Tecmo Super Bowl was the successor to the original Tecmo Bowl, which was released for the NES in 1989. While not nearly as good as Super Bowl, the first game laid down the basic concepts, visuals and gameplay that would be used to full effect two years later. Tecmo Bowl [F]eatured 12 teams—all based on real NFL squads—but since the game didn't have an NFL license, they were identified by their respective cities only and were represented by bizarre logos made up by the Tecmo developers. Strangely enough, Tecmo Bowl did have an NFL Players Association (NFLPA) license, so the real players of the day were included in the game. Also included were very brief stat lines from the previous season for each player, which the game used as a guide to measure player abilities.

Tecmo Super Bowl retained the arcade-style football gameplay of the original which included the ability to break tackles (many players had "94" hitting power ratings, giving them the ability break any non-sliding tackles; Christian Okoye was perhaps the strongest). However, the game added new features, such as statistics tracking that included All-Time NFL season records, expanded and editable playbooks[4] , the ability to substitute players, varying conditions of players, fumbles, and player injuries. As it had previously, the game used cutscenes for important events like touchdowns and halftime shows. Tecmo Super Bowl ... added cutscenes when injuries or big plays occurred.

While on the topic of Tecmo Bowl, it’s safe to say that Tecmo Super Bowl improves on just about every aspect of Tecmo Bowl. It’s probably one of the best games as a sequel of all time. "Super" sports all NFL teams and 64 plays in each playbook, of which you can select eight when you’re playing a season. The original only let you chose from four plays in the huddle, which was pretty lame.
