Those who are fortunate enough to have grown up with the original Nintendo Entertainment System are bound to have played Tecmo Bowl. The series was the game that originally put video game football on the map, and this was before John Madden stuck his ugly mug on every EA football game. Tecmo has now seen fit to bring back the cherished franchise on the DS, in all of its old school glory.

GamesBeat compiled a list of options for forlorn college football fans.

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."
Whoo-hoo the greatest football game soon to be on the greatest console :) Great month coming up can't wait to play some Tecmo Bowl
