Are you ready for some football? I'm here to review what is known as the other best football sim game besides Madden. Let's begin with the basics...
Tecmo Super Bowl is considered to be a sequel to Tecmo Bowl, except it was officially licensed by the NFL and NFLPA. Of course, the objective of 3 year season mode is try and make your team into a dynasty.

Don't mind this guy's rambling, it's the only footage of gameplay for the Genesis version i could find...
Of course there are the NES and SNES versions as well.
This is a hacked version of TSB I SNES...

...and the NES version of the game
YouTube - Bo Knows - crazy Tecmo Super Bowl run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PBvOxicz-0&feature=rec-LGOUT-real_rev-rn-1r-37-HM)
Gameplay: 4/5 although trying to pass on a Genesis controller is difficult...
Sound: 3/5 it really depends on the version you like playing. The Genesis has the best audio of the three versions
Replay: 5/5 If you like the challenge of taking 28 different NFL teams to the super bowl in season mode, you'll most likely keep playing this game
Challenge: 3/5 The AI do get smarter in the later weeks after week 10 but still fails to tackle you 50% of the time
Tilt: 5/5
In Conclusion, Tecmo Super Bowl was a great game but couldn't really compete with Madden so i leave you with a montage of the greatest TSB players
