Old school gamers and inept Madden Players, look out! Here comes Tecmo Bowl
Long considered the "gold standard" for football games, it looks like Tecmo Bowl is being resurrected for mobile gaming. For those of you unwilling or unable to read defenses or avoid the blitz on Madden or ESPN football, this games for you.

Readers cant tall that finbogg isnt a Sega mark or anything.
I hate to break it to him, but those of us raised on a NES didnt get Madden at the same time you did. Tecmo Bowl and Super Tecmo Bowl bring back great memories of childhood.
Just because you believe someone is unwilling or unable to do something you prefer makes them less than you? How about the fact that some people liked the arcade style of the game. NFL Blitz ring a bell?
And Im sorry, but when I can hold my opponents (in Super Tecmo Bowl and Super Tecmo Bowl III) to zero (0) points and negative total yards for a season, Ive done pretty well "reading" an offense or defense.

Yeah, I must agree, I still perfer arcade sports to sim sports. I mean, basketball is fun on the court, and the closest thing to it is a fast paced arcade style game..
Having a shot or a pass take near a minute is just gah.
The same goes for football, the times I have played with people all I know is
tackle guy with ball
run to end zone
pass when needed
Arcade games do that, without having to deal with blue 39 red 63 hut thunder side nickel long shot or whatever these plays are called

Umm yeah dude, that was kind of meant to be a joke. A lot of people on this forum have complained about the latest wave of football games being too hard and too much geared to simulation (knowing how to read a defense etc.). Usually in these threads people bring up their love of the old Tecmo Bowl and how you could throw 90+yard bombs etc. I was playing off of that. Relax.

Tecmo Bowl was the original. Joe Montant Sports Talk Football '93 (or was it '94) paid homage to tecmo bowl in one of the "views." There was an overview screen that looked like tecmo bowl....it went left to right.
This is like comparing Blades Of Steel to NHL '94+. They are totally different games. The fighting in Blades of Steel was WAY better then in NHL 'XX.

Am I the only one that thought Super Tecmo Bowl was better than Tecmo Bowl? I could never stop playing that game. Tecmo should definately relase that as an old school disc with some other games.

I'm with Trigger... Super Tecmo Bowl is definately my favorite, although I have very little experience with the original Tecmo Bowl...
Anyway, I would definately be interested in getting this released, whether on GBA or on a compilation disc. Anything but my phone...

But I really don't understand the plays that much in ESPN or Madden. I just pick a run or pass and do my thing. Which, at a lower difficulty setting, is much easier to accomplish.

Or if you are like me and like to see your RB rack up a couple thousand yards per game on rookie level.

Yeah, I know what you mean. There was a certain satisfaction about scoring 8 TD's in a game with my QB

Playing Super Tecmo Bowl in '95 was the last time I've ever been able to beat my friend at video game football. Bo Jackson was unstopable!
I wish they'd make a GBA version.
