    Tecmo Bowl

                 
            For starts,Tecmo Bowl is a good time,It's one of the first 11 on 11 football games out there in 1987.At first it was released on the arcade machine,it had some sucess.It wasnt untill 1988 when it was released on the NES that it took wings and flew.Now days,the version we play on the XBL marketplace is not that game,it is more of a cross between super tecmo bowl and Tecmo bowl.It does not have real teams,and the players names are not accurate of course.It features single player and versus mode along with multiplayer for you guys who like competion.In 1988 Tecmo bowl was 2D,todays game gives you the option of 3D.(which I recommend)The games make up is of 8 plays 4 offensive plays and 4 defensive plays,on defense you want to "pick the right play" slash try to pick the same play that the computer or other person is picking.For this you will get a bonus,like negitive yards ect. On offensive you have two buttons:one to hike and one to switch from reciver to reciver.(use same button to hike and throw.)All in all the game is pretty straight forward,and worth the few dollars to have a good time.I like to use these sorta games to continue achivement hunting lulls,there easy and a good time.I hope to see you all online..........
