Possible spoilers for future lists of mine but yeah Tecmo Super Bowl is a top 100 for me too. I just love how fun everything about the game is - like not just the simple-but-entertaining football gameplay that is surprisingly advanced for a 1991 (?) game, but also the visuals and the music, it just evokes this feeling of a more joyful and optimistic version of the NFL than anything that's ever actually existed. The tunes are so goddamn catchy and the graphics are such a fun encapsulation of like, Japan's distanced idea of what american football is like. I semi-frequently download the fan-made patches that update the rosters (and teams) in the game and play through a season or two, it's still more fun to me than any Madden game will ever be. Madden just feels like a joyless experience compared to Tecmo Super Bowl.
