Old sports games are often overlooked, but they are an important part of both gaming and sports history. Tecmo Bowl was one of the first American football games to be considered good and I have fond memories of playing this at a friend’s house. While the on-screen sprites were limited to only 9 players per team and there were only 12 teams to choose from, it was still fun thanks to a two player mode that allowed friends to face off against one another. Players could also choose from a few simple plays, which further added to the fun. From a sports history standpoint, Tecmo Bowl uses an interesting fusion of the NFL\u2019s 1987 and \u201888 roster, creating a sort of hypothetical late eighties season that never happened. If you\u2019re a football fan or someone who just likes 8-Bit gaming, this title is still worth playing today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
