Might want to give a description of what exactly a Tecmo Super Bowl is, unless I'm the only one who doesn't know.

Tecmo was an old video came maker. I remember playing this extremely primitive football game when I was younger.

More from Wikipedia:

Tecmo Super Bowl is an American football video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) that was released in 1991. Developed by Japanese video game company Tecmo, it was the first sports video game that had licensing privileges with both the league it sought to emulate (National Football League) and the player's association (National Football League Players Association), thus allowing the game to use both the names and attributes of real NFL teams and real NFL players. (Prior games used the real teams or the real players, but not both simultaneously.) Although the game was released in late 1991, all team rosters and player attributes were based on the prior 1990-91 NFL season, which means no rookies drafted in 1991, prior to the beginning of the 1991-1992 season, were added to the game.

The original game utilized the 1991-1992 NFL schedule only; therefore, playing multiple seasons with alternate schedules was not possible. The game was very successful in the final years of the NES[1] and, although more than 20 years old, it has maintained an extensive cult following.

Paperstacks had a good description of the game itself.  Quite frankly, if you're not familiar you won't really be interested in going though there are lots of people that just show up to watch.

Here is an article from the Journal Star about the event - http://journalstar.com/entertainment/sm ... e7291.html
