I can´t believe I like this game so much!

I´m not talking about any concrete game. I´m talking about not liking a game when you try it for the first time, but when you return to it a bit after, loving it. Or not trying it because you think you won´t like it, but then you do and it becomes one of your favourite games.

This happened to me with Ninja Gaiden 2 (I liked 1 a lot more) and TNMT2: The Arcade Game (I liked 3 more), but the game I never tought I´d like so much is Tecmo Super Bowl.

I live on Europe, and I´ve never seen an american football match on my life, and I don´t even know the rules. I knew that TSB was considered one of the best Nes games, but I didn´t want to play it, knowing it was a football game. I bought some games on American Ebay, and TBS was there, waiting for my bid. I read some reviews (mainly at Gamefaqs), and saw the scores were all amost 9´s and 10´s. It seems to be good, so why not? I bought it, and after receiving the games, what I found was one of the most enjoyable Nes games. Easy to play, but with lots of options and an infinite replay value, I don´t need to clarify that is now one of my favourite games for the system.

I´m pretty sure something like that has happened to you, right?

EDIT: If any of the mods sees this, this topic was intended to be on the video gaming forum. Sorry :embarrassed:

I bought this game recently on Dutch eBay (game is cheaper there than on eBay.com, most times it's the other way around, but probably because it's an American football game). I havce to try it out yet though

Startropics. The game had horrid controls, yet I play it every time I go home.

At first is a bit akward to play if you don´t know the rules, but you´ll get used to it in no time (except a few things you may not know even after some time playing it LOL ). I´ve had the game six months, and I´ve played countless singles matches and 6 entire seasons.

I'd go with the original TMNT game. I own it since 2000, but for some reason had only played it once or twice in 2000-2004 and did not like it much; I "discovered" it this year and am having a lot of fun with it.

[Incidentally, TSB is my most played game of all-time.]

WOW... I honestly can't believe you've never watched a Football game before!!! :eek 2:

Back on topic... I'm glad you like TSB, but I'm not suprised that you do. It really is one of the gems for the NES.
I always really loved SMB and SMB 3, but didn't like SMB 2 at all when I was little. This last year however I started playing SMB 2 quite a bit, since it was the only Mario game I hadn't beat before. After finally beating it, I have to admit that it is now one of my favorite games!

Why it´s so hard to believe? LOL I´ve never seen a baseball or football match on my life. Here, the king is football (sorry, soccer :P )

They hardly broadcast it here. While the super bowl was on tv here on a commercial tv station, only the freaks here are gonna watch that in the middle of the night.
