When I made a “16-bit” comment about our last Tecmo Bowl post, some people gave me grief because Tecmo Bowl is really an 8-bit game. But the first time I ever played it was on Super Nintendo, which was a 16-bit system. Just thought I’d point that out. But anyway, these pixelated incarnations of NFL highlights are the cat’s pajamas. That doesn’t mean that cats would sleep in them; that just means that they’re pretty sweet. But if your cat still doesn’t want to sleep naked, I can still recommend a medium-sized plastic bag. via, via.
Here’s the amazing Brandon Stokley catch from last week in Tecmo Bowl form. I’m blown away that somebody decided to reincarnate the play in this way…and do it well. Hey, that could be the play of the year, and we saw it in the first week of the season. Week Two will have its work cut out for it on Sunday. But with all the games potentially blacked out this weekend, it’s not like we’d ever know. as seen here.
