Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these teams uses their quarterback's real name?

Answer: Miami Dolphins

Dan Marino is used by the Dolphins. Jim Kelly of the Bills goes as QB Bills, Randall Cunningham of the Eagles goes as QB Eagles, and Bernie Kosar of the Browns goes as QB Browns.

2. How many players are on each side of the ball during game play?

Answer: Eleven

In the original "Tecmo Bowl", using only twenty total players on the roster, only nine players were on either side. "Tecmo Super Bowl" uses thirty players on each roster. Another interesting fact is that defensive players could not be substituted for, nor injured.

3. How many teams, not including Pro Bowl teams, are featured?

Answer: Twenty-eight

Since "Tecmo Super Bowl" was released in 1991, there were only twenty-eight teams in the game. The Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, and Baltimore Ravens are not in the game.

4. Who is the starting running back for the Houston Oilers?

Answer: Lorenzo White

Lorenzo White was drafted by the Oilers in 1988 out of Michigan State. White rushed for 2066 yards in 1985 for the Spartans.

5. Who is the backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers?

Answer: Steve Young

You can't go wrong with the 49ers if a good quarterback is what you are looking for. With Joe Montana as the starter, and Steve Young as the backup, San Francisco gives quite a one-two punch at QB. Both players are in the Hall of Fame.

6. What is the most points you can score in a single game?

Answer: 99

There were only two digits on the scoreboard in "Tecmo Super Bowl." You can still get credit for scoring a touchdown or kicking a field goal, but it will not show up on the scoreboard once you get to 99.

7. The Seattle Seahawks are in the AFC in "Tecmo Super Bowl".

Answer: True

"Tecmo Super Bowl" was released several years before Seattle moved to the NFC. It wasn't until 2002 when the NFL realigned the divisions that Seattle made the jump to the NFC.

8. In "Tecmo Super Bowl", the AFC East is made up of five teams. Which of these is one of them?

Answer: Indianapolis Colts

Indianapolis moved to the AFC South after the realignment in 2002 where they had won every division championship between 2003 and 2007. Prior to 2002, the Colts were in the same division as the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, and New York Jets.

9. Now, a question about the AFC Pro Bowl team. There are four running backs on the team. Which of these backs is not one of them?

Answer: Christian Okoye

Christian "The Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye was left off the roster. Okoye had a brief NFL career, but led the NFL in rushing yards in 1989 with 1480.

10. The Raiders hailed from Oakland in "Tecmo Super Bowl".

Answer: False

The Raiders were playing their home games still in Los Angeles during this time. The Raiders had success while playing in LA, winning three division championships and one Super Bowl in 1983.
