It’s a video game-themed week this week at SB Nation, which is exciting for me because I am a lifelong, gigantic nerd. I got my first NES in 1989 and have been playing games ever since.
I’ve fallen out of love a bit with sports games over the years—I pick up a new Madden every 3-4 years, but the year-over-year changes aren’t usually that impressive—but some of my favorite memories are from those games. I played the hell out of Tecmo Super Bowl for the Super Nintendo back in the day, chasing undefeated seasons with Chris Miller bombing passes to Andre Rison and Michael Haynes.
