Original Techmo Bowl

[dogfish]

yes, kiddies. . . they actually had video games before the Xbox, believe it or not-- and waaaaaayyyy before there was madden, there was techmo bowl! a true classic. . . there may even be a few people on this board who are old enough to have played it back when it first came out. . . i don't know if this was the very first football video game or not, but i suspect that it was. . . here's your chance to take a trip back in time and relive the legend. . .

Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen destroyed everyone!

the raiders were the best team there. goooooooooooood times......:salute:

[Watchthemiddle]

That was an outstanding game.

I remember borrowing it from a friend and when he wanted me to return it to him, he chased me home from school because I didn't want to give it back.

Good find Dog.

yea, as much as i hate to admit it. . . the fade was unstoppable with those guys!

of course, i kicked people's asses with the broncos. . . my D was unbeatable-- i'd use karl mecklenburg, and get an interception pretty much every time anyone tried to pass-- that guy could sure cover a lot of ground when the ball was in the air!

:lol:

my friends got so tired of hearing "meck-leeeennn-BURRRRRRGGGGHHH!!"

The Bears were pretty good also with Payton and Singletary.

We had a rule you couldn't be the Raiders cause of stuff like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PBvOxicz-0).

Great find. I totally loved that game when it game out. My friend and I were totally addicted to that game.

Contra and Legend of Zelda were sweet.

Don't forget about Double Dragon and Castlevania, which was my first game on that system.

Ah, just tried a drive as the Raiders. Run left with Bo Jackson, go backwards, hit right, then easily dodge your way into the endzone. Still works as well as ever. (Which is why we banned that damned team :laugh:)

I used to always be the NY Giants when I played Techmo Football. I would play LT and blitz him on every play.

I think LT got 60 sacks one season.

Sick.

I get to think of Techmo Bowl each time I listen to DJ Quik....


"And if you <beep> with my roll, I'll beat your butt as if we was playin' Techmo Bowl -hut, hut, hut, hut"


hahaha


I loved playing that game and yes I was able to playit when it was released...:eek:




PEACE!!!

I used to play this game all the time. This and John Elway's Qaurterback and 10 Yard Fight! Anyone who's interested can find ROM's of TECMO BOWL with updated rosters and teams with a quick google search...not that I condone emulators...;)

Hey, what's up MasterShake.

I can't believe I forgot about John Elway's Quarterback. I played that game so much. I remember hiking the ball and running back as far as I could before throwing the ball, which would go the length of the field for a TD. It was awesome. :D

[Watchthemiddle]

How do you get it to play? All it does is keeps going over the credits and showing the rosters of all the teams for me.

:mad::mad:

[Devilspawn]

I still have the game. I only play Bionic Commando on the NES though. I just ran Bo all the live long day on everyone.

[jrelway]

walter payton and bo jackson were unstoppable in that game..was fun running back kickoff returns with dennis gentry.
