2 Tournaments Still Exist in Its Honor

3 The First NFL Video Game Endorsement

Tecmo Bowl was the first in the series, where the football league gave the rights to go ahead and use their licensed for the athletes to be shown but It didn't have every single team included than, and so they made a significant change, and not only was a dramatic improvement over the first game, but to be the first to include all the roster is even more innovative than you believed at the time. Another thing they that the original didn't have is a full roster there was only like 12 teams in the predecessor where this game has all at the time 28 teams in this game from great to terrible. Funny how the Patriots are the worst team overall in a legendary game like this.

4 It Had Bo Jackson

The most dominate player arguably in this game is Bo Jackson, why is that just see him in his punt return phase you can't even touch him his that impossible to beat even with 11 guys on the field. Even more hilarious just watch the Family Guy random mention that shows the respect this game has in pop culture.

The game makes you earn the yards legitimately... only difference that not realistic is when going for 4th down multiple times either going long, or a surprise long run would be not real otherwise it is on point. From the halftime shows to the stats I'd say this is crisp.

Le'Veon Bell, and Aaron Donald oh man that would be what that was in 91' of the biggest players in that era.

7 Pre-Simulated Regular Season Injuries

In real life it sucks to see somebody get hurt, but it changes the aspect of the favorites we believe go all the way in doing so seeing it in Tecmo Super Bowl made the Regular Season more unpredictable to the point that the last two team that went to the end for me were Miami and San Francisco which I found interesting since that felt more like an 80's clash in which Joe Cool of course would win. Needless to say the game has a great amount of intensity when you play every single team throw in your way.

8 The Only Game You Have a Chance to Get Multiple Safeties

Yes you could choose two of best players on defense, and potentially really mess up an opposing offense. Punt really good, and your bound to get a ton of sacks each time you do it just right it's better than to be shut out with nothing I'll take it.

9 They Made a Recent Version with the Current Roster

If you look up the game title with the year you'll see a video of some guy showing off the updated roster between the Eagles, and Cowboys in doing so you'll probably see it on the shop area as well seeing the price is not nearly as bad as other games are ungodly to afford.

10 The Emulated Version Can Also Be Customized

Yes you can emulate this game... in doing so you can modify the game you want. The controls are slightly more difficult seeing its PC, but the point of the game is to show it off of course in its greatness.
