Tecmo Madison: A Sports Gaming Classic

[RaychelSnr]

If you are like me, you spent countless hours of your youth playing against your friends in Tecmo Bowl on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). If you are like my Press Row Podcast amigo Owen Good, you went to Madison, Wisconsin to play in the largest Tecmo Bowl event in the country.

Quote:

"And now it means you're in your 30s. You're at an age where you can't go down the street to play Tecmo Super Bowl at a friend's house, you have to get a hotel room in a strange town and put $600 on a credit card to play it in a bar. It means you finish a complete stranger's sentences because of memories you made two decades ago, and you buy him a drink. You don't come to Tecmo Madison to really find out if you are One of the Best at Tecmo Super Bowl. You're here, like Jordan Rodgers, to learn that you always were."

Anyone else make the trip? Any good Tecmo Bowl stories from yesteryear?

I picked up one of those cheap knock-off NES systems on amazon for $15 and got a usead copy of tecmo super bowl a few weeks ago and have been playing it like crazy. Several seasons, whole games, no game freeze or anything. When is the last time something like that has happened with a current gen game??
