As always, anyone who wants to play NES/SNES Tecmo Super Bowl online, hit me up on AIM: EscapePlan9

This game was insanely fun until we realized that any nose tackle in the league could get 20+ sacks per game just by mashing buttons on every snap.

It obviously was broken after that point, but still fun if you could restrain yourself.

Also, I remember how some guys just could not adjust to playing right to left in 2-player mode. One guy just gave up the game becuase it frustrated him so much.

It was awesome when you first realized it though! That move is banned everytime I play TSB with anyone (and for good reason).

Wow. First time I've heard someone with that problem in TSB! I know with Street Fighter 2 it took me a while to get used to consistently performing shoryukens from 2nd player position due to inexperience.

One of the things that I like about online TSB(I play at the same site as Escape) are the rules.

# WR and TE are not allowed to run the ball except on reverses designed for WR's
# No Using the 4th man down on FG and XP
# Onside kicks are allowed.
# Skipping the coin toss is allowed. The coin toss is random anyway.
# Using the Defensive Linemen is not allowed.
# Please allow the team on defense to pick their defender before the ball is snapped.
# You can only go to the do substitutuions or check conditions TWICE a game.

With the nose tackle dive illegal online it really opens up the game and offensive playbook.

In case anyone wants to check out the site its

If they just made TSB an Xbox Live Arcade title, I would rush out to the stores and buy a 360 right now. I would prefer the orignal SNES version for reasons people have already mentioned. We'll see how the new one turns out.
