Tecmo Bowl

(3.9)

1989

Tecmo Bowl is an American football video game developed and released by Tecmo. Originally released as an arcade game in 1987, the game features a large dual screen cabinet with up to four players between two fictitious teams. A port for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in 1989 and was the first console game to include real National Football League players, via a license from the NFL Players Association. A Game Boy version developed by Sculptured Software followed in 1991. The NES version was extremely popular, spawning various sequels, starting with 1991's Tecmo Super Bowl. The NES original has been cited as one of the best sports video games ever made. The NES and arcade versions have been re-released (without the NFLPA license) for various platforms, including mobile phones, the Virtual Console, the NES Classic Edition, and Nintendo Switch.

I can respect that people have a nostalgic love for this game. However, I have never been able to really get into it.

I never played this game until joining C3, and after a playing it for a few quests I can now conclude that this is not a good game. I would understand why people who played this around the time it was released would think its a good game.

One of the funnest American football games you'll ever play still to this day, only to be outdone by its sequel (Tecmo Super Bowl). This game was so much fun. It's so easy for anybody to play, not just fans of football. It's quick. The graphics are good. The controls are easy. The mechanics are simple to understand. It's just so much fun still.

I'm trying to keep in mind that this was probably a decent game for its time. But unless you grew up playing it, I don't see any real reason to start playing now.

Super was 5 Star, but this was the start of something great.

Classic football game but the minimal teams and plays made 2 far superior.

Iconic game that paved the way for data junkies to eventually obtain seasonal statistics, like in its sequel Tecmo Super Bowl. If you wanted to win Tecmo Bowl you were committing a weekend and you better hope your little brother doesn't trip over the power cord. FML and start over. Eventually, Tecmo offered battery powered memory inside the cartridge along with the possibility of throwing incomplete passes and fumbling. TB is suited for nostalgic purposes only. Not 24-hour drunken marathons like its Super siblings.
