I have always viewed Arcade to Sim as a spectrum, not a binary. The ultimate arcade game in my experience was NFL Blitz. Guys catching on fire, WWE moves post play, etc. Tecmo was much more realistic than that....while obviously not being close pure simulation either.
Is Tecmo Super Bowl not considered arcade?

Agreed. We should not lose sight of the context either. I'm pretty sure Tecmo is as "arcade" as it is at least in part due to the limitations of what was possible in video games at the time. For all I know, it may have been an attempt at making the most realistic football game possible back then.Comment
