Line 1: {{work}} [[File:rsz_11yb1h1us4qzqqefbpq49buitw0hn6e_v4_599.jpg\|frame]] ''[[Tecmo Bowl]]'' is a video game series~~. It is~~ based on American Football ~~and was~~, released in arcades in 1987. It was later ported to the [[NES]] in 1989 (and ported twice again - once in 1991 for the [[Game Boy]] and again for the [[Virtual Console]] in 2007; albeit in the VC release, the players' names are removed and represented by their number) You can choose from 12 teams, a password option, and started a trend. In December 1991, a sequel was released called Tecmo Super Bowl. Nearly two years later, Tecmo Super Bowl was brought to the [[Mega Drive]] and Genesis. Despite having a similar name to the NES game, it is not a port. Two years later, Tecmo released two more sequels - Tecmo Super Bowl 2: Special Edition and Tecmo Super Bowl 3: The Final Edition. Despite the last one ~~implying~~saying it was the final edition, another Tecmo Super Bowl game was released for the Sony [[PlayStation]] in 1996. Nearly ''twelve'' years later, the franchise was reborn with the release of Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for the [[Nintendo DS]] in November 2008. The most recent{{when}} release in the series was Tecmo Bowl Throwback for the [[Xbox 360]] and the [[Play Station 3]] in April 2010. {{tropelist}} '''The series in general include:''' * [[Cutscene]]: Every once in a while, the game will temporarily cut from the game and show, for example, a short cutscene of a field goal or kick. There's more ways to trigger these cut scenes. '''The Arcade and NES versions include the following tropes:''' * [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The NES version in particular has only four plays by team, two minutes per quarter, unable to edit your roster, no injuries, and more. * [[Game Breaking Bug]]: On the NES version, inputting certain passwords will cause the game to freeze if you call an offensive play. Line 12 ⟶ 13: * [[Jack of All Stats]]: Washington's team is well-balanced. Doug Williams has two potent weapons to use in players like Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders. * [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Bo Jackson of Los Angeles. If the other player doesn't stop his run, he'll score a touchdown before the other player can react. Same with the barrage Jerry Rice and Joe Montana can prepare on unsuspecting players. * [[Stone Wall]]: Lawrence Taylor can block field goal kicks and can shut down any offense plays, if timed right. Chicago has ''two'' stone walls - Steve ~~[[Mc Michael]]~~McMichael and Mike Singletary. {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Video Game]] [[Category:Video Games of the 1980s]] [[Category:Game Boy]] [[Category:Nintendo Entertainment System]] [[Category:Sports Game]] [[Category:The Eighties]] [[Category:~~Video Game~~Tecmo]] ▲[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]
