      anyone remember the NEAR money play on SF 49ers? I think it was Montana to the tight end. He would start up at the bottom and at the snap, the tight end goes straight up and if you pass at the right moment, a defender can never stop it. I wish I knew which play it was.

    Sorry to dominate the comments, but if you don't mind just one more-
    Have you seen the way that Christian Okoye of the Chiefs is statted on TSB? Take Neal Anderson and Brad Muster, and combine them, and you had a monster of a RB. Jackson may have been the fastest, but Okoye, when played by a person, was a dominant back.
    When I was a 20-year-old and this game was out, I had a group of friends of mine that got together for four straight years on New Years' Eve and did an all-night Tecmo Bow War. Each of us picked a team, and we played an entire 16-week season with playoffs and Super Bowl, with the winner getting a small trophy that all of us kicked in to buy. The first year, my friend Jayson had the Kansas City Chiefs, and blew everyone apart by just pounding Okoye over and over. He could do wonders with Okoye, getting out of the way of tackles and barreling over others. He just wrecked me in the AFC Championship game (I had the Oilers), and won the whole thing that year.
    It was such a blast. Good times. I'll shut up now; thanks for sharing this.

    Let me make this clear, this was a time without internet and "cheese plays" you can find all over the web in today's sports games. If you discovered something that works on your buddy or brother you did that on your own! Tecmo bowl was the cream of the crop for sports games on the NES, you didn't need to be a football fan to have so much fun playing! BO was a beast on that game but I use to pick the 49ers my brother the Raiders, we both got the best of each other! What memories👍 great throwback as always!

I can't even play the original anymore and the NES version of Tecmo SB is really primitive.

    How to "stop" Bo Jackson in Tecmo Super Bowl:
    Be the Philadelphia Eagles. Offense for offense. QB Eagles aka Randall Cunningham is a juggernaut, in his own right. Defense for the Eagles has Bob Golic, who can lurch and stop any run up the middle. Lurching is often deemed "illegal." If thats the case, simply use Reggie White as your defensive player.

    You brought back a lot of great memories with this video. You should tackle the NHL games on Sega Genesis.

      NHL 96 was my favorite although the cheesy side shot made the game frustrating against friends.

    Tecmo Bowl on NES did indeed have the real players. Tecmo Bowl on the NES Classic doesn't. It's ok though, I still enjoy your vids bro.

      Wow Chris you are right! I guess I had a Mandela effect with the original where I have recently just played the original tecmo bowl on the classic and I was totally convinced they didn't have the names back in the day either lol. My mistake dude. I try my best to get it 100% right but I botched that one. Thanks for being cool about it.

      They probably would have to get individual players permission instead of dealing with the players association. Would cost alot of $.

      I just ported Techmo Super Bowl onto my NES Classic....I’ll have to see if Super Bowl uses the players names

      They had the real players and Cities, but the mascot of the teams were all jacked up

    Bo was OP in that game but the rest of the Raiders sucked so it was kind of a wash.
