Osi celebrated that first touchdown by shitting on Tom Brady.
Is it Tecmo Bowl or Tecmo Super Bowl? Because I have no interest in watching that new-fangled bastardization of the game that made Cap Boso famous.
How come the first kickoff almost went out of the stadium and second barely made the 20? Tynes is inconsistent even in video games.
I thought that Brady would have more pick-sels.
So I lost interest around minute 2, but I did enjoy the dramatic background music and the purple patriots.
Hey what gives? They skipped the Mighty Bombjack Half-time show.
@Barry Lutz: Tecmo Super Bowl. The original Tecmo Bowl had Cap Boso.
Is this what you all want? Are you not entertained?
Needs more Bo Jackson
I can't believe I just watched that entire thing. I should fire myself.
Tecmo Brady is almost as good as the real Brady, except for throwing left-handed, and banging less super models.
The Patriots have the worst playbook ever in that, or just the worst team ever. One of the two.
I miss Ex-Burgh Guy. Whatever happened to him? He disappeared after like week 11 last season.
It's comforting to know there are people out there that squander their free time in even more worthless pursuits than me.
If the orginal Tecmo version of Lawrence Taylor was in this game, The Pats would lose 56 to 14. That motherf'er was all that and a bag of chips.
Sorry, I only get my Super Bowl predictions from camels.
I did a simulation for my dinner tonight by playing a game of Burger Time.
Eli should've just ran for the first down on that last 3rd and 3.
/blurring reality
The Orioles won my Base Wars season simulation. But simple video games don't factor in the realism that Peter Angelos won't fork over money for the battle gimmicks.
I wonder if Pats fans even know of anyone on the 1991 roster.
@RedDear: The Pats existed in 1991? Did they win all the time back then, too?
Derrick Thomas would have blocked every extra point
My Burnout! simulation just completed, and let me tell you, it is going to be an interesting drive home from work tonight.
Belichick is so FETCHING when he cleans up!

Tecmo Bowl Playbook > Chiefs Playbook
they're running on 4th and 3 with 30 seconds left? i call shenanigans.
So, there aren't going to be any Puntkicks in the Superbowl?
Way to try and run up the score at the end there Belichek... masshole
@BloggyMcBlogBlog: Thanks for the warning. Somebody tell me when they simulate the game on the REAL Tecmo Bowl.
When are we going to get a Tecmo simulation of the DSRL Championship?
But where's the Tecmo Bowl version of Puppy Bowl?
@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: When did Norv start calling plays for the Giants?
@RedDear: The hell I don't.
Which QB would you like me to wax rhapsodic about -- Huge Millen or Tommy Hodson? Shall I expound upon the grace and dignity that was the Irving Fryar experience? Or should the conversation instead turn to the stoic might of John Stephens or Ray Agnew? In the end, it doesn't matter, because local-boy-made-good Greg McMurtry is going to take the NFL by storm, I tell ya!
I've been saying this all along, for the Giants to win they must establish a pass rush by calling the exact same play as the Patriots. If they can do this, then Brady won't be able to do what he does best which is drop back 40 yards and throw to Moss deep.
I'd like to see a simulation of a trip to Arizona using Toejam & Earl.
@stjoehawk: Mike Vick is working on it.
@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: Bo would have run out 29 seconds, scored a touchdown, and with the 1 second left, thrown another touchdown to himself on the 2 point conversion.
But what color was the Gatorade?
Coughlin really was calling plays on that final drive.
I saw a tiny little tecmo camera filming the Giants sidelines. Tiny little cheaters!
@Gourmet Spud: So sad, yet so true.
@daver4470: Best wikipedia profile ever: [en.wikipedia.org]
@stjoehawk: that's called Nintendogs, dear.
@Jehovahs Witness Protection Program:
No that's realistic, Coughlin's a moron.
I ran my own simulation of the game. Brady is killed by a walking mushroom after successfully warping to level 8.
@Camp Tiger Claw: Oh crap, I had forgotten about the pool hall fight. Good times... good times...
Hart Lee was a great player, assuming you don't expect your WRs to know how to run a route or go over the middle.
Bad clock management, interceptions at critical moments, the Patriots winning by 3 -- my God, it's like watching Super Bowl XXXIX all over again.
/throws up in mouth
Best. Video game. Ever.
This brings back horrible memories, though, of when I threw my NES out of my dorm window after I bombed an econ exam and the game wouldn't work.
It seemed pretty accurate except for the lack of Tom Brady riding a Segway while holding the Super Bowl trophy shouting "everyone sucks but me".
@HugsFromHarold:
Yeah, I watched the end and thought, "hey, that's some terrible playcalling and clock management," but then i realized that it was totally realistic.
hbfivehbdivehbdivehbdivehbdive....
Eli made some questionable decisions. No idea why he didn't run for the first down on two occasions late and also why he kept trying to force the ball in to Burress when Moss was open. And that pick in the endzone was ugly.
And why the hell was Belichick trying to run it up with under a minute left?
Tom Brady even knows how to run between the tackles! That guy is just too good.
Then again, Brady has shown himself to be a natural at hitting the holes, hasn't he?
No way Welker is that open, that often.
That simulation was also lacking in the emo bangs department.
I ran a my own simulation also. Brady and Eli both got stuck in their own massive bubbles and couldn't escape because they ate way too many pieces of fruit and cake. Also, they had to use a cheat because Bubble Bobble takes ages to beat otherwise.
1991 Tecmo Lions would have beaten 2007 Tecmo Pats. You couldnt stop Barry Sanders
