I'm watching the Bo youtube clip and my husband says are you playing tecmo bowl? Runs over and says Bo Jackson was f...ing awesome. Payton was a monster too. He basically said everything in this thread. You guys are so funny.

Ready, down, hut hut hut hut....

I loved how blocking a kick entailed tackling rather than actual blocking. I used that TE streak to Todd Christiansen all the time. Nothing like a 4 play playbook. And a few hundred "heads" acting as spectators that always moved in unison.

does anyone remember this phenomenon, when a WR ran a curl route if you threw it before the dude had curled and come to a stop you'd launch it 30 yards over his head.

someone help me out, who was the Eagles RB?? I'd run that guy back to the 1 yard line and then let Randall take it 99 yards in an attempt to get 1000 yards in a game.

I think you're talking about the great Heath Sherman but I think Keith Byers was on that team too and he was decent.

Thanks Doctor it was the great Keith Byars I was searching for. I sought revenge for the infamous one shoed TD run against U of I in his college days Circa 1986 by rushing him for an avg of -300 yards in his professional tecmo bowl days.

I think I remember in the first Tecmo Bowl, the Giants were on of the best teams that did that. The guy they had at the end was FAST. Can't remember who it was, but if you played as the giants you had a great chance to block a lot of kicks. Not much else you could do with them, I still liked playing the Raiders or Bears. One time I did take the Browns to the Tecmo Bowl but lost to Miami.

Loved the half time show...

That was LT. He would block every kick because, you know, that's what made him famous, blocking kicks.

Man! You're a fountain of Tecmo Bowl knowledge!

I would say that this is very close to common knowledge for anybody between the ages of 23-35.

I guess I had forgotten that LT was the guy at the bottom of the screen in the original TB and was the one blocking kicks...but the reason I said that was that he also knew:

<<I think you're talking about the great Heath Sherman but I think Keith Byers was on that team too and he was decent.>>

He just seemed like the Tecmo Bowl Answer-Man.

Or was that close to common knowledge too?

the Phoenix cardinals were pretty good--Timm Rosenbach, Roy Green, Johnny johnson and Ricky Proehl.

Don't recall which version of Tecmo I played, but the Oilers were a fun team to control.

They had three pass plays and one run play, and one of the pass plays consisted of all four recievers running fly patterns. Hit the receiver that was singled covered and you had a big play.

Yes, on Techmo Super Bowl...the nose tackle for the Packers...I once got 104 sacks with him in a season. Just slide down with him and dive. Too easy. You can do that with a lot of nose tackles in that game. Slide them down about a half inch then dive forward.

On the original Techmo Bowl, an underrated team was the Colts...they had a tight end out play that was unstoppable, even if the computer called your play. And it was never covered. I beat everybody with that team.
