Has anyone had the chance to play the New TECMO BOWL aka. SUPER BOWL?

If so , could you please let me know what you think. They are popping up
at stores all around the city.

Thanks,

701.1Tecmo Super Bowl for ChristmasASABET::RUGGIEROSat Dec 21 1991 18:4930
    
    	Criag,
    
    	I bought Tecmo Super Bowm as a Christmas present for my nephew the 
    	other day and just could't sit there and look at the box...  Yes, I 
    	opened it and was pleasently surprosed at both the expanded play 
    	selections and the expanded team selections....... Graphics are
    	nearly identical to Tecmo Bowl, but there are no more guaranteed
    	pass completions.... Sometimes the recievers make spectacular
    	diving catches, and other times they drop the ball when they are 
    	wide open......
    
    	Every team has its individual strengths and characteristics and 
    	winning depends on playing with your strengths.....
    
    	The computer is no push-over..... Except when the computer is 
    	controling the Patriots..... Grogan tends to throw alot of
    	interceptions, how realistic can they get.......
    
    
    	Overall I'm pleased with the game...... but ashamed of myself for 
    	opening it......I'm sure I'll get over it though......

    Hi,
    
    Re: 701.1
    
    What teams are available?
    
    Specifically speaking.....Are the Green Bay Packers in TECMO SUPER
    BOWL?

701.3The Pack is thereLJOHUB::SPOONERPeter Spooner - LTN2-2/K20Tue Dec 31 1991 10:0216
    RE -1

    Yes, the Green Bay Packers are available, but I doubt they will go
    all the way this year. ;-)

    One other point about this game is that it is licensed by NFL
    properties (which own the logos) and by the NFL Players Association
    (which own the "names" of players).  However, not all players are
    in the NFLPA, so you see for example "QB Bills" instead of Jim
    Kelly for the Bills.  I think Randall Cunningham and Bernie Kosar
    are also not in the NFLPA and don't appear in the game.
