TecmoBowl

This shit cracks me up and brings back great memories of playing TecmoBowl in college while eating chicken pot pies (5 for $1.) Before the kids of today whose video games are scary real and can launch spacecraft, and after Rrthur's day where the kids would play a spirited game of Kick the Can, there was TecmoBowl. Hours and hours of playing, tho it was mostly for the shit-talking. Just like everything else when you're 19, I guess. I can still remember losing a game on a Jerome Brown 99-yard fumble return for a td as time expired. Here's a typical Bo Jackson play, which takes up the entire quarter. Awesome.

Yuck. I'd rather play Kick the Can than watch and listen to that.

Tecmo and most of the classic games (we had Super C, awesome!)are still better than the modern games. You actually had to control the game, not just push buttons willy-nilly and cheatcode your way to the final board.
