Thursday marks the opening of the 2006 NFL season, and what better way to celebrate than with a review of NFL Quarterback Club for the 32X? If you’re a football fan, you’ve undoubtedly been awaiting the return of one of America’s most popular sports, and if you’re a 32X owner, you probably need another game to play! Check out the review and see if this is the one for you!
Ah the ’90s. A time when there were actually several football franchises from which to chose.

Football season is almost upon us, but why wait? Get yourself in the mood with our review of the first in Tecmo’s pigskin releases on the Genesis, Tecmo Super Bowl.
Let’s get this out of the way first: Yes, this is yet another Sega CD “TruVideo” title, which means lots of full motion video and very little gameplay. That’s definitely the case here. NFL’s Greatest is a football game where you don’t control any of the players. Everyone knows that the real draw of sports games is being able to play as your favorite sports star and lead a team to virtual victory. It’s titles like these that tell why the Sega CD failed.
Is Tecmo Super Bowl II: Special Edition worth hunting down this rare Genesis sports title? Probably not. While it’s a solid football game that won’t disappoint, it offers very little that the easier-to-find successor doesn’t.
