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! 

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!

Hello Arncoem im new member here. Im trying to get all these Roms placed on blank nes cartridges. Along with stickers on front representing the Techmo super bowl year. If you can make these i will pay you well. I collect homebrew nes stb games. I have bought some from ebay and etsy. However i cant find any for sale below year 2010. I have 85 version with Chicago bears players doing the shuffle! I have 2002 version, 2010-2019 the decade years. I would love to buy decades version of 1980-89. 1990-99. If you can make these i will make it worthwhile. Thanks

I wonder how many people at ESPN are still into Tecmo? This is a short drive from Bristol.

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.

(*Continental breakfast at hotel is considered a meal so no bitching about liquid waffles into the plastic cup - make sure you spray the waffle maker w the aerosol butter spray or they burn!! ) 

Wow amazing ! 

I see Man crushes all over the place In those photos! 

I’m still trying to get there though- left 2 weeks ago but nobody will pick up a hitchhiker dressed as a 70s pimp holding cardboard sign “going to Leonard ND- if don’t know where that is go suck off a donkey” 

Those are old frames from awnings w out the material on them.  Will incorporate somehow to be tecmo related - worst case Raffle prizes! 

Preparations  for “freezing louis- winter 2021” are underway. 

Location - Check my yard at shop 

couch - to sit on (sleeps 2 comfortably):  see photo. Think it’s windshield washer fluid in front of it - maybe smurf spank bank 

(no FUCKING clue  where that couch came from wasn’t here this morning when I left!)

We will be dedicating one entire round in particular after your fabulous ideas. The round shall not be named here, but if you want to send a jiggly care package our way, we'll make sure to put the contents to good use. 

 

Your keg gathering abilities will be missed. 

Im currently working out an elaborate story(lie) to tell my wife where I need to travel that weekend so can attend ! 

Its going to be tricky but I’m thinking if I can somehow make her believe I need to go somewhere and use really big words she will be stumped after anything w 3 syllables & the rest will all be a hypnotic transe.  

I used work conference in fargo ND last time but she saw the bright gold Burning Mort pants when I got home so i can’t do Fargo work trip again.  

I’m thinking something along the lines of Dr Frolf got one of his expensive Drones caught in a tree & I have to drive one of work cranes to SOUTH Dakota to help retrieve it ! No way ATNB (all tits no brains)  will ever put together North & South Dakota as having anything to do w ea other.  It’s in the works! 

If im not able to attend would be amazing to have a controller or “something” signed by everyone in attendance!!

I don't want to know what jungle juice is, do I?

I would say it was your Urine that splashed the brim of my hat at 2am when the roof of Mort’s minivan almost caved in on Joey & i- when I looked out the window to see if a tree fell in it - nope just at 6 foot 8 of Josh H pissing off it.  I did lie then that the stream just missed me - but now long enough has passed I can admit the stream of Holtzbauer jungle juice did indeed hit the straw hat I had on.  

- yet again another reason why Burning Mort was the best weekend of my life!! 

I would love to attend again this year but being Neil is a newly married man I don’t think his wife would be ok w it after last year & the long “nap” Neil & I shared at his apartment before my flight home.  

Have a great time & to Neil... we will always have Fargo naptime ....
