| Tecmo Bowl is great because no two games are ever the same. Some things can be expected; like the computer going for an onside kick when they're down 70-0 in the 4th quarter, defenses diving and missing when you do the "zig-zag" running technique, and Dan McGuire throwing at least one interception per game. However, every once in a while something happens that is so profound, so ridiculous, and just so uncommon... it can only be blamed on the whims of the Tecmo Gods and be called an ODDITY. The following are things that have to be seen to be believed, but in this case, you'll just have to believe us! |
