Thread: Original Techmo Bowl

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. . .

that's a direct link to the game, but if you go to their main menu they have TONS of old classics from the original nintendo-- games like contra, metroid, and legend of zelda. . .

Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen destroyed everyone!

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

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!



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

shouldn't have swiped his game. . . .


funny stuff!

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.

tecmo bowl superbowl celebrations > all maddens superbowl celebrations combine

I used to play that game with my dad all the time. My brother is basically obsessed with it to this day. Great game.

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.

yea, i think i spent about a million hours playing the original castlevania. . .

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 )

yea, i have to admit i played a game with them-- it feels slimy using the fade, but bo is just too sick!

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.
