Probably should have a set matchup
But if people want a set matchup we can do that

I've never played Tecmo Super Bowl in my life either.
Well I figure everyone will play as the Giants, Bills, etc.

I think we should do a set matchup. Makes the margin of victory mean more and will have consistency. Or you could do 2 different matchups we could choose to add a small bit of diversity
I'never played any of these two games, but give them a try. Especially Tecmo Super Bowl will be a challenge. Like most people here in Europe, I don't know anything about the rules of American Football, so this is going to be interesting.
Luckily for you Tecmo Super Bowl is a football game made by people who don't know anything about football, loved by people who don't know anything about football

Not a terrible first run. I got to the Forest Fortress and absolutely could not remember what I did to defeat it before

UN Squadron - 53,500
I played around a bit with UN Squad last night as well, just not great at it, maybe by month end I can post up a decent score. Love Tecmo Super Bowl, this is one of my favorites. Played it a ton with my Uncle as a kid.
Anyone have any tips for UN Squadron? Plane, upgrades, etc?
I like the A-10, very helpful for the Water Level, and I know I used it to beat the Forest Fortress. I just don't recall exactly how
And the plane below that might be necessary for one of the next set of levels that has a ceiling boss
Sorry, memory is failing me here
I played some un squadron. Just kept playing not trying to get a pic till i learn the game more. Beat the first level. I suck at this game. Well i guess many would if they havent really played much of it before.

I like the A-10 as well but find that you can beat everything leading up to the second to last stage (top right set of triangles - need upward shooting weapons) with the F-20 (second plane). It has air and ground weapons. Once you have it leveled up it can tear through the fortress and battleship (shoot head on to the turrets and guns while at far left side of screen). When you have to make a pass drop ground weapons. I find that the Phoenix missles for the F-20 really come in handy on most stages as well as they can keep you from getting hit. Use the F-20 on each stage until you reach the last two stages and then destroy trucks until you have the cash to buy the Efreet (and weapons for it). You can wait until the second to last stage (top right set of triangles) if needed before upgrading your plane, and you can use the YF-23 to beat that stage (need a plane with upward shooting weapons), but I find the YF-23 isn't worth buying since the Efreet can equip all weapons and you need some serious firepower for the last stage. The game is challenging but it actually has hidden power ups in well placed spots so if you know where they're at the stages are easier. I also find Greg to be the best pilot. Seems like he can either take more damage or recovers faster.
Upped my tecmo score margin to 25 (35-10)Will be tinkering with different matchups the rest of the month.

Feel the same way about UN, guess Tecmo will be my stronger game this month.
i know your score starts over but just wondering
Pretty interesting choice of a game. Never really enjoyed other sports games, so I guess I overlooked this like all the others. To my disbelief, this was a really fun play to say the least. Kind of easy though, I just kept trying the first two choices for offense and defense and it seemed to work out fine. Still, so close to number one! Only 1 point off

Hmm, not sure what's going on there, but that doesn't appear to be Tecmo Super Bowl for SNES. Which game are you playing?
Oh and I don't believe Bo Jackson is as overpowered in the SNES version. So not sure how good the Raiders would be
he isnt on the snes version. stopped playing in 1990. career cut short due to injury
