I'm a 23-year-old Georgia Tech grad who lives and dies with the Yellow Jackets, Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics. I'll also catch the odd Braves game now and then.

Tecmo-izing The '09 Playoffs: Wild Card Weekend

Okay, you guys know the drill by now... Tecmo. The NFL Playoffs. COM-vs-COM simulations of every game. Good times.

A few introductory notes before we start the show:

  • I didn't make this ROM -- a user named "drummer4god" at Knobbe.org's message board did, and you can download it here. Without his hard work, as well as the hard work of everyone at that board, a project like this would be impossible. So thanks, guys, and great work.
  • The emulator I'm using is FCE Ultra v2.0.3.
  • Props as well to Greg the Ex-'Burgher, for originally doing something like this three years ago, and for introducing me to the wonderful world of the TSB Repository in the first place. I don't know if that guy even blogs anymore, but he deserves some credit here.
  • This site and the Sportscenter Altar provided the super-dope NFL Primetime music you hear over the highlights.

Now, get ready for some football, 8-bit style!

Thanks, Rawb. It's nice to be able to do this for a 2nd straight year. And if there's any upside to the Patties missing the playoffs, it's that I no longer have to endure accusations that I'm rigging the games in their favor... :)

...And, once again, LT plays poorly in the playoffs. It's a damn shame!

McNabb had a real ugly game here, too. I'm rooting for the Eagles to fulfill my preseason Super Bowl pick, so let's hope Tecmo gets it wrong in this case. As for the Chargers, though... screw those guys.

I was so glad to see the always classy Chargers stink it up this year if for no other reason than those tool bag Charger fanboys who cried like babies when you predicted that the Broncos would win the division. But to no avail, the Chargers somehow backed into the playoffs.
