I picked this game over the Madden series. It's easy to pick up and play on any system. NES, Genesis or the Super NES ..one of the greatest Games ever

AND it had great commercials like this one:

Ok, since we have this thread up and people agree the game rules, how about a debate on what version of Tecmo Super Bowl was the best? I guess I'd have to say the Genesis or NES versions of the first Tecmo Super Bowl.
Good idea, but it's the NES version, hands-down. The 16-bit versions were superior graphically but the gameplay just felt slightly off (though still excellent). Plus the 16-bit version came out a couple years later-- and TSB just isn't the same without classic players like Bo Jackson and Christian Okoye.
What gets me is that Tecmo Bowl just gets too much credit over Tecmo Super Bowl. I mean, I understand that the game was very influential and was a great game when it came out (1987 in arcades, 1989 on NES)... and heck, there wouldn't have been a TSB without a TB first. But TSB expanded on it so much that they're not even in the same league. So it bothers me because often when magazines or websites make lists of the best sports/football games ever, they list Tecmo Bowl rather than TSB (for example, just check out the most recent issue of Game Informer).
I hate sports games
TECMO BOWL STILL ROCKS !!
Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES is the greatest sports game ever created.
The NES version is the one I have but I cant believe I'm saying this but I havent played the Genesis version yet. I need to get right on it...like really to try it out.
The Best Fighter in HISTORY!!!
Tecmo should get back into the sports game business.
I like my Super Tecmo Bowl on the NES, but i do like Super Tecmo Bowl 3 for the SNES better. I to choose this over Madden. Hell i still do..
Original NES Tecmo Bowl, FTW! Zen like in its simplicity, yet still a blast to play seventeen years after its release. Long live Bo and the panty Raiders!

you guys are all crazy! all the Tecmo Super Bowl games suck! I would never waste my time on those games when I can play Madden! and I would never waste my time and money paying someone to update my NES version of the game with new players and stats.
ok joking aside they are making a new Tecmo Bowl game. It obviously won't have any real players or teams but not many details have been released as to what kind of game it will be yet.
My favorite is the NES "Super Tecmo Bowl" I don't know why but growing up me and my friends always called it "Super Tecmo Bowl" (see example 1 in the video posted, those are my friends) instead of "Tecmo Super Bowl" I blame the Mario games.
I also agree that Tecmo Super Bowl deserves more credit than Tecmo Bowl. For one it was the first game ever to included both the real NFL teams and NFL players. Plus it really paved the way for stat tracking in video games.
I also like the SNES and Genesis versions but they are all second to Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES

Comparing it to the Madden series really isn't fair. They're both football games, but Tecmo is more arcadey and Madden tries to be more realistic. Both are great games, but I have logged hundreds of more hours with Tecmo.
The best one is definitely Tecmo Super Bowl for NES. The next-gen releases for SNES/Genesis/PS1 range from pretty good (TSB on SNES) to eye-explodingly unplayable (TSBIII).
The ROM hacks that update the rosters to the current NFL's, and the special USFL/WFL/etc roster editions just make the series better.

Have anyone played the PS version of Tecmo Super Bowl
The best and one of the few sports games I really enjoy. What make sit fun also is that there's a few hack sout for TSB NES with updated rosters, NCAA rosters and so forth.
What's the link for them again?
My Gaming Collection (Now at Google Drive!)
I always hear about the updated rosters but I'd rather play as the NFL stars from the 80's and 90's who were originally in the game. Padding QB stats with the likes of Jim McMahon, Boomer Esiason, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway or even Jay Schroeder is infinitely better than using the likes of Michael Vick, Kyle Boller, Byron Leftwich, Eli Manning or David Carr.
Tecmo Super Bowl is my fave football game hands down.
Were there any other side scrolling football games?
