Tecmo Super Bowl was the landmark football game for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1991. While retro game lovers will still enjoy the collision-happy, absurdly fast-paced NFL game, its original roster studs like Bo Jackson and Lawrence Taylor are difficult to connect with for today's football fans. Thankfully, the Tecmo Super Bowl fan site TecmoBowl.org has created a modified update that includes the NFL's 2016-2017 rosters.
The new game, which TecmoBowl.org is offering for free as a download, includes the opening day rosters for each of the teams in the 2016-2017 NFL season, with modern dynamos like Aaron Rodgers and Von Miller gracing the screen. The update includes graphics as well, with the teams in the game sporting 8-bit renditions of their modern jerseys rather than the jerseys from the old game.
