  1. 2020 was a trying time for the world and this website unfortunately was no exception. Like most any forum/message board, TBorg was a place where you might find collaboration or conflict. Over the last few years there had been increasing conflict over in-person and/or paid entry Tecmo tournaments that seemed to provide some with the misplaced sentiment that a 20+ year old video game was some sort of fledgling e-sport to be capitalized on. This conflict unfortunately devolved to the point that litigation was brought against some long-time members, something certainly to avoid. In lieu of just closing down forever, the site is returning with a few noteworthy modifications. The site's forums will no longer be publicly viewable and the site will no longer make any effort to promote in-person and/or paid entry Tecmo tournaments. It's a hope this site will go about releasing new versions of Tecmo Super Bowl. It's a hope to take the 20+ years’ worth of information on this site and start organizing it in a more straightforward manner. It's a hope to return to the roots of the vision for this site: a site dedicated to the storage of Tecmo Super Bowl back-ups, the development of patches to update and enhance the game, and the retention of all things Tecmo Super Bowl related. It's a hope this site will be around another 20 years. Welcome back.

  2. Hello all, Over a period of years I managed to reverse engineer the entire Tecmo Super Bowl game into 6502 assembly source code with every piece of code documented and every variable labeled. There was a potential project in the works with said code but that project looks all but dead now. Because of that I am targeting the 30 year anniversary of TSB as the date I will publicly post all of the reverse engineered source code. -Bruddog

  4. Prior to 1912 there was no end zone and the goal line and end line were the same. With the introduction of the forward pass, the end zone was devised as a way for a receiver to catch a ball inbounds. Goal posts remained on the goal line until 1927 when they were moved to the back of the endzone. While they remained there in the college game the NFL in 1933 moved them back to the goal line until 1974 when they were once again moved to the end line. Thus Super Bowls 1-8 plus any AFL seasons would have goalpost located at the front of the endzone and @fgqb#19nyj was kind enough to put together a tutorial on how to easily add this to your custom rom.

  5. There is a rumor floating around out there that part of the reason that Tecmo Koei has been remaking the 1993 SNES version of Tecmo Super Bowl is in part due to them not being able to locate the original source code to the cult classic 1991 NES release of Tecmo Super Bowl. Today I'm happy to report that a decompiled version by @bruddog has been released to Github, making the source code for the original game available to anyone with interest in digging into the secrets of the game. For those unfamiliar, Nintendo Entertainment System games are written in 6502 assembly code which is then optimized into kilobyte sized files that a NES can execute. In some ways, trying to interpret them as a human is akin to taking a book run through a shredded and taping the paper back together shred by shred. Per the release, this is "An exhaustive disassembly of the NES game Tecmo Super Bowl into a byte-for-byte re-build of the original game". @bruddog has gone through the trouble of "every last instruction and memory location" while even guessing at unused code in the game. Due to the licensed images and characters in the game you will need to secure your own copy of TSB in order to complete the data required to compile a new game. This operation will also create a decompiled and commented source code. For most, the tools we have more modifying the current game will be adequate and this will simply be a curiosity. For others, this will be a way to more effectively create modifications without needing to tediously try and decipher source code. Perhaps this will one day you'll see a new retro type game release that plays exactly like the old NES Tecmo Super Bowl. You can find the release at https://github.com/bruddog/Tecmo_Super_Bowl_NES_Disassembly You'll need to have a Windows machine or else bring your own version of a 6502 compiler to the party. I've not only verified that this works but also that if you're having trouble it's because you haven't taken the time to fully read through the build instructions.

  7. Piggybacking off the success of Pokeman Go, Tecmo Co. has decided to tap into their popular Tecmo Bowl franchise and release their version of an augment reality game where players are to go out and track down as many Tecmo players as they can find. "We've found that there is a market for this combination of nostalgia and recreation" said company spokesperson Fakati Persono. "Our characters will be located on the blockpass chain which will lead to non-fungable Tecmo (NFTs) For more information, check the date of posting for this completely fabricated story.

  8. This is our annual collaborative Tecmo Super Bowl release of the current NFL season which is rated in what is considered to be "OG Style" which is another way of saying the range of ratings reflects the original release. This is very much a collaborative release as up until about a week ago I don't think I'd ever personally edited a mini-helmet and tend to stay away from graphics in general. Hopefully you'll enjoy and check out the other roms listed here which can have very innovative modifications, styles and advanced difficulty levels.

  9. Guys, For many years you have asked to make a Knobbe.org/TecmoBowl.org shirt. Well, guess what?! It finally happened! This is a ringspun cotton shirt with a soft ink print. It is super comfy. 100% of all shirt proceeds go to T-Borg. This is important because there is a big site upgrade coming and with that comes added expenses. The goal of this is to offset its cost and to help paying for all server costs moving forward. We have big plans for the Borg coming up. Let's do this! You can scoop the shirt here: tecmobowl.co/TborgTee $22+shipping $24 for 2XL & 3XL.

  11. For as long as I can remember I have never thought that the official North American release day for Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES was known. Wikipedia, your encyclopedia in the cloud has always listed the North American release as "December, 1991" while listing a very specific "December 13th, 1991" for the Japanese release. Any other sort of internet deep dive would come up with the same result: no one listed the specific day on which this game was released. Try searching for "Tecmo Super Bowl release date" on Google or Bing now. The result is quite different because wikipedia is now different. I had noticed back in Oct of 2018 that the Tecmo Super Bowl Wikipedia page had been updated with the North American release day. Anyone can update a Wikipedia page and anyone can view what has been changed and who changed it. It's possible to create an account on Wikipedia and this will show you what pages or talk has come from this specific user. If you don't create an account, you can still update a page but the site will list your IP address instead. On Dec 10 of 2017 someone updated the release date of Tecmo Super Bowl from December of 1991 to Friday, December 13th, 1991 The updated user wasn't a registered account on Wikipedia so the IPv6 address "2600:1700:8880:6410:3935:833B:C73E:466F" was credited for the update. This is an address registered through AT&T and unless there is some other record associated with this address around this time there is no way to trace this short of having AT&T search through there records for it. When you drill down into the contributions of this user, you find a pattern: This person, or bot, systematically updated 23 different game release dates over the course of an hour on Dec 10, 2017. One could surmise from this list of completely random games that this was the work of someone with a general interest in NES games, not a Tecmo Super Bowl enthusiast. Why were these particular games selected and if someone did have a list of releases dates for video game in North America 25+ years ago where exactly did they get it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2600:1700:8880:6410:3935:833B:C73E:466F At the end of the day though the question remains: Was Tecmo Super Bowl released on Dec 13, 1991? The answer is doubtful and let me explain why. Tecmo was a Japanese company and like many while they maintained a office in the U.S. most were headquartered out of Japan. If you look through dates for video game releases you'll see a couple of things. Japanese video games are most often released on a Monday or a Friday US releases rarely, if ever, occur on the same calendar day as the Japanese release. It makes sense for a release to occur before a weekend, right? Friday before a weekend seems the most logical as a person might purchase the game with the intent of playing it for the weekend. You'll see that December 13, 1991 is a Friday. However, while it is Friday in Japan it's actually Thursday in the US. As you start to find some games with actual release dates in the US you'll see Thursday and my guess would be because this is Friday to the bosses back in Japan. If there was an official release date for Tecmo Super Bowl that paralleled the Japanese release, it would most likely be Thursday, Dec 12, 1991. It's most probable though that even though this would have been a very highly anticipated sequel worthy of an official release date that the company most likely shipped product to retailers to be sold upon arrival. While unsatisfying, "December, 1991" probably is most accurate. I would welcome any sort of help in answering this question and please comment on this article or send an email to [email protected].

  12. Another year, another prediction as Kansas City returns to try to repeat as Super Bowl winners whereas "Tompa Bay" put behind some early seasons growing pains to become a force in the NFC. Given odds makers have the Chiefs winning by around 3 with an over/under of 56, you'll find that this simulation manages to mirror that consensus.

  13. The Tecmobowl.org yearly release is just hours before the first game of the NFL kicks off. Probably the most noteworthy item not in our notes is the change in the intro screen of Aaron Rodgers, Todd Gurley, and JJ Watt to Patrick Mahomes, Ezekiel Elliott, and Aaron Donald in addition to a recent Bill Belichick quote. In addition to ranking the glamour positions like quarterback, running back, and wide receiver each year this is a laundry list of updates which include updating helmets rating 160 offensive linemen editing the simulation rankings for 800 players editing the jersey numbers for 960 players changing the pro bowl players updating the playbooks and team simulation rankings updating the schedule burning through the rom to check for any crashing bugs It's a lot of hours but something I enjoy putting together each year with help where ever I can find it. I hope you enjoy it. You can follow the link right below to download

  16. It's been known for a while that Tecmo Super Bowl had some text in it relating to penalties in addition to unused "Sound 32" You might have missed, like I did back in 2009, that there was an actual set of penalty cut screens still in the game. Today I stumbled across this and thanks to this handy spreadsheet, inserted them in place of the intro screen event to see them in action. Here's a video [size=4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4iEaHDEp54 Also I've uploaded a rom where the intro and start screen are replaced with the penalty cut screens in case you want to see it in action.

If you find any misspellings or wrong numbers, please feel free to hit our forums and let us know. This is our release candidate and we will surely update this as we progress. You can suggest that we make your favorite players awesomer....but we probably won't. That sort of stuff is based on assumptions and we're sticking with ours!

  20. Just in time for the Super Bowl, it's the end of season release of long time TSB modder @SBlueman. This meticulous release comes in three flavors: Vanilla, Hard Type, and Hard Type-Road Team as player 2. Don't let the 'Vanilla' moniker fool you as there is a laundry list of modification from the original game besides the roster updates. For instance, the touchback has been changed to the 25 yard line and the extra point attempt has been moved back to the 15 yard line. There are logic changes like the computer taking less sacks or not kicking a FG too early towards the end of the half. Little things like the animation of the QB being changed as he dropped back...did you see it? To quote Shawshank, " I mean, seriously, how often do you look at a man's shoes?" Please click the above link to read through the list of 30 changes for yourself. The Hard Type versions are for the "do you even lift, bro" Tecmo crowd as the famed Tecmo Juice gets turned up quickly and the CPU quarterback starts throwing at the receivers you're not covering. Come get some. You can find this in our download section or at http://sblueman.com

  23. -= DOWNLOAD HERE =- Tecmo Super Bowl is the greatest sports video game of all time. Now, 23 years after TSB made 8-Bit legends of Bo Jackson and Lawrence Taylor, TecmoBowl.org proudly announces the release of Tecmo Super Bowl 2015. This site's 8th yearly iteration updates Tecmo's NES classic with up-to-date rosters, graphics, schedules and play books for all 32 NFL squads. Additionally, the 4-3 defense has been added for teams who run this base defense. Playable on multiple platforms and operating systems via NES emulation software, Tecmo Super Bowl 2015 brings Nintendo's bone-crunching classic to today's computers and handheld devices. Will offenses fear Patrick Peterson like they feared Rod Woodson? Who is the more deadly play-caller: Peyton Manning or Joe Montana? Will Matt Schaub have a Grogan-esque ending to his career? Loaded into an NES Emulator, Tecmo Super Bowl 2015 will make legends for the next 23 years. Tecmo Super Bowl 2015 Table of Contents A. How This Works B. How To Play - PC/Mac C.

Pass Control determines if a pass will be completed. Passing Accuracy determines if the ball will be on target. Quickness now works. This will be the maximum speed of a defender if they pick up a fumble or make an interception In order to get the proper Pro Bowl players, you may need to reset the season from the Schedule menu ProBowl rosters are based on the new fantasy "Rice vs Deion" format. At this time you are not able to replace players from either conference. E.

  24. MARCH: 2. Jstout makes it so the computer QB will try to throw to an open receiver rather than relying only on the random chances set in the play design http://tecmobowl.org/topic/53837-cpu-find-open-receiver/ JUNE: 3. My hack allows for seperate pass block and run block skills. HP vs HP is used for run blocking and offensive RS vs defensive MS is used for pass blocking. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/55420-run-blockpass-block-hack/ 4. My hack that lets you throw lob passes by pressing the start button http://tecmobowl.org/topic/55448-use-start-instead-of-b-button-to-throw-lob-passes/ 5. My special teams hack that lets you return punts out of the endzone, fair catch punts, touchback kickoffs, take instant timeouts by pressing start, and down the ball by pressing select. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/55558-time-out-touchback-fair-catch-kneel-hack/ 6. Jstout posts a great guide about programming the NES complete with various examples. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/55469-nes-programming-info/ JULY 7. I post information on how to change the fumble and onside kick recovery time. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/55841-change-average-fumble-and-onside-recovery-time/ 8. My hack that lets you load in conditions at the start of a game. This makes it possible to have online leagues that carry over conditions week to week. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/56044-hack-to-load-in-starters-playbook-conditions-at-game-start/ AUGUST 9. My no huddle hack that gives the defense 1 second after the offense has picked their play to pick a play or else they get a play picked for them. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/56328-no-huddle-offense/page-2 SEPTEMBER 10. xplosv' hack that lets you jump and dive for passes by pressing B. He also creates a hack that lets you throw to receivers in "madden style" by pressing a button that targets a WR. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/57066-tsb-passing-revolution/ 11. I found a way to change the success rate when trying to bump a player off a grapple. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/56716-changing-the-bumping-probability-success-rate/ 12 My hack where diving ability is based on HP. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/57169-diving-time-based-on-hp/ OCTOBER My amazing hack where players engaged in grapples move forwards or backwards. This makes OL play look very realistic. It also allows high HP RB's to push low HP defenders forwards. http://tecmobowl.org/topic/57127-push-pull-hack-by-bruddog/ In progress 1. 2pt conversion- I just need time to work on this and squeeze it into the 32 team rom somehow Future ideas: 1. Ability table for certain teams to be better at causing fumbles 2. Ability table for player specific injury rates If I forgot anything major let me know

  25. He was featured on NFL Film's documentary on Tecmo Super Bowl. It was only fitting that he become the first person known to propose via Tecmo Super Bowl. After receiving a beatdown from his soon to be fiance, Chris brought up a hacked rom popping the question. Congratulations from us all. You can see the full video here

  29. All, Before this site existed, Puretecmo was around allowing people to connect via 56k modems to play Tecmo Super Bowl over the internet. In the following decade the site as helped many players, both offline and online, become better Tecmo players by honing and fine tuning their strategy over the years. For the last several years I've been running both sites to a point and the various disconnects between the online playing leagues and the producers of hacked roms has always confused me a bit. Finally we have the capability to marry these two sites and I've scheduled it for this weekend. This has been something that the members of Puretecmo have known about for a while but I wanted to wait until I finalized a moving date to announce on this site. Be prepared for downtime all Saturday and to welcome the new and old members of Puretecmo.
