Tecmo Super Bowl is the absolute goat of football games.

I know in terms of competition, there wasn't much back then, but this game was incredible. It kept stats, players could get injured, it gave multiple modes to play, and gave us the Bo Jackson runs the clock out glitch.

I remember playing this as a kid and thinking how amazing it was that a game actually kept stats ( I didn't know Zelda existed yet).

Legit one of the favorite games growing up.

What killed me is when they did a battle pass, they did it initially for the right reasons. While it wasn't a lot, some of that money went to the artists that made the skins, some of it went to the players to increase the prize pool, and yeah some of it went into unlocking cool items. Hell, I think one of the TIs unlocked techies.

I think after TI 8, I was just done. TI hosts one of the biggest prize pools in gaming, and it should be much higher. I think the last time I checked, 15 or 20% went to the prize pool. I mean, that's horrible considering how much is dropped on TI each year.
