Tecmo Super Bowl (which was followed by Tecmo Super Bowl II and III) has maintained a strong cult following of nostalgic, dedicated players who grew up on the game. The original title has been rereleased several times over a variety of platforms: Super Nintendo, XBox, Playstation, Nintendo DS, Sega Genesis. Those like Murray, who still trek to tournaments around the country and take time to cultivate the occasional league, still prefer the old to the new.
“They always go back to the wrong version,” Murray laments, when discussing how they redesign the game. “The Super Nintendo version. It looks better but it’s slower and doesn’t have the same feel. I don’t want to say people hate it but it’s not the same thing.”
