On December 13th, 1991 Tecmo, Inc followed up on the success of the wildly popular Tecmo Bowl by giving us mere mortals the gift of Tecmo Super Bowl, the first video game to ever feature all NFL teams, players, and given some tricks was able to give us 11 on 11 football on a system like the NES that didn't suck. (Have you ever played 10 Yard Fight? If so, you'll appreciate the programming job here that was on par with Super Mario III)
Bo Jackson had already received cult like status through the 9 on 9 game of Tecmo Bowl but it was this game that cemented one of the most polarizing athletes in the pantheon of video game athletes. For many people, this game is the reason why they might view good players like Christian Okoye and David Fulcher in the same regards as HOF'ers Joe Montana and Lawrence Taylor.
Everyone has a story about Tecmo Super Bowl. What is yours? We'd love to know. Post it here or in our forums.
