I don't know about the rest of you, but my "gaming" ability maxed out with the original NES. I still remember the day when we woke up on Christmas morning to find the Nintendo under the tree complete with the gun and the power pad. My brother actually fell to the floor, clutched the box in his arms, and kissed it. Our lives were never the same.
A few short years later my greatest love came into my possession, Tecmo Super Bowl. I played countless seasons with my beloved 49ers, sometimes going with the traditional Montana-led team, sometimes switching it up and letting Young lead the way. I'd always go into the offensive starters and switch Rice and Taylor so that Jerry could be at the top of the screen on the bootleg; worked every time.
Ever since the day the Nintendo stopped working right (you know what I'm talking about, blinking red light, damn thing won't stay on), I've always dreamed of the ability to play limitless Tecmo Super Bowl once again. A few years ago I got the dang thing to work long enough to play a whole season and win the championship, but it didn't last.
Well the other day all my prayers were answered in the form of
RockNES, a NES emulator for Mac OS X. I found Tecmo Super Bowl and I'm back in the saddle. It's glorious. I've also found Kung Fu, Ice Hockey, Rampage, and, heck,
tons of others I haven't even tried yet. I've tried to get an emulator before but never found anything that really worked or had Tecmo Super Bowl. This is the one. And I might never get anything else done for the rest of my life.
Matt Millen is a fucking terrible GM. Once again the Lions suck. And because they suck so bad they lost 31-13 to the 49ers, and they're now 0-3. So you could say that Millen, a former 49er, is still helping them by putting together another lousy team. He drafted a receiver in the first round like 12 years in a row. And yet Matt Millen still has a job. Even though the team's vice chairman wants to get rid of him.
