Tecmo Super Bowl (USA)

Tecmo Super Bowl is a classic American football video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) released in 1991. Developed by Tecmo, it's known for being one of the first sports video games to have licensing privileges with both the National Football League (NFL) and the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), allowing the game to feature real NFL teams and players.

Here's a brief guide on the controls and how to play:

Controls:

1. D-Pad: Use the directional pad to control your players' movements.
2. A Button: Used for selecting options in menus.
3. B Button: Used for selecting plays in the playbook menu and for snapping the ball during a play.
4. Start Button: Begins the game, pauses the game during play, and confirms selections in menus.
5. Select Button: In some versions of the game, it can be used to call an audible (change the play) before the snap.

How to Play:

1. Select Your Team: When you start the game, you can choose your team from the NFL. Each team has different strengths and weaknesses based on their real-life counterparts.

2. Choose Your Play: Before each offensive play, you'll have a menu of plays to choose from. Use the B button to cycle through the available plays. Once you've selected a play, press B again to confirm it.

3. Offensive Play: After selecting a play, you'll control the quarterback. Use the D-pad to move your QB and the B button to snap the ball. Once the ball is snapped, you can pass it to a receiver by pressing the B button again or run with the QB by moving him with the D-pad.

4. Defensive Play: When you're on defense, you'll control one of the players. Use the D-pad to move your player and try to tackle the ball carrier or defend against passes.

5. Scoring: The objective of the game is to score touchdowns or field goals if you're on offense, and to prevent the opposing team from doing the same when you're on defense.

6. Managing the Game: Pay attention to the game clock, downs, and yardage. You'll need to make strategic decisions about when to pass, when to run, and when to punt or go for it on fourth down.

7. Winning the Game: The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Tecmo Super Bowl follows standard NFL rules, so touchdowns are worth 6 points, and you can kick extra points for 1 point or go for a 2-point conversion.

The game is known for its simplicity and fast-paced action. It's great for multiplayer matches and has remained popular among retro gaming enthusiasts. Enjoy your time playing Tecmo Super Bowl!
