Tecmo Super Bowl? More Like LameMo Stupor Bowl...
If you're lookin' for a truly challenging and competitive football game for your Sega Genesis-geez, is there anybody out there who actually still owns a Sega Genesis? Talk about an antique! Not as antique as, say, the Atari 2600, but... um, what's that you say? Oh, right-- sorry `bout that! Like I was sayin', if you're lookin' for a truly challenging and competitive football game to play on your ancient, obsolete, and gradually disintegrating Sega Genesis... ya might as well forget about Tecmo Super Bowl. Why, you ask? Well, here's the lowdown for ya's...I usually picked the Three-Year option, where I'd go through the entire 1991, '92, `and '93 seasons. Then I'd pick my team, and start playin'. In those three seasons, my team won... um... let's see, nineteen times three, minus one... 56 games, and tied one, including nine straight postseason victories, culminating in a Super Bowl three-peat. My team scored at least 700 points each season, and never allowed more than 100. Although a few games were tough, and scoring was at a premium on a couple occasions, my team usually had a pretty big lead when it was all said and done; only three games went into overtime. I recall at least eight occasions where I scored fifty or more points during this three-year span, and three occasions where I topped sixty! And this was with quarters that were allegedly only five minutes long. I say `allegedly' because I was usually able to get through an entire game in ten to fifteen actual minutes... And what wide variety of plays did I use, you may ask? Well, that's one of the disappointing things-- I used only three different plays on offense: the sweep run, the off-tackle run, and the long bomb. And I used only two different plays on defense, one of them a blitz that almost always seemed to work in my team's favor. My player-to-control on defense was the left defensive end every single time. He'd end up with at least 50 sacks and score at least three safeties per season, and blocked a punt, field goal, and/or extra point attempt about every other game. Now, you're probably wonderin' what team I used to plow my way so handily through the rest of the league to a Super Bowl three-peat. Well, it wasn't any of the league's major powers of the day, such as the Redskins, 49ers, or Cowboys. It wasn't even one of the mediocre teams. The team I picked was, until recently, one of the worst franchises in the history of the league, if not THE worst. Before they revamped their look several years back, they had the most horrific uniform color scheme imaginable: light orange and white, with orange trim. Yep, you guessed it-- my team was the 1991-93 Tampa Bay Buccaneers! Now, if THAT isn't a testament to the lameness of Tecmo Super Bowl for the Sega Genesis, I don't know what is... `Late
