Tecmo Super Bowl

Screenshots1 / 2

A football field viewed from above displays two teams of pixelated players lined up in formation across the yard lines. The top left shows score information reading '0-BILLS' with '43:39' and '78-HAND' displayed. White field markers and yard numbers are visible at 10, 20, and 30-yard lines. Players are rendered as small colored sprites arranged in offensive and defensive formations on the bright green field. The play appears to be set up with the ball near the center of the formation.
