King of 94 - NHL 94 Tournament in Vegas

This is an event that happened in Vegas this past 30th of September and thought it was neat to mention it. The grand prize was 10k so that's nothing to sleep over for. As many fans of the NHL series have said it before, NHL 94 is by far the best NHL game ever released and therefore still has a huge fan base to this day. Move over NHL 2017, this is the real deal! The tournament was separated into two groups, one for Nintendo and another of Sega. E-sports lives on even in retro gaming!

Retro Gaming News: Tecmo Super Bowl 2015

"

Description:

Tecmo Super Bowl is the greatest sports video game of all time. Now, 23 years after TSB made 8-Bit legends of Bo Jackson and Lawrence Taylor, TecmoBowl.org proudly announces the release of Tecmo Super Bowl 2015. This site’s 8th yearly iteration updates Tecmo’s NES classic with up-to-date rosters, graphics, schedules and play books for all 32 NFL squads. Additionally, the 4-3 defense has been added for teams who run this base defense.

Playable on multiple platforms and operating systems via NES emulation software, Tecmo Super Bowl 2015 brings Nintendo’s bone-crunching classic to today’s computers and handheld devices.

Will offenses fear Patrick Peterson like they feared Rod Woodson? Who is the more deadly play-caller: Peyton Manning or Joe Montana? Will Matt Schaub have a Grogan-esque ending to his career? Loaded into an NES Emulator, Tecmo Super Bowl 2015 will make legends for the next 23 years.

Tecmo Super Bowl 2015 Includes…

- 4-3 Defenses - Several teams employ 4-3 defenses. The “RT” (Right Tackle) will show up as the LILB on the rosters.

- 32-Team ROM

- Rosters current as of 9/2/14

- Adjustable quarter length

- Playbook editing in-game

- Player 2 attributes now display correctly

- Halftime stats

- Passing Accuracy hack is different from last year. Pass Control determines if a pass will be completed. Passing Accuracy determines if the ball will be on target.

- Quickness now works. This will be the maximum speed of a defender if they pick up a fumble or make an interception

- In order to get the proper Pro Bowl players, you may need to reset the season from the Schedule menu.ProBowl rosters are based on the new fantasy “Rice vs Deion” format. At this time you are not able to replace players from either conference.

Thanks to:

Jstout, Bruddog, Cxrom, Bad-Al & Buck for the hacking knowledge and tools. Members of TecmoBowl.org for helping to beta test and for making this all worthwhile.
