1981 NFC championship The Catch Tecmo Style

[waynemegaman]

Cool, I use to play this game all the time back in the day. Of course my team was always the 9rs and pretty much unstopable!

[ThePonko92]

That was perfect 3rd an 3 @ the 6 clock didnt matter because Clark made that catch with less than a minute anyway good job man :)

[maybrook1]

love it

[jambuc828]

that was nice 

[1meanieface1]

christian okoye still the best running back *to me* in tecmo super bowl. everytime someone touched him they just got flung off. thanks for posting this, good memories

[JimmyHatsSuck]

This game was epic back in the day.

[intsoccersuperstar]

it would have been sweet if you could have gotten the double-jumping cutscene, but this is still win

[Loneman1]

Awesome stuff right there.

[GUEROMEXICANO831]

Pretty cool

[Roskoe09]

i am glad that video games got so much better =)

[duranw]

Love it! Love it! Bro awesome job!!

[PCCphoenix]

That was "The Catch" that sent the Cowboys to certain TECMO Doom!!!

[nintenbry]

great job..so classic

[spacepluto]

wooot 49ers rule

[blargged]

actually, you can get a jump catch in the endzone, i did it today. maybe not directly in the back, but still

[VikingSkills7]

Nice Dude that was really clever and it worked out perfectly. same score and time left and everything lol

Ignore McPavan. hes got his eyes and mind closed. he doesnt realize just because hes got a bias against the 49ers doesnt mean that theyre not the only team to go 5 for 5 in Superbowls. which they are. The Cowboys have 5 also BUT have lost 3 that theyve been to...So Me having an open mind, I can see that The Cowboys are in the Top 3 teams of the NFL with The 49ers as well.

[dolphinbuc]

That was hilarious.

[McPavan]

shut up this is some fuckin fake little bull shyt .... Go Cowboys !!!!

[408Machine]

Classic ! Tecmo Bowl was my first video game addiction.

[PharcydePhreak]

fucking amazing

[baronvg]

Hahahaha! That was awesome!

[JohanSantanaRox]

lol

Its "The Catch"

[McPavan]

This is so fake!! This is not how clark caught the pass . He jumped up high and caught it ..... obiousley he was tall .

[McPavan]

Go Cowboys!!!! BEST TEAM OF THE N F C LEAD!!!

[TRIPLEOGV666]

as a cowboys fan you still want owens?

[McPavan]

off course hes a bad ass wide reciver in Dallas Cowboys!! i know he can do it . Make it to super bowl!!

[Xclubkid22]

[318i]

[kellenmallen]

[mrwrestlingII]

Worst moment in sports history...however amazing job on the video. WOW!

[Jeremy722009]

Lol, almost dead on!

[LemieuxNHL66]

What game is that???

[coryg1088]

thats awesome

[kangjangz]

classic!!! Too funny!!!

[ninercub]

it was 28-27 though, otherwise very cool

[ntadams]

actually it was 27-27; then the extra point put the 49ers ahead.

[ryans1fan]

is youre last name adams cause mine is

[StephenKrishnan]

He was wide open!

[notyoursavior78]

hehe that was pretty awesome.

[eclectica1]

Very well done!!!!!!!!!

[blakbro2k]

I LOVE the qb animation.

[miscavage]

amazing.the greatest catch ever.and guess who was 2 years old in the stand watching his idol.a little guy named tom brady.

[22steve5150]

at 2 years old he didnt even know what the hell he was watching....and what happened to montana (injuries ending his carreer early) should be enough incentive for new england to stop keeping him out there when they are up by 4 scores in the 4th quarter running up the score!

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

wow just like the real play amazing i just saw the original play it matches awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[Jonnyf5]

this one brings me to tears too

[wilbert916]

How the hell did you do this? Love it, man.

[Toad22484]

This one was a bit different from the other ones, I just recorded play after play until I got it right. The other ones I usually record separate plays and edit them together to make the best possible outcome.

[esmjlm080507]

49ers- 5/5 in Super Bowls

Cowboys 5/8 in Super Bowls

All the cowboys did was LOSE a few big games. Go back to Dallas and be with the steers, you fucking queer.

[Shalashaska315]

Haha, awesome

[Toad22484]

Thanks

[Taxi502]

@Toad22484 yo, that was fucking tight, u got any others?

[Taxi502]

@Toad22484 dude, it even has 3 guys running at montana right before he throws it, so fuckin badass

[Dallasonia]

The most overrated, over-hyped play in sports history. The Cowboys success is 5 times that of the 69'ers!

[gowiththeflow198]

cowboys suck ass

[KarmaJolt]

So good!

[Toad22484]

Thanks

[dciguy01]

I don't get what was so great about this play in real life. The guy caught a pass. Big deal. Yawn.

[uofmrules1]

It was considered the "changing of the guards" in the NFC. Dallas was going down, and the Niners were coming up.

[laffy4k]

Very well done! I used to love Tecmo Super Bowl!

[Toad22484]

Thanks, I still play TSB from time to time.

[kroybdn]

WOW! WE'RE NOT WORTHY AWESOME!

[Toad22484]

hehe :p glad you liked it.

[hotsaucesyl]

Bo Jackson Tecmo T-Shirts!!!

Go to CafePress dot com and search "tecmo"

[obiwanobiwan13]

Best Play in NFL history.

[fearlessdave72]

and I actually still have that game

[fearlessdave72]

Thats not Madden its Tecmo Super Bowl

[Powermetal45]

WOW that was a fucking cool madden game man bad ass !!! was that a 1996 madden game ?

[hahafunnyman]

Classic! Freakin Great Video! Miss that game!

[Toad22484]

Thanks :).

[norsemustang]

Awesome.  Could you recreate "The Drive" in the Super Bowl against the Bengals as well?

[Toad22484]

I could, I'd need the footage and sound though.

[night524]

This video is PERFECT! The play is even completed with 51 seconds to go, which is also accurate!

Is that also Vin Scully doing the play calling? All this time, I never knew he called The Catch!

[Toad22484]

haha thanks. Yep, that was him.

[obiwanobiwan13]

Beautiful.  49ers are coming back this year.

[ChasenSFO]

Hell ya!

[Moldytape]

nice job! but i kinda had to point out that the WR at the bottom of the TD zone was kinda wide open. Still...

[Toad22484]

Just trying to recreate the play as much as I could :p.

[FlawAndDisorder]

Awesome vid. Thx for the memories!

[Toad22484]

No problem thanks.

[Tippin44s]

That was perfect! nice

[Toad22484]

Thank ya.

[jdutchfreeman]

Perfect, I remember it like it was yesterday!

[Toad22484]

Thanks it was one heck of a play.

[lakersfan22]

haha that was tite

[Toad22484]

Thank you all for the responses I'll try to make another sometime soon.

[semisih]

makes me cry also but makes cowboy fans cry even more

[Toad22484]

haha.

[russelljameswong]

This is awesome. Is there anyway you can make Clark Jump very high to catch the ball? Tecmo does have that feature, but might be harder to duplicate in the end zone.

[Toad22484]

Can't do it in the back of the endzone. A jump catch requires that the qb overthrow the receiver by a significant amount and he can't do that in the back of the endzone, this is as close as I can get it.

[AJx408x]

omfg..that was WHEATS!!

[billny33]

can you even lateral on Tecmo Super Bowl?

[Toad22484]

Nope.

[skykid3000]

Genius!

[Toad22484]

hehe thanks.

[DynastyDavid]

very cool!

[Toad22484]

Thanks!

[stm]

That is truly awesome.

[Toad22484]

Thank you.

[osteen84]

this video has made my cry

[Toad22484]

lmao :p.

[xandermercury]

omg that is funny stuff! I like it, recreating (to the best of their ability) key moments in football.

Let's see if anyone can recreate "The Play" from '82 (Cal V.S. Stanford)

[Toad22484]

lol that would be great but im sure it would take an incredible amount of editing, much more then im capable of.

[ironman2131]

I swear I will give a $100 to the person who can recreate Cal/Stanford!

[Toad22484]

I wish I could.

[garymiller1121]

That was GREAT!!  Thanks.

[Toad22484]

Thanks for watching and no problem.

[norcal37]

he was not trying to throw it away

[kman1582]

yes he was...he admitted it

[nyjets25]

awesome.... absolutly awesome

[Toad22484]

Thanks :)

[jobby67]

ALMOST LIKE A REPLAY!!!

[Toad22484]

Almost ;)

[monserga79]

our glory days are ahead...go niners!!

[JoelsHitShow]

You can't get the jumping catch animation on a pass that short because you have to overthrow the receiver to get it.

[Husoku]

hahaha nice, the only way to make it better is if Clark and the defender were both running, and Montana over threw them, and then TSB cut to the scene where the receiver and defender both jump up in the air and the receiver comes down with the ball. Now THAT would be SWEET!

[Toad22484]

Yeah I wish I could have done it like that but you can't get a jump catch in the back of the endzone

[thatoneguy916]

Niners will make the playoffs this year.

[kaox44]

That's just way to cool!

[Toad22484]

:) thanks.

[ejcamacho2006]

awesome

[Toad22484]

Thanks.

[jerseymizzle]

should've gotten the jumping catch animation instead of that one...since you're redoing the play in tecmo it doesn't make sense to have that low catch.

[Toad22484]

You can't do a jump catch in the back of the endzone, he can't overthrow it far enough.

[allnamestakenhowgay]

I bet that shithead Grogan could with his mile-high inaccurate bombs!

[jarenlove]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[ThreeHeadedDragon]

Thats just plain cool.

[Toad22484]

Thanks.

[nebulae87]

hahahahah thats fuckin awesome.

[Toad22484]

Thank ya.

[cjnye]

Bill Walsh is a genius.

Throw the ball either at a point where the receiver can catch or it can't be caught by anybody. That's perfect coaching in such a clutch situation, and smart to boot. That's why Walsh has 3 championships and a 4th one he basically bequeathed to George Seifert.

[twiztedjustin]

Nice.

[Toad22484]

Thanks.

[d84martin]

this is awesome!!!! i have found a couple others like this and they are cool. plus has anyone seen the RBI baseball one of game 6 of the 86 world series? very cool too. Does anyone know of anymore of these?

[Toad22484]

Yeah I've seen them and they are all great. I can't think of any others but thanks for watching.

[quotemeonthat]

Pft, Montana was throwin that thing away and Clark just happened to reach up and grab it :P

[ZhangtheGreat]

No he wasn't. In a later interview, Montana said that Bill Walsh actually had them practicing throwing the ball high to Clark in the back of the end zone earlier that week. He admitted that at the time he didn't see the point of practicing such a specific play, seeing as how the chances of such an event happening were slim to nil. It turned out, Bill Walsh was either extremely lucky or psychic.

[FCM415]

That's what athletically frustrated sports writers want you to think. In an interview, Joe stated that the play was designed so that only the 6'5 Clark can catch the ball.  Moron

[FCM415]

Oh yeah, also...U don't just happen to reach up and catch footballs in a championship game. It makes it sound more dramatic, but it doesn't work like that. I'm a die hard niner fan and I'd like to think that the play that gave us 5 Lombardis and 16 NFC West titles in a row was more than just luck. It was a designed play mde specificaly for to ue CLark's unusual height advantage. Sorry to burst ur bubble. Nice video by the way toad...

[quotemeonthat]

That still doesn't mean that Montana wasn't throwing it away. Yeah they may have been practicing it beforehand, but I think Montana just tried to get it away without being sacked. Even he said that he couldn't see over Dallas' defense, so he just threw it, but supposedly "still knew where Clark was." Yeah, okay Joe. If you made a play as memorable as that, would you ever tell anyone it was actually just a simple throw-away pass? Didn't think so, moron.

[FCM415]

why not? not every man in the world is a coward like you might be quote-a-fag. what does a 47 year old man(who won 4 superbowls, and made many more memorable plays than just this one) have to lose by lying about it. Defensive linemen tower over quarterbacks with their huge size and outstreched arms, but if you know your offense. its not a problem, remember that the westcoast offense is a system, not pitch and catch, moron. That's why he's Joe Montana, and your a piece of shit rotting somewhere.

[FCM415]

Quarterbacks throw the ball away to the sideline, not the endzone moron. And with les than 2 minutes left in the game on third down why the fucc would he throw the ball away. Are u sure we're talkn about the same sport? do u know what football is?

[quotemeonthat]

Huh?! Why would he throw the ball away? Did you not read what I typed shithead?! He didn't want to get sacked! Fuckin' idiot. Why would he throw the ball out of bounds in the endzone you ask?! How many fucking times do you see quarterbacks do that when they are about to be sacked? They do it all the time, dumbass.

[FCM415]

AND you say 'ohhh but well other quarterbacks throw the ball to the nosebleed seats behind the endzone' Its FUCCING Joe Montana, who have u been watching?Jon Kitna? WATCH THE PLAY DIPSHIT. LOOK AT THE WAY JOE THREW THE BALL. LOOK AT CLARKS ROUTE TO THE PASS. You're a fuccin idiot.

[FCM415]

Just cuz u like to be quoted doesnt mean the shit you get quoted on holds any truth.Stop putting out false information in fact just stop thinking with ur anus and telling the whole world about it.Its pieces of shit like u that make information in the internet not so believable whatever you do, DO NOT ever, EVER post a single letter of the alphabet on a wikipedia article

[metaldefender49]

Sorry ass cowbells fan??? J/k!!! Don't hate him cause he is the greatest!!!

[antfrommk]

Joe Montana's pass made me 8=D
