Tecmo Bowl Nintendo classic questions

One of my all time favorite Nintendo games.  Just got the Nintendo classic and have already played a few seasons.  The classic version seems slightly different but I can’t tell if my memory got clouded with later football games.  

Wasn’t there a button that would make you go faster but run out?  kind of like excitebike how you can accelerate but if you hold it too long you slow down.

In the original there was fumbles right?

Bo seemed much faster in the original.

Felt like I could score a lot higher in the original.

No turbo iirc but you did speed up of you zig zagged.

Ok I imagined the turbo.  I remastered the zigzag.

Yeah yeah I guess so, Philadelphia wasn’t in regular Tecmo they were in Super?  Was there Turbo in Super?

OP hack that thing a and you can have a modern version of Tecmo Super bowl…same graphics and gameplay but with modern rosters! Actually, there are 3-4 version…2015 roster.s 2016 roster etc etc. it’s great

Dennis Gentry of the Bears could run back kickoffs and punts with ease, NewYork Giants could block field goals most times.

the turbo runner your thinking of was in John Elways “quarterback”

The only answer

Both games. Tecmo and Super Tecmo were awesome. 

Super was great because of stat keeping, more plays, addition of fumbles and more realistic passing (incomplete passes, interceptions were much better done. Less automatic). More teams, player substitutions etc. Just a better more realistic, but still super fun experience. Possibly the GOAT football, and possibly GOAT sports game period.

The original was and is still great. One thing I preferred with the original was the paper/rock/scissor aspect of picking plays. As a rule, you had a 25% chance of picking up big yardage, 50% chance at minimal yardage and 25% chance at a loss of yardage. That element of the game made for a lot of psychological warfare between players. -this aspect of the game was minimized a lot in Super.

Great watch if anyone hasn’t seen it:

^ Just an observation having played the games as an adult. 

As a kid it was all about Bo and trying to look down the cheerleaders shirts during halftime.

Bo Jackson, greatest video game player of all time. 

I would run to the other side of the field to do a 99 yard touchdown every time.
