of the TecmoBowl.org forum. Something tells us that you've already begun.

2. Tecmo Super Bowl Game Forums: Oh-my-god, you're so excited--we know, we get it: other people actually want to spend their time keeping conversation about the classic Tecmo Super Bowl franchise alive. Wanna talk about the old days of Bo Jackson, QB Eagles, and The Nigerian Nightmare? Got an axe to grind about the Playstation and/or hand-held versions? Looking for news and/or information about the potential of an upcoming release? This is the all-purpose retro and contemporary Tecmo Super Bowl general discussion forum headquarters for you, fan.

3. Live Tournaments: For those looking to find or post a notice about a live tournament or meetup. And, yes, there are a ton of people looking to create a live tournament. Generally, these events will have specific rulesets in place during play that have been acquired from widely-regarded leagues across the United States and beyond. Typically, larger events are hosted in a venue that legally sells alcohol and food, such as hotels, bowling alleys, and etc. event spaces. Check the Tecmo Players Map, and maybe you can find someone(s) near you who wants to kick your ass in a game of TSB. If you can find enough people, hopefully you can setup your own regional tournament or league!

4. Online Leagues/Tournaments/Pick-up Games: If you weren't aware that this was possible, your head must be exploding. Yes, you can play Tecmo Super Bowl online against human opponents. Getting setup can be difficult for first-timers, but we're all first-timers at some point, right? If you have a question, or if you're looking to explore how far to take your interest of playing TSB online, you're going to want to check this forum out. Feel free to ask for help! There are plenty of TecmoBowl.org members who would be happy to oblige.

5. Download Custom TSB Game Files (ROMs) and/or Game Management/Editing Programs: If you're looking to play custom Tecmo Super Bowl ROMs created by community members just like yourself, then this is the place for you. Here's where you'll find our forum dedicated to uploading/downloading game ROM files, Tecmo Super Bowl hacking information, "How-To" answer threads, user-made TSB editing and game management programs, and all sorts of information on playing Tecmo Super Bowl using your PC, MAC, new and old game console, hand-held, and smart phone!

6. The Off-Topic Forum: If you just want to chill out and write about whatever. Your topic could be about NFL football, or pirates, or the latest movie release, et al. The only requirement is that you not be a douche. If you're the kind of person who is a douche at heart, that's O.K., we're not here to judge; just be smart about it. Generally, inflammatory rhetoric or just common douchery is frowned upon. TSB fans come in all ages, and all ages are welcome, but TecmoBowl.org is an adult-centric forum.

7. TecmoBowl.org Feedback: Have a question or comment about the Website? Maybe an idea to throw our way? Looking to help out somehow? Have a notion on how to organize the forum content with more precision? Got an idea for the TecmoBowl.org homepage? Drop us a line. No idea is irrelevant and all opinions are welcomed!

And finally, we'd like to take a moment to point you to some of our favorite forum topics located across multiple boards...
