In the early 1990s, Tecmo created and released Tecmo Bowl, a football video game for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive). With an official license from the NFL and the NFLPA, you can pick from actual teams and players from that season in the game's single-player and two-player modes.
Playing the game like a real football game, your goal is to rack up more points than your opponent by completing touchdown passes or field goals while the clock runs out.
With the game's overhead view, you can watch both the offense and defense in action.
The player in possession of the ball can be controlled directly using the D-Pad for movement and the A and B buttons for running, passing, and tackling when defending.
The offensive and defensive strategies used by each team are detailed in their respective playbooks. A different tactic to counter your opponent's moves is decided upon before each play.
In order to continue your offensive drive, you need to achieve a minimum of 10 yards on four downs, just as in actual football.
Play a brief match between two teams as an exhibition.
Select a squad and guide them through the regular season, playoffs, and the Super Bowl in this season-based football game. Keep tabs on your players' stats, injuries, and overall performance.
Perfect for friendly competition, the Pro Bowl features the top teams from the American Football Conference and the National Football League.
Officially licensed by the NFL (NFLPA), the game features actual NFL teams and players.
Every game of the season, every postseason, every Super Bowl included.
The controls are simple arcade joysticks, but the action is deep and strategic, requiring you to balance running and passing passes.
Exciting gameplay made possible by unique visuals and cutscenes that accompany major plays, such as touchdowns. Compete against a friend or by yourself on the same screen.
Long admired by players for its compelling gameplay, strategic depth, and the sensation of genuinely "managing a team" through an authentic season, Tecmo Super Bowl goes beyond being a mere enjoyable football game. It is a classic of retro sports gaming.
To sum up, this is a traditional football game in which you take charge of an NFL squad, pick their offensive and defensive plans, compete against other teams using American football regulations, and play either a complete season or friendly matches.
