I watched a few videos from Pat back in the day, but I'm watching through the playlists and discovering gold now. That headband gag is perfection!

[@chriswaugh1177]

the head band joke is the funniest on all of the pat videos

[@OldSchoolCurt]

Hell yea shit had me rolling

[@Ksensei41]

the silent Rob :DD

[@Bubbabyte99]

Agreed.

[@fatjack2b]

We all had that friend like Kevin.

[@winstonpayne2163]

Why is it that Pat ALWAYS look like he has never slept in his life?

[@dirtycommtroop]

He's permanently stoned.

[@matthewlane518]

I always thought he wore eye liner

[@MaximumCarter]

I assume it's genetics? I've had the same issue my entire life. Everyone thinks I'm stoned or I'm an insomniac lol.

[@diddy1847]

He looks Greek, but what do I know?

[@garagegeekguy]

Staredown with the robot was AWESOME

[@tommytwotacos8106]

I loved the advertisement for Rygar on the scoreboard.

[@BaxterD]

the headband logo reveal is one of my favorite youtube moments. In my head I was thinking "its probably an awesome throwback to Houston Oilers".....reality was so much better.

[@j.b.2777]

This was the first football game I grew up with, and my Dad and Uncle played it constantly. That is, until Tecmo Super Bowl came out and blew us all away. I remember my stragety well... Just call a pass play, throw it from endzone to endzone, and hope for the best.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

funniest intro, dude. Was not expecting Just Dance 2 lol and then ROB just staring at you hahah

[@MetaSynForYourSoul]

Tecmo Bowl was like the NES version of NFL Blitz, a super fun, easy to pickup and play, fast paced, ultra violent football game. It was so awesome that even when Madden came out and my friends had Sega Genesis', we would still go back to good ol' 8-bit Tecmo Bowl.

[@Bigbacon]

those super long passes are one of the things I loved about tecmo/super tecmo bowl. always fun to run back to the other end of the field and passing to the end zone.

[@monkeyglue3]

Did anybody else see that photo, of who I'm assuming is Kevin, that lasted one frame at 8:56?

[@Bigleswade1]

I love the uncomfortable silence about "just dance 2" on the head band LOL!!!!!

[@fraxinellla]

Everything I know about football, I learned from Tecmo Bowl.

[@leroyvisiongames2294]

I can relate. Everything I know about guerilla wars comes from games like contra and Ikari warriors.

[@thegiantfinds]

Everything i know about submersible warfare i learned from silent scope.

[@thegreatsambino659]

Same

[@imJGott]

This was so....BADASS back in the day. My friends went on for days, months and years playing this growing up. The hype from the running plays was unreal! Friends cheering you on, man oh man it's priceless!

[@marccaselle8108]

When I was a kid, one of my neighbors had tecmo bowl for the Nintendo, I loved it then and I love it today. I even like the PS1 version.

[@hughjass5756]

This game sure helped me understand football. Played with the Raiders of course. Wish I played this much earlier.

[@nathanielbeven9052]

Rob's silence was so simplistic yet so damn funny to me. Thanks again, Pat.

[@birdfanboi]

The music goes well with pats frustration during the pat and robs playthrough.

[@TotallyRadical]

It's really a damn shame this video doesn't have more views

[@youdud44]

Tecmo SUPER BOWL will forever be known as the greatest football game on the NES.

[@Rgoid]

youdud44 AVGN hates it.

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Indianapolis, Washington, San Fran, Seattle, Minnesota, Cleveland, Denver, Chicago were all playoff teams in 1987-1988. So they were the BEST that year, For some reason Seattle was put in over Houston, whom they lost to, and New Orleans was not included either (they lost in the first round). Throw in 4 very POPULAR teams from major franchises (New York, Miami, LA, Dallas), and yes they are THE BEST AND MOST POPULAR teams. Thanks for playing!

[@TECMOBOWLvsRBI]

Tecmo Bowl is primarily based on the 1987 season. However with my research of player rosters, Tecmo Bowl features some special teams players that had prominent roles in 1986, but not 1987. The SF kick returner Derrick Crawford last played in 86 for example, but is included in Tecmo Bowl. That suggests Tecmo started to put together ideas about which team to include before the 1987 season started.

[@thesaskatchewankid]

This review gave me the warm fuzzies in addition to being informative about some game components I was unaware of in my formative years. Well done, Patrick!

[@mr.monster91666]

Some of my greatest memories as a child were playing tecmo Super Bowl with my dad

Kevin came back as R.O.B.

[@brandonwenzel2844]

With his judgmental stare.

[@Sabiancym]

I still play Tecmo Super Bowl today. I just mod the players and teams for todays NFL. Its Epic.

[@BrotherBoresIsBest]

It was cool to see him featured on AVGN's video. AVGN is a really cool guy who gives anyone a chance to prove himself.

[@jettcord6834]

This review was hilarious! Damn you, Kevin!!!

[@ChairmanMeow1]

I used to write down stats from games in a notebook and act like it was a professional season

[@Toasty_Gaming]

What about techmo SUPER bowl on NES?

[@metalngames509]

Oh yeah Tecmo $#%&^$%#^

[@EaterOfBoners]

The headband gag was priceless. Kudos for making me choke on my water.

Does anyone remember on ATHF, Carl was trying to sale Giants jerseys but it turned out the said Gnats instead.

[@GOMBERMAN]

Always excited when i come home and see a new video

[@gamecollect101]

This was great, Tecmo Bowl was/is and will always remain one of the biggest classics released on the Nes. It was guaranteed that either you or your neighbor had a copy of Tecmo Bowl. Highly popular game back in the day. Gem.

[@cedricmussi517]

review Tecmo Super Bowl

[@stanosijek]

Y U no film in HD?

[@Chukwillard]

The 3 things that kept me from playing Tecmo Bowl were that it didn't have all the teams, it didn't keep stats, and you couldn't play a season. Tecmo Super Bowl resolved those issues.

[@deadaccount7520]

was a game highlight of my youth. had a tournament at a friend's birthday party. with the 1 rule being no raiders (bo Jackson). Al being game nerds I felt all else was fair. was surprised no one objected to my pick of San Francisco. until the finals when my opponent figured out there is a pass that cannot be stopped no matter what you do. Walter Payton wasn't enough as the 49ers cruised to victory.

[@cole8740]

Was the clip around 10:30 from the dark knight rises?

[@jouflow]

Nope, that's from The Lady and the Tramp.

[@zooropa04]

The headband bit will never get old for me.

[@MrIEatDirt]

Hey! Where is the track at 12:35 from? Thats not nes

[@SuperACG]

I'm only just now getting into your videos after watching James Rolfe's vids for years...I LOVED Tecmo Bowl, and thanks for making this vid. I always played 1 player, so I had no idea 2nd player play choices had an effect on the game! Now I need to dust off my NES...

[@Lowmandavis]

What good dose looking at the other persons controller do cant you see theme select it on the screen

[@docj09]

i remember back in like NCAA football 2004 when they had the classic teams and the all american teams Mike Vick was like Bo Jackson...you would play on Heisman level and run laps on the field and score TDs cause the defense had almost no concept of cutting off angles and just chased after guys.

[@rustyshackleford6531]

No one cares.

[@Keithmwalton]

***** ha

[@oliverfyffe4931]

This review was great the idea of reviewing a Super Bowl game was just plain awesome I usually don't play sports games that much but this one is no exception.

Rob's "face" was the best! hauhwuhauhwuahuwhaw Rob is my favorite!

I liked Tecmo Super Bowl better cause it had Detroit, and I could use Barry Sanders.

This, Walter Payton is the Bo Jackson of that game. Sweetness is amazing. Also good timing Pat with this review to youtube. I saw this originally on your site, but I'll watch it again.

DAMMM THIS VIDEO TOOK ME BACK B.. I REMEMBER PLAYING THIS GAME ON A BLACK & WHITE TV LOL- THE STRUGGLE WAS PASS REAL, IT WAS LIFE!

[@kascnef]

tecmo bowl as well as nes pro action football drew me into nfl games...then madden came along and blew it oiut of the water. NFL 2k was pretty good..wish it would come back.

[@Pandahboymtg]

I love Rob's judgemental stare.

[@gageschleser6307]

WHOA WHOA WHOA there Pat! Ya think you can go back and start over and go a bit slower? I didn't quite catch any of that.

[@marcbotts5165]

Going threw the punk back log again. This was a good one

[@jakeryanadams007]

About time Pat reviewed another NES game!!!

[@Harperlarp]

I don't like American Football but I have been known to enjoy a game or two based on the sport. Chief among which is Madden 2005 on the PS2, that game was like crack to me for about 6 months. I loved all the team management just as much as playing the games. If we're talking about classic American Football games I'd have to go for the original Madden '94 on Mega Drive.I loved that game and knew how to recover the ball after a punt every damn time lol. I had a friend that owned an NES but I grew up with a Mega Drive. I'll show myself out...

[@BronzeLincolns81]

Still the second best football game ever behind TSB.

[@StormTwip]

Yudo NeidaNo yes

[@brandonwhitson1611]

I cant remember if it was this or techmo superbowl or if they are one in the same, but, i remember there was a team or a few teams on this game that had a play were u could throw 99 yard touchdown passes with ease almost everytime, i use to dominate my friends and cousins with that play, this was a great old school football game, and one of my fondest old school game memories, excite bike , mike tyson punch out, zelda, techmo bowl, ninja turtles,,we had it pretty good back in those times, i had the dragon quest games and so many others that would be worth money now days, hell my games wound up being worth more than my cards and comics. Go figure. Wish i had not of sold them years ago

[@kevindiaz3459]

LOL, your friend spied on your plays! We had a rule, defense chooses first, for both Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl.

[@thegiantfinds]

Probably my favorite Photoshop cover of Pat lol

[@mikelovasco684]

What game's music is at the very beginning of the vid? Driving me crazy!!

[@mikelovasco684]

Paperboy.

[@weldin]

I don't know why but when I saw the opposite end zone it said D.E. so automatically, I thought about Delaware. One part of me wants to punch the other part in the face.

[@ezequielgomez7083]

For me I like playing Tecmo Bowl on Game Boy the team I play as Chicago Team

[@DocSicnarf]

Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl are both extremely awesome games.

[@joshuatimbol696]

I’m still conflicted about the word “Super Bowl” nowadays thanks to the 2019 Halftime Show. F*****g Sicko Mode.

[@Bubbabyte99]

Ikr? I was SO ready for "Sweet Victory" from Spongebob to start playing when that cameo popped up, but nope! Just a cameo! Stephen Hillenburg was rolling in his grave when that happened, I swear.

[@DeadKoby]

I don't even like Football as a game... but Tecmo Bowl was fun to play with friends.

[@Caridani23]

Hey any NES basketball and baseball games good on this console as well?

[@briangorman9713]

LOL that friend-betrayal rant was incredible

[@CybeastID]

You should play Tecmo Super Bowl...

[@Bubbabyte99]

As someone who isn't really big into sports and knows nothing about football, this entire review went right over my head. Seriously, it's like you're speaking an entirely different language! Lol

[@codmobster5229]

In tecmo bowl I use to run my receiver's straight out, the play was down and A on the controller, and would run my qb all the way back and bomb it into the end zone. 8 times out of 10 it was a touchdown!!!!

[@thedeffil]

What is that NIntendo song at the very beginning of the video?

[@LorenHelgeson]

+Anthony McMillan That would be the NES version of Paperboy.

[@sethmorano1509]

I've been playing Madden 2004. I was wondering it you could review that game. (or Madden 2002)

He only does old school games. 2004 is not old school.

[@sethmorano1509]

Hey there's nothing wrong with mixing it up.

[@MacGuffinExMachina]

Seth Morano There is when you've built a brand around a certain theme. your way of thinking is why MTV has no music, IFC quit showing mostly indie films, etc. He's Pat the "NES" Punk. Plus, modern sports games aren't as interesting to talk about.

Boy do I remember this one.I wanted this game for xmas,but there wasnt money to buy it.I started to scream everywhere I go "I want the bowl game" for hours.Turns out that my parents already bought it along with Castlevania...Never did I yelled like that.

[@Kentama]

R.O.B.'s pause at 2:00 is classic.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Friends don't let friends look at each other's controller.

[@leroyvisiongames2294]

I don't like sports games really at all but I will admit I liked the soundtrack. I wish tecmo would've used that in a ninja Gaiden game too, it could work in a sky or mountain themed level or someplace where peppy, energetic music fits in.
