I don't get those buttons either. I drove myself crazy trying to figure out how to put myself on the map. I just assumed it wasn't gonna work with my Android mobile & Linux browsers or something.

what is your favorite aspect of Tecmo Super Bowl?
Matty Ice replied to TeCmO_sUpEr_BoWl's topic in Tecmo Super Bowl - NES
It's a great distillation of football. It's like taking a time release football pill, freebasing the active ingredients, grinding it up mixed with saline solution and mainlining that shit into your aortas. You only get a couple possessions per quarter so they are all crucial. Every score or defensive stop or turnover is a great victory. The little cinema scenes add to the drama nicely because you don't know what's about to happen, if you're getting a miracle block or INT and so on. The music is great as well. I'm glad they put a little time & talent into that department, because they could just as easily have decided not to bother. The presentation & sheer depth of the gameplay is just about perfectly placed between overblown and barebones. Plenty of character and subtlety without being pretentious. I've been catching up on Angry Video Game Nerd on youtube recently & looking at some of the worst crap the NES and other classic consoles had to offer, games i may only have read about briefly in Nintendo Power or heard vague rumors about when I was young. Tecmo's little football game seems like a more impressive achievement every day. -

I'm trying to put myself in snoop dogg's shoes... playing Tecmo on my small TV with Sunday Night Football on my big tv, get high as f---, see my Tecmo team's running back on television, I guess I'll pick up the phone and holla at him. Boss -
Tecmo style real life interception return for a touchdown
Matty Ice replied to powerade's topic in Tecmo Super Bowl - NES
He had to run through a gauntlet of touch football tackles for that one. -
Sorry I already finished the season and started over with KC. Iirc N.E. was still about 1-5 or 2-5 at that point and Grogan dropped off the list pretty fast. But for a short time the planets were aligned just so, such that the combined gravitational field pulled all of Grogan's passes towards Irving Fryar ( concurrently the league leading receiver)

Playing Eagles season. See attached image. Is this a glitch? Or is it another sign of the end times like the 2 New Moons last month?

Welcome! The Official Introductions / First Post Thread
Matty Ice replied to Knobbe's topic in Getting Started
Hey I'm Matt. I have recently gotten into TSB as part of an overall NES kick. I kept my console from when I was 4 years old and have been buying up games I missed out on, including TSB or basically anything that wasnt Mario or TMNT. Historically I haven't been into pro football or sports games (a coworker gave me this nickname and I didn't know who it came from at the time) but TSB just has dat je ne sais quoi. When I played it, I just knew. Now I'm old enough with my own place & free time to watch sports on TV so I have been trying to catch up. I lurk here a lot reading up on the game (Mort strategies and tournament vids etc)& ordered a 2017 cart so I thought I might as well register in case I feel like saying something. I'm a noob but if anyone else from the land of the Crimson Tide wants to play sometime , hit me up. I would hate to keep these carts to myself forever.
