Tecmo Super Bowl Top 5 Players At Each Position Slideshow

[babymured]

Emmitt Smith Troy Aickman Micheal Irvin were ha they the best so

[ufan4life]

Ronnie Lott Andre Reed C'MON MAN

[thaboss51]

WTF where is Ronnie Lott man

[danwff18]

Da moment I saw Neal Anderson, I left the room

[funkyflights]

Great video.... Good job man

[uofm97]

Hey, kickers and punters are players too! lol

[newpageone]

TOUCHDOWN THURMAN THOMAS

[SammyJankis42]

Any best of TSB slideshow requires Gil Fenerty, the best KR in the game by a mile!

[valorghost]

qbs are good. rbs are good too. wrs are good. though reed was good too. tes nicely done also. defense looks good too. you know how to make a good list.

[MikeyKnox1]

keith jackson is raw that play where the TE does a short slant touchdown baby

[billy9828]

Ronnie Lott?

[MoFlusH]

49ers best time in the game!!!

[beeenstock]

tim brown marcus allen left out

[shadowmwo]

love the music. lol

[RingOfBob]

WTF where was Andre Reed

[drahm33]

Neal Anderson, my favorite ever! He makes the list awesome!

[crw2424]

whast with barry sanders being slow on this game??

[Stimchi]

@crw2424 barry sanders?slow?shit....he wasnt slow...especailly if the cpu controlled him...once he got past the line of scrimmage, you aint catchin him

[naterbater1985]

This is the best old school game music haha.

[gillianseed]

The Niners were just unstoppable in this game (specially in the playoffs). -Montana's weapons were infinite in Rice, Taylor, Jones, Craig, Rathman. -And even if Montana went down you had Steve Young to run the show!

-What was even more awesome is that it was EXACTLY like this in REAL LIFE for the 49ers back then... oh the good ole' days.

[crywithasmile87]

there really needs to be hosted some sort of Super Tecmo Bowl tournament somewhere...

[gtgober]

absolutely, there was a time when i couldn't be beat

[pookyboy9786]

awsome, my fav game off all time

[wherethepowerlies]

Straight up awesome man

[maxpapic]

Barry > Bo.

The man could not be stopped in the playoffs.

[heidimarier]

not saying he belonged in the top 5, but roger craig wag a greek god come playoff time. just sayin.

[Xclubkid22]

It is the best sports video game ever, so ahead of it's time, statistics, I still enjoy it

[AndiNeverSlice]

I love how Rod Woodson is white in the game

[charpet10]

Now THAT'S racism in the extreme.

[DerrvilleProductions]

well hes not that Dark

[opie353]

yep- he's the whitest black dude since michael jackson.

[leftyJR3]

why did they not know randall's name?

[Wisconsin3103]

he was not part of the NFL Players Association at that time the game came out (because of a contract holdout i believe), so they could not use his name

[yungbldk9]

no sterling sharpe????

[onblock7]

Deion not on there? I must have missed him but if not he deserves to be. Drew Hill was sick on that game, also Stephen Baker on the Giants if anyone ever used them, him and Mark INGRAM would catch every bomb you threw and were fast as hell, sick!

[egoscueg]

what about sterling sharpe?

[charpet10]

He's excellent but not outstanding...

[majinrick]

where is ELWAY

[blackconvoy]

All the other QBs listed were in fact better.

[charpet10]

Bobby Humphrey is a LOT better that Okoye.

Novacek is better than Jackson, and Eric Green should be 4th.

Greg Townsend and Richard Dent should be 4th and 5th in the defensive linemen.

Millard and Byrd should be the other way round.

Fulcher is the best Secondary, then Woodson, Haddix, Ronnie Lott and Richard Johnson.

[gtgober]

i tell you what, you play me w/ the broncos and I'll be KC. we'll compare stats after

I win.

[patg316]

Singletary......averaged about 100 sacks a season with just him. Seriously, LOL on real football, but this would be great for fantasy football today....could you imagine the stats?

[jdcole1978]

Bob Nelson is GOD on TSB.

[leeevans83]

joey browner??? and brent jones is way better than novacek.. also, drew hill is very close to rice, but definitely better than henry ellard

[kingofsting75]

you put neal anderson in the but no okoye?

[dl30wpb]

Okoye was in there, but he was after Neal Anderson lol... I always thought Okoye was the 2nd best after Bo in that game... He would truck over people to!!!

[dobravery]

I hated stopping Anderson more. But a lot of credit goes to Muster and the O line bumpin you. Okoye was awesome to play with, but I always felt he fumbled more than his ball control would suggest and it felt like he always got injured.

[srholton]

umm mark bavaro o and how bout RONNIE LOTT

[charpet10]

Bavaro's around the same as Cook, in my opinion.

[mcgrdy38]

No deion sanders or steve atwater for defensive backs, thats weak

[dl30wpb]

Yeah Atwater, Deion and Lott should have been 1,2 and 3 in whatever order you wanted to put them.... They were unstoppable... This list is good, but def flawed

[charpet10]

Did you notice Atwater has only TWENTY-FIVE INTERCEPTIONS???

[dl30wpb]

Who cares about INT's for a safety... Atwater put the fear of god in people when he played.. He would lay dudes out!!!!... I would much rather receivers and running backs be intimidated... I mean Deion could have probably doubled his number of INTS, but people were scared to throw his way... Don't get too caught up in numbers as this ESPN generation seems to do

[dobravery]

No way. Fulcher was a maniac. Woodson would tackle in the endzone on kickoffs. I'd play with TB for the sole purpose of getting picks with Haddix.

[onblock7]

HAHAHH WORD, Atwater was just FLAT OUT SICK on that game.

[charpet10]

Unless he was covering. I think Dennis Smith is better than him on DEN's secondary cause he can intercept...

[onblock7]

He was great at what he did, and that was lay you the hell out and put fear into you like someone said earlier, he was a pro bowl safety. Intercepting is not all things, you could get 2 a year and still be great on coverage and tackling etc., int's are not everything.

[kjackson2k1]

man, I loved how damn accurate the pictures were, for 8-bit system, that's damn impressive LOL

[InternationalBoy]

Bob Nelson was shitting as nose tackle in Tecmo bowl, insta sacs all the time

[Fins002]

Nice job, you even caught Jim Jensen in there at TE! In the game he's a back-up but he rules!

[fortun906]

Okoye was the best.

[84slaughter]

I AM THE ALL-TIME BEST TECMO BOWL PLAYER. I WILL BEAT ANYONE. i want to have a huge tecmo bowl tournament, is anybody interested?

[shuxion]

Seth Joyner was great in this game. My buddy Jon used him and was a freakin beast.

[prismryu]

hey this is great good times

do you think u could upload a longer version of the third song its my favorite in whole game besides the credits

[PeteHoffmeyer]

Also Okoye should be at least higher than Thurman. Thurman coughed the ball up and Okoye didn't.

[dobravery]

Okoye always coughed up the ball. Against the CPU if you happen to let Thurman go, he was gone. You could catch Okoye.

[opie353]

but good luck bringin okoye down- 95% of the time your guys would just bounce off

[gtgober]

try catching him when he is in excellent condition and for that matter just stopping him

[ApolloSpeed]

quickness does nothing....it is a programming glitch.

to prove this, try using Jets' Mcmillan....and then try Miami's Oliver...

They both have the same RS, RP, MS, but Mcmillian has 81 quickness verses oliver's 56 quickness.

You will notice NO diffence, "speed" wise.

[charismaCONFIDENCE]

marion butts should be on the runningback list.

[zjv001]

Needs The Fridge as a NT. I've had 50+ sacks with him everytime as the Bears. Is the guy from GB really good? How? I'm tempted to go play a season with GB now. Should of done Top 5 FB's.

1. Muster

2. Rathman

3. Heyword

4. Word

5. Mueller

[mrdisco]

For some reason, the programmers made Nelson incredible.

[Motown49001]

those stats look a lil off for the RBs

[johnsonbobbob]

richard johnson was the man throw on him i dare you

[Giacogol]

andree reed, deion sanders y cornelius bennett should be in this list.

[johnbourbon]

LT owned this shit.

[Husoku]

I meant to say "Long Live TSB" but I do love it haha

[Husoku]

Awesome, awesome videos. I agree 100% with every player you chose! I've never seen many of these pictures, it is very nice to be able to put their picture to their game character. Thank you very much! Love live TSB!

[kellysp77]

Where's Jerry Rice?! Drew Hill and Ernest Givens were good, but c'mon!

[odg4mayor]

jerry rice was number one on there lol , pay attention , wheres deion

[htiwflog]

Bob Nelson, he was the man, easily was the most dominating defensive player in that game. My only beef is with the DB's, my top 4 would be Deion, Woodson, Lott, and Fulcher. But I know Haddix (and Gill Byrd) always got lots of picks.

[gillianseed]

You could spend days pissing your opponents off with Bo Jackson, going back and forth. He was invincible, like he was in REAL LIFE! ... that is until he got injured :(

[jhoov23]

Bo Jackson !!!!!!! Wheres Ronnie Lott I dominated games with him

[22steve5150]

you had to be a fucking idiot to win by less than 50-0 using the eagles, that game made cunningham a fucking god.

[jimikimo]

I won many a super bowl using cunningham. Drop back 20 yards, toss a bomb to barnett, or just run for it. he was always the league leader in passing and rushing in my many seasons playing that game.

[mjh654321]

I use to love getting sacks with Deion Sanders. He could cover the whole field when condition was Good or better.

[joetodaro]

Cornelius Bennett should be in the linebackers. I got 300 sacks in one year with him once.

[andybizzbiz]

No you didn't idiot. Unless you were keeping stats manually (in which case you would be the biggest D bag of all time) the game only records sacks up to 61 per year. Nice try though homo

[joetodaro]

Yep, I used to keep stats manually, what do you want I was 11 when this game came out.

[krazyassjoe]

wow, you're an angry little thing, aren't you?

[dhic7g]

awesome game from back in the day..

[88cutty]

Tecmo BO is the greatest athlete in the history of the world! theres no contest.

[joetodaro]

QB Bills is a force to be reckoned with. The pass play B Right is unstoppable, nobody can cover Lofton or McKellar.

[LacrosseBoss]

I remember this music from somewhere! Man, that rocks!

[waterboy51]

Walter Payton and Dick Butkus aren't even on it

[wilbert916]

FUCK MADDEN! TECMO IS O.G AND THE BEST!

[EdibleAntiPerspirant]

These comments are hilarious and depressing at the same time. We have people citing Quickness ratings (which do nothing) and complaining about SOME d-linemen and linebackers are fast (when every defensive player is faster than every offensive player). And that's just on the first 2 pages.

[YieArKungFu]

Quickness is EVERYTHING for a defensive player you imbecile. You obviously have zero clue as to what you speak of. Sure every defensive player is faster when you're running down the ballcarrier, but there are certainly varying degrees of fast. Are you saying they're all the same? Use LT once then somebody else, tell me there's no diff. What is the diff... Quickness. Tell me you dont notice a correlation between Quickness and the speed of a def. player. Its quite obvious

[giantsfan97]

LT is easily the most dominant player in the Tecmo games. Anyone who knows how to use him properly can stop ANY offense.

[gripsmoke]

Actually, it's been proven that Quickness does nothing in the game. Either the programmers accidentally used the wrong value for something or decided not to bother with it. RS/RP/MS control the speed.

[TechCoordinator]

Ahh...the good memories.

NOW THATS GOOD MUSIC.

[derrville]

wheres Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin?

its bullshit how some d-lineman and linebackers are faster than Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders

[holli1re]

neal anderson absolutely whooped my ass on this game, glad he got some love

[onblock7]

LOL I used to be the Giants and Neal Anderson would always break one or two of those damn HUGE runs where I could not stop him or catch up, he was flat out SICK.

[steven4949]

I would have included Gil Byrd at DB and ranked Okoye a little higher but overall some good picks.

[sah0620]

Kudos for including Bob Nelson, he was a beast. I had 130 sacks in a season with him. And I agree, Sharpe should be on there, replaced Henry Ellard. Otherwise looks good. Bills = greatest overall team

[sirscore]

This is the greatest game ever created... simple.

[MrKCSaunders]

Whoa whoa whoa...Ronnie Lott? Where the hell was he?

[YieArKungFu]

The problem is youre just adding up the numbers to determine who the best are, but lots of it is meaningless (i.e. rushing power for NT's). Jerry Ball is a much better NT than Nelson, and Dent is a better DE than Long or Doleman (Quickness is GOD for defenders). As for DB's I wish you wouldve separated them into 2 catagories (CBs & safties), because some very good ones are left out (Lott).

[krazyassjoe]

your screen name is very funny. i still have nightmares about 'star', and 'pole'...

[fro30]

Jensen has 19 more reception than Edmunds.

And to the guy that said Doug Williams, well he's not in this game.

And I won't even comment on Elway being better than Moon in this game.

[sergeithebruiser]

Why was Jim Jensen selected over Ferrell Edmunds?

[suiminbusoku]

3 part post. All and all a pretty solid list.

Can't argue with the QBs (might've put Elway in in place of Moon as a pure QB, but Moon's supporting cast makes all the difference)

RBs on the money.

I agree that Sharpe should be in place of Drew Hill

(always thought Givens was the top guy in the Oilers squad). Anthony Miller and Andre Reed def. honorable mentions.

[suiminbusoku]

You could make DE and NT separate, but in either case, Jerry Ball was superior to Bob Nelson.

It's sad what happened to Dennis Byrd, but NO WAY does he or Millard belong in there above Pat Swilling. BTW, they are at LB because TSB only allowed for a 3-4, so one down lineman of a 4-3 team would be shifted back) I recall Charles Haley also being a monster (that mighta been the SNES version though...)

[YieArKungFu]

Ditto on Jerry Ball. Millard does deserve to be in there, he's awesome in the game (not real life), I dont know why they made him that good in the game but they did. Haley should be in there over Byrd though.

[suiminbusoku]

The most blatant omission has to be Deion Sanders at DB. (I think he may have had 81 Quickness) No undeserving guys up there, but maybe split up CB and S?

At any rate, lists like these never please everyone. Good work and nice presentation.

[YieArKungFu]

Deions quickness is only 50! Max speed is 75. The CB's he listed are all better (in the game anyway, not real life).

[domsquad13]

Sterling Sharpe easily in the top five and how about craig hayward as the greatest return man ever!

[tommylebowitz]

How is Darryl Green not in there? And why are Byrd and Millard listed as linebackers?

[YieArKungFu]

Darryl Green only has 31 Quickness & 44 Pass INTs in the game. Just another of the many examples of the players relative strengths not being realistic in the game. Kinda like how they have Millard being as fast as LT... (Yeah, in his wet dreams).

[SAHurls]

Ditto Sterling Sharpe. The guy catches everything within 10 yards of him.

[LivnDaEdge91]

forgot about Walter Payton and Ronnie Lott? Comn! dese are bootleg crap

[fro30]

Walter Payton isnt in Tecmo Super Bowl and although Ronnie Lott is a very good back in this game he isn't a top 5 DB.

[kwcfb82]

no ronnie lott?

[dukemjk]

Sterling Sharpe should be top 5 in WRs

[thecarlhafer]

Christian Okoye is a beast in the game! Fast as hell and you can't tackle him. I like using him more than Bo Jackson.

[SAHurls]

Until he gets hurt in Week 6.

[superdrum3]

I love how they never used Randall Cunningham's (QB Eagles) and Jim Kelly's (QB Bills) names. Especially considering Kelly was in the Super Bowl like seven times before that.

[supa250]

neither of those QBs were in the players association so they couldnt legally use their names...same with Montana when he moved to the Chiefs or Thurman Thomas on the SuperNES version....

[feersty]

Nostalgic

[llcooljoe]

finally, someone else who realizes how good wayne haddix was in this game.

[EdibleAntiPerspirant]

Everyone knows how good Haddix is.

[cubicleboy]

tim brown was way better than any of the oilers. nice vid though!

[logprof]

No love for the kickers? Where's Nick Lowery? Waymer was good all right, and Gill Byrd tore me up many a time in that game. Thanks for the memories. . . .

[JoelsHitShow]

Needs Dave Waymer, but still a great collection.

[Toad22484]

Nice job, loved it :D

[Ahhh26]

Nice vid Fro, although it lacks Jeff George....
