Article:Tecmo-izing The '09 Playoffs: Divisional Round



Tecmo didn't exactly make a stunning 2009 debut last week (1-3, just like Kelsdad predicted), but we're bringing it back at you nonetheless. Because, to be honest, who cares about accuracy at this point -- it's fun to run COM-vs-COM simulations of every playoff game just for the hell of it, am I right?

Anyway, here's the usual stuff I say before we can start playing:
 * 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 sit down and watch these games, or I'll have to lurch your QB with Mike Golic. Don't think I won't do it.
