1. The GOAT?
2. Your favorite team? Why?
3. Nuances that make the game so great?

WARNING: This isn't amateur hour, people. If you bring weak, lazy opinions, prepare to be ridiculed. A Tecmo thread deserves better!

1. Bo Jackson
2. Raiders because he was unstoppable
3. All you had to do was run him in diagonals rotating toward the top of the screen then the bottom and repeat all the way to the endzone

In #1 I meant is the game the GOAT? You're welcome to add your favorite player, though.

Anyone remember the Chargers plays? Labeled as "Butts - Butts - Early - Butts". That was funny to me as a kid.

This. All day long. Every day. Period. Not only that, but the Eagles are the best team on the game, and it's not close. Bo Jackson may be the fastest player on the game, but QB Eagles is more dynamic. I'm getting too fired up right now. Will have to develop my argument when I'm off this stupid Blackberry.

I used to love this game. I honestly cannot remember what teams I used because of having too much fun during highschool-college. I remember it was the main thing I wanted for Christmas when it came out. Didn't this game have cheats to it?
I also remember having John Elway's QB game, and Tecmo bowl blew it out of the water.

Chiefs. Between Okoye, Derrick Thomas, and a decent enough receiving corps (Birden, Paige), the Chiefs are the only team that an excellent player could use to beat another excellent player with the 49ers.

Blocking FGs makes this game even more legitimate.

Da Bears..Walter Payton
and Raiders but I would play action Bo Jack and throw it to Willie Gault.

Man I hated playing against the Eagles if Qb Eagles was in good health. Dude would drop back and run half the time. Hard to keep low rushing yardage.

I remember liking the Giants just because of Lawrence Taylor. Dude was a brick wall. I never even dove to tackle. Just run into them and they'd go down with no struggle. Used to injure tons of rbs/wrs/qbs like that.

QB Eagles could always be counted on to be carted off in the second quarter.

Hell no. It was the first game to implement the NFL license with the players association's consent in a game and it was fun.... for 1991.

Not true. Good points though. Chiefs are very good, top 3 imo but not the best. Chiefs have great D and good plays. They aren't, however, quite as good as Philly. Eagles are stacked on D as well. I don't like any one player as good as DT, but they are very good at several positions. QB Eagles is easily the most unstoppable player in the game in head-to-head matchups. Once you master the roll-out run-pass option, only turnovers can stop you.

Chiefs and 49ers are both good(I put NYG up there as well) , but not as good as Philly. I'm glad you brought up the human element though. Almost everyone thinks they're great at this game because they rushed for 2500 yds and 30 tds or whatever with Bo Jackson in a season. Playing other people is a different animal altogether and the only true test of Tecmo acumen.

Truth.

As for the better plays, though; I know few people that actually play with the teams' default playbooks. One is best served to spend an extra five minutes ensuring that they have a maximum of two formations and four plays out of both formations.

I agree with you about picking plays. One of our quirks, I guess, is that we didn't allow this so a team's plays was always huge. My friends and I always did blind pick and you got what you got. We played thousands of head-to-head games like this.

I'd try to avoid having a pass play that wasn't in the same formation as a run play(or vice versa). If you have the standout formations that were pass or run only it was too predictable.

Games have certainly advanced technologically, but I've never enjoyed one as much. Not even close.

Yup. Good times. My brother and I would do this a lot.

He was annoying playing against on the original Tecmo Bowl though. The 49ers had one play where Rice or one of the receiver's ran a crossing route. Was near impossible to stop cause the guy would dive and never drop it. Even if I used a corner and stood in the spot on the x his receiver would still catch it. Rarely and INT or incomplete. That's all he'd do. Lame.

Definitely. The worst is vikings and cardinals. All variants of the flea-flicker and reverse are unusable against anyone who knows what they're doing. One little bit of joy I always got against players I knew would suck is running the flea-flicker every single play until they caught on.

Man this is making me want to play. I don't have an NES anymore. Good times. Another rule we had was banning the nose guard dive that blows up almost every play. You could use the nose guard, just couldn't dive with him immediately.
