Tecmo Super Bowl help needed

[godsey1]

I sold a Tecmo Super Bowl on E-Bay last week, and just got this e-mail from the buyer:


Hi--I received the Tecmo Bowl game in the mail today--it seems to work fine, except I am unable to reset the SEASON mode (it appears a season has been played all the way through and I can't reset the information to start a new one.) Is there a way to do this? If not, I'd like to get a refund.
Thanks for your help.

I need to know how to start a new game on it. I have not play this game, I just cleaned it and tested it. Any help would be appreacitated,

There should be a way to end the season by playing the Super Bowl probably. He might just need to play or sim the last game.

I was trying to think of the main screen, and I can't remember what the options are. I may have to try and find one tomorrow, and find out my self if no one on here can help.

Dude just play the game on an emulator and figure it out that way.

I don't do the emulator's, I need all the space on my computer(it has a very small hard drive).

Tony

Not to sidetrack the conversation at hand, but Tecmo Super Bowl is approximately 200k. You have more hard drive space taken up by the graphics displayed on this very page in your termporary internet files directory.

Dude, the emulator along with the game ROM will be like 700k. Come on, man.

I didn't know that the files were that small @_@ . I may try to find it tomorrow and download it.

OK Mr Lazy.

Tell the guy to go Season Game -> Schedule -> Highlight any game and press A -> Select "Reset" -> Select "Yes" -> Select "Yes" again.

Then shit will restart at week 1 and he can go from there.

Thanks for the info, it has been e-mailed to them. I'll post the out come,

Tony

I also suggested that if they have the security bit that takes the cartridges apart, to take the battery out of it and see what that does.

[Jibbajaba]

Thanks for the info, it has been e-mailed to them. I'll post the out come,

Tony

Please do. This guy sounds like a handful.

Wants a refund if he can't figure out how to reset the season... Sheesh.

Chris

It seems like there are getting to be more and more difficult people on E-Bay now a days.

Tony

[godsey1]

Here's the e-mail I got back from them:


Thank you so much! We were able to restart it
according to your instructions.

It worked!!! Thanks to all and Jibbajaba, a special thanks to you for the right way of doing it,

LOL

funny thread

you would think he would look for an answer to his question online first before requesting a refund...

[godsey1]

You stay on line long enough, and you'll see just about everything @_@

Hey guys, I know this thread doesnt need to be bumped, but I just got this game today. Would like to thank the ppl that shared the info on how to start a brand new season. Thanks.

I find it funny that he would want a refund if he can't reset the season... what is another cart going to be different where you could reset that season more easily?

Some people...
