And on the way to becoming a touchstone, the game has helped mythologize a generation of athletes. In fact, TSB has been part of two national ad campaigns this year alone. While the Madden series is updated annually, the original Tecmo Super Bowl persists. As former 49ers running back and Tecmo weapon Roger Craig put it, "That shit was fun." The game never aspired to true-to-life simulation, but it was as addictive as Tetris. You could kill off an entire quarter with a single Barry Sanders touchdown run, launch a 100-yard pass with Dan Marino, and send Bruce Smith out to maul blockers en route to crushing a ball carrier halfway across the field. Though the 8-bit classic featured all 28 NFL teams (this was 1991), expansive rosters, and a detailed playbook, TSB’s not-so-realistic quirks made it the best sports game of all time. Using only two buttons and a directional pad, children of the late 1980s and early 1990s could turn their favorite players into whirling superhumans. Released 25 years ago next month, Tecmo Super Bowl provided the ultimate in sports geek wish fulfillment. The 6-foot-1, 253-pound force scored 40 touchdowns and made two Pro Bowls over six seasons with Kansas City - but the Nigerian Nightmare’s legend lives on due to his digital avatar’s freakish ability to shed tackles in a digital world. Okoye, 55, has met hundreds of similarly euphoric devotees of the old Nintendo game. That brief exchange, which happened this October at Arrowhead Stadium, is far from unique. "Man," the approaching fan said, "you were a monster in Tecmo Super Bowl." It was a look the retired Chiefs running back had seen before, one he’d become accustomed to encountering.
