Game Chronicles Review: Tecmo Bowl

In fact, my dorm hall floor at Michigan Sate University had a regular Thursday night underground Tecmo Bowl championship for the sub-21 year old crowd. It was the highlight of the week, as we all packed in a tiny dorm room, drinking ourselves silly, aiming for bragging rights over that week's brackets."
