Unlike Tecmo Super Bowl for NES, the Nintendo DS revival, Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff features fictional teams, and not any NFL teams or likenesses. You select from 32 pre-made teams, ranging from the Baltimore Bulldozers to the Los Angeles Supercocks (no jokes please), then hit the field and prove your gridiron dominance. This game is strictly about old-school gameplay, so don't look for any fancy touch screen controls. It's all about using the d-pad and buttons to execute plays and see how your strategies hold up against a tough offense or defense.
GamesBeat compiled a list of options for forlorn college football fans.
Man, who wants to start a Tecmo Bowl league with me? Does it work online? Can I make my own college teams? ... I'm gonna have to look into this.
Dude I am ready. I don't know if you can make your own teams, but you can definitely do online stuffs.
With the Superbowl just around the corner. it’s time to take a look back at the series that kicked off video game football: Tecmo Bowl
Kombo writes: "Tecmo Bowl is like a religion to football fans of the NES/SNES generations. Before there was a Madden, 2K, Quarterback Club, or Blitz, there was Tecmo Bowl. Many would argue that Tecmo's take on the sport was a perfect game-a teetering balance between simulation and arcade playability with a dose of sometimes unintended comedy on the side."
