Tecmo Super Bowl marks its debut on the Genesis after enjoying success on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The game features both the NFL and NFLPA licenses, 28 teams, three different schedules (1990-93) with eighteen weeks each, and battery backup to save statistics and standings. For those new to the series, the game uses a horizontal view of the field with a strong emphasis on arcade action. Yet the game doesn't skimp out on team management functions typically found in simulation oriented games. You can customize your playbook, adjust the quarter length in one-minute increments, substitute players who are in poor condition or injured, or choose coach mode which involves just calling the plays. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
