Which teams will meet in the Tecmo Bowl championship game?
  • Each Tecmo Bowl season is played on the NES console.  
  • We draft the teams, then randomly set up the division and conference alignment.  
  • Each Team gets 6 games at home(player 1) and 6 on the road(player 2) in the regular season.  
  • Divisional, conference, & inter-conference games are all factored into a complex & compelling scheduling process that makes each season a unique experience.
  • The final records determine playoff seeding, & inevitably the path to the Tecmo Bowl Championship.
  • After nearly 100 games per season, our newest Tecmo Bowl Champion is finally crowned.

Fredd Young was the dominant defensive player of the season.  Some traditional powers (Giants/Dolphins) were down that season, on account of inexperienced players controlling them, and failed to make the playoffs.
