Didn’t this all start because Ed O’Bannon sued because a video game maker was using his number and last name in a video game?

Our parents told us video games would ruin us.

That game is a core memory of the summer of 1992. I'd walk home from baseball practice in the late afternoon, take a shower, turn on the NES and then play Tecmo SB, Mario Kart, or 1943 for a couple of hours before my mother fussed on me to stop wasting my life.

You could basically run around and never get tackled with him.

I always played as the 49ers vs Raiders. Apparently, the game creators purposely made Bo very OP. He was the fastest player in the game, followed by Barry Sanders, then Jerry Rice. Rice was always open.

I think you are correct. Pure greed by NCAA. They acted like they owned the kids and their likeness.

Tecmo bowl had bo Jackson
Tecmo Super Bowl was an improved version and I don’t know if bo was healthy at that point
Tecmo super was a little more realistic and improved graphics and you could play an entire season including playoffs

O bannon definitely started the movement and it took years for the payoff
Without some common sense solutions it’s not gonna work long term

Arcade Tecmo Bowl was my first experience with Tecmo.

I think the first football video game I ever played was Super Pro Football on the Intellivision. First Nintendo game was 10 yard fight.

"Thanks a lot you idiot"

You seem perpetually triggered. Uber-melted, as it were.

But we get it. No more advantage for your team. No more NCAA on a leash, no more having your own personal attack dog to use against other programs. No more paying to stock five star talent, while keeping other teams from doing the same.

We get it. You're melting bad.

It's funny, tho.

You kids and your fancy video games. This was my first football "video" game.




However, this was my first actual football type game.

I still have the original baseball and World Series baseball, my cousin had basketball, I never had that one. I don’t know what happened to my copy of football though.

I still have my electric football, unfortunately it’s giants vs jets. I need to order some new teams, they still make them.
