Two NES versions were released in the U.S. The teams featured in the game are Indianapolis, Miami, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles (Raiders), Washington, San Francisco, Dallas, New York (Giants), Chicago, and Minnesota.Įach team has a different level of effectiveness based on its personnel and play selection. Tecmo Bowl only uses players from twelve of the best and most popular teams of the time. However, through the NFLPA license, each roster mimics that of the NFL team based out of the same city or state. As a result, the teams in the game are identified solely by their home city or state.

Tecmo was not able an obtain an NFL league license to use real team names, as that had been given to LJN's NFL video game for the NES. The exceptions are San Francisco and Miami, who have three passing plays and one running play.

Most teams have two running plays and two passing plays. Tecmo Bowl contains twelve teams, each equipped with four plays. The offense tries to avoid the defense, and the defense tries to either avoid blockers, tackle the ball carrier, or intercept a pass. Unlike standard American football rules which have 11 players on each team, the arcade version only allows ten players on the field at a time and the NES version only allows nine for each. When on defense, a player selects a play based on the anticipation of the offense's choice if chosen correctly, it results in a collapse of the offensive line and well-covered receivers, therefore setting up either a potential sack or an interception.Īlthough featuring the names, rosters, and statistics of real National Football League (NFL) players from a mix of the 19 seasons, the gameplay limits how closely the video game players mimics real-life players. In both versions, the playbook consists of only four offensive plays. In the two-player and coach modes, the player and another human will play one game but the players only choose the plays in the coach mode (which cannot be done in the arcade version).

After every game that the player wins, it is given a password to continue their quest for the championship and the computer picks another team to play as, and the player stays with the original choice. In one-player mode, the player picks a football team and plays against the computer. The player can choose between three modes: one-player, two-player, and coach. The NES version allows two players to play rather than the arcade's four players. Its 2D graphics are more advanced than the NES version, with a larger color palette and more detailed sprites. Only two fictional teams can be chosen: the Wildcats and the Bulldogs. The original arcade version is distinguished by a large two-monitor cabinet, support for up to four players, and the ability to break tackles. The NES and arcade versions have been re-released (without the NFLPA license) for various platforms, including mobile phones, the Virtual Console, the NES Classic Edition, and Nintendo Switch. The NES original has been cited as one of the best sports video games ever made. The NES version was extremely popular, spawning various sequels, starting with 1991's Tecmo Super Bowl.
