  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. 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!
  3. Augie - Tecmo tourneys in CT are still going on, be great if you reconnected w the community!

      It's been forever since we talked. I wonder what he's up to these days.

  15. Found some info about: http://snescentral.com/review.php?id=0707&num=0&fancy=yes&article=proto
  16. I’ll buy it from you if looking for get rid of it (as well as replace w the same cartridge that has the stock SNES label on it if want).
  17. I’ll be at Bradley International Airport (Windsor Locks CT) Friday 3-330 picking up a couple ppl flying In for tourney - if can get flight lands around same time!
  18. Here’s the hotel everyone stays at across street from the tourney
  19. Friday night at the Tundra bowl National CHampionship there's going to be 2 vs 2 team Tecmo tourney ! 1 person is going to win the raffle for an entire trip to Wisconsin for the tourney!! We have the room at Blackstone for the entire day + night! Will be no rushing to leave for another party/etc. we have stuff going on from 9am all night if you want to stay that late playing Tecmo (as well as other games w/ the NES Everdrive hooked up w/ every game for NES made on there in addition to every year rosters for Tecmo from 2010 - current 2019/20! IF there's another game you're interested in playing let me know we can set it up if other ppl want to run vs you for Saturday as well as FRiday ngiht at hotel!
  20. in addition there will be a Calcutta to wager on for everyone there! Someone will walk away w/ a few hundred $ by choosing the winner of the tourney before it starts! We will start off w the top finishers from last year's tourney & start bidding at $10 Anyone can bid & highest bidder gets that person - if they win the tourney they get the pot! Once all of the top finishers have been taken we will go through & offer a "field bet" for everyone left - if anyone from the field wins the tourney whoever has them wins the pot $!
  21. Unfort haven’t received much love from ESPN. Being approx 5 min away from Blackstone, where tourney is & ESPN hosts / crew go there all of the time too. Thought we had had a good chance at them coming when Rob reale was working as camera man there / he tried and spread the word to everyone but their feelings were that it’s really dope we are going to do tecmo tourneys but being a Saturday during NCAA football & towards end of NFL Season they must be slammed w work & not able to spend a full Saturday away from the station / campus. Couple of the guys - Steve Young + few others that are in TSB were in the 20-30k range to have them there for the day so unfort not in the budget. Would REALLY like to get Grogan or Marv Cook there one of these years. I’ve reached out to pretty much every former NFL that is in TSB & from CT but unfort no responses - thought Doug Widell might have jumped on it but he must already Be booked for video game appearances that date.
  22. https://retroworldexpo.com/ Next Saturday! I will be setting up next Friday and have some guest passes for free entrance to the event for my online guys that show up! they have tons of stuff going on both days Saturday & Sunday! Tecmo Super Bowl will Be Saturday 11am - 6pm
  23. will add tap meter in next revision ? (please)
