Dominating Like It's 1991

I've been playing some classic Super Tecmo Bowl, and this was ridiculous. The funny part is that it wouldn't be hard to produce unbelievable stats using the emulators, simply by saving the game, seeing what play the cpu chooses, loading that game and selecting the play. You could probably score a hundred points - especially if you altered their playbook to include fleaflickers to induce fumbles. (At some point, I may have to experiment with this just to see how many points are humanly possible in STB.)

But here's the thing, this game was played straight through. No reloads at all. I didn't even realize that they hadn't gotten a first down. And I know that got yardage on a number of plays, so I didn't consider that I would have enough sacks to cancel out their positive yardage.

Through the "NFL Leaders" stats pages I found out that Miller had attempted 4 passes and none of them were complete. He was injured. And they brought a QB named Millen in. He threw one pass and it was intercepted.

  1. What is going on? Talk about a weird coincidence. Rishi and I have also recently busted out the NES (and SNES) emulators. He's been obsessed with Punchout, and I've been playing a little bit of everything. It's some weird period of classic game revival or something.
