I'm 40 now. When I came up, with Atari 2600, football games looked like this...





Today, we can find our favorite gridiron heroes looking like this...

 

[Hineswardkickedurpanzyass]

at least your game resembled Nomadic Trolls. My Texas Instruments football game looked like this....******* pixilated helmets with a white dot for the football.

And yeah, the games now are insane. Almost makes me want to drop $75 on one.

I was the one kid on the block who had Intellivision and not Atari. The sports games were way better. These guys had moving limbs in 1983!

Don't you guys be hatin' on the old skool stuff. Dat **** was da bomb diggety back in the day.

Madden Football hasn't been good since like 2006. It's a bloated piece of crap now.

They don't even have a mode where you can play a regular season any more. The whole game is based around stupid *** online play. Like I want to sit and talk **** back and forth to 16 year olds the entire time I'm trying to play a game. Not interested.

I remember breaking 100pts on NES Playaction football. Onside kick recoveries every time!!

Looks like Rog played that old Atari football. A TD = 7 points with no kick. No wonder he's so ******* confused about this game he comishes...

Tecmo Super Bowl, if you were the NT (Gerald Williams, is i think who it was) you could beat the center untouched every play. I don't know if it worked with DT's in the 4-3 D or not, i was never any other team besides the Steelers.

Id bend the "feelers" and get it just right, touchdown! Once about every 100 try's. Did suck, but we didn't know any better at the time, so it was it.

Word. We played "smear the queer" but kids today could never play that.

****, we played that all the time!!!!!!! Even in school, lol . I could just see my math teacher and the scandal in todays day and age. He use to join in and we purposely feed him the ball so we could get him. He was a good sport. Times have changed and at that time, I just knew the guy with the ball, was the queer. Sexual orientation wasn't the factor, how innocent the child's mind was, thanks society.

I mentioned smear the queer the other day in front of my wife and kids. My 14 YO daughter laughed and said I wasn't allowed to say that. I laughed and said finish your broccoli. My son (who doesn't have an athletic bone in his body) was probably thanking God that they don't have games like that anymore.

 

[Steelerfan]

Funny story. LOL

Ha ha, I'd forgotten about that onside kick exploit! Those were the days.

You are in the wrong neighborhood, might be something in the air or water.
