While the popular slogans of the time were “Bo Knows Football” and “Bo Knows Baseball”, Tecmo Bowl players knew only one thing: Bo knows how to break the game. With superhuman speed, Jackson decimated every team’s defense thanks to being faster than any human person should ever be."

Now I’m not the biggest football fan (hockey is more my speed) but I loved playing Tecmo Bowl back in the day on the NES, especially in multiplayer. The game wasn’t really all that much about football but a great competitive, arcade-style experience that could be experienced just as well by sports fans and casual gamers alike. In 2010 the game was remade (using mechanics from its sequel Tecmo Super Bowl) as Tecmo Bowl: Throwback, a more modern take on the classic for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s digital stores."

Man, who wants to start a Tecmo Bowl league with me? Does it work online? Can I make my own college teams? ... I'm gonna have to look into this.
Dude I am ready. I don't know if you can make your own teams, but you can definitely do online stuffs.
Tecmo Bowl Throwback on Xbox LIVE Arcade has a lot of similarities to Tecmo Super Bowl on NES. Unfortunately, this includes the bad stuff.
