The Greatest Video Game of all time

I stumbled across this on Youtube the other day and it brought back some outstanding memories. I used to play super tecmo bowl constantly growing up. All through school, high school and even to college. Myself and my friends used to have all nite tecmo tournaments. Yes, we were cool. Heck, we even used to set it up to have the computer play itself and place bets on which team would win.....

We used to close our eyes and smash the little arrow with our controller feverishly until we would randomly stop and wherever the little arrow stopped on whatever little helmet it stopped on...that was our team to we HAD to play with (actually, we got to do it 2 times and could pick the best of 2). This made for some outstanding matchups and some hideous ones..but also made us familiar with EVERY player on EVERY team on offense and defense. Some guys were basically unstoppable on off and on def...but nobody, and i mean nobody was as unstoppable as Bo Jackson for the raiders. All the great players on both sides of the ball had thier little glitches you could capitalize on that would draw your opponent to sanity when they worked...ala the 100 yard pass to jerry rice which was indefensible.... but nobody could beat Bo. You had to call the correct play every time or else he was gone...below is an example....

I've heard they are bringin out a new nintendo with the ability to play all the old games off it...if it's true...i dearly hope they bring back tecmo..that would be a no brainer purchase for me if they did..sigh..this video is outstanding for tecmo fans...we've all been there...
