Been discovering Tecmo Bowl in the last few days. I'm used to playing the latest Madden games...so Tecmo Bowl was going REALLY back in time. And you know what? As much as I really like a real life sim like Madden games, I got a LOT of fun playing Tecmo Bowl. I get why it was called one of the best 100 games ever made! Can you imagine? The playbook only has 4 plays. It's not even the right number of players on the field. You can't see a face. Can't see the crowd or the referee. And yet, time goes by so fast while playing it. I like that you can play against friends who have zero knowledge of football. No need to overanalyze a playbook. No need for 20 different controls, audibles. etc. Don't get me wrong, nothing can replace Madden, but I was pleasantly surprised of the gameplay with 2 buttons and a little 4 way pad. Have you ever played Tecmo Bowl?
