Tecmo tournament

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

I want to do this but I do not know how to set this up.

You're thinking original Tecmo Bowl, aren't you?

I think this is Tecmo Super Bowl.

Nothing beats a game that lets you play with the 1991 'Skins, though they're not a great team to use in the game.

I edited my original post with more info.

Use [URL="http://myipaddress.com/show-my-ip-address/"]this[/URL] to find your IP.

It's also a good idea to use AIM in order to chat back and forth prior to setting up a game. Let's share our AIM names here, mine is kyerm72

I think we should limit a tournament to maybe 12 players or so, just so some people don't get stuck with a shit team.

I figure once we have the field set, we can have a draft to pick our teams.

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

This is a good site for info regarding Tecmo and nesticle

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

I can always help walk you guys through getting set up. I'll try to pop on AIM tonight for a while, maybe we can play a game or two.

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

I hate to say it.....

but I was ALWAYS the Giants in this game. Dave Meggett + Lawrance Taylor + Otis Andersen= Dominance

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

my AIM name is AKMPI8588

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

The Giants were pretty bad ass. I liked the Lions and the Bears a lot because they had blazing fast RBs, and Chris Spielman and Mike Singletary were blazing fast defenders and they were perfectly positioned.

Still though, it was hard to beat Derrick Thomas at OLB flattening the QB and Christian Okoye smashing defenders all over the place. The Chiefs were amazing fun.

I'll try to be online tonight after 9:00 pm or so.

I highly advise against anyone attempting to challenge me in MarioKart. It would be very unwise.

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Damn, I've got to get my USB controller from my Mom's house. That's a deal breaker right there...

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Once I get a controller, I may just have to play a few games.

I always went with the power running game (Lions, Bills, Chiefs, Chargers (Marion Butts), Bears) but never the Raiders because my buddy would always use them.

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

How do you minimize the Nesticle window so you can toggle back and forth between it and AIM?

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

[quote=SmootSmack;307362]How do you minimize the Nesticle window so you can toggle back and forth between it and AIM?[/quote]

Nesticle has a chat program under the Net header. Just use AIM to exchange IP's and decide who's going to host, then go into Nesticle and use the chat window there.

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Alright, I'd love to join in, but I'm having some issues...

I've got the two files on my desktop 'TSBNES' and 'NESTICLE'. But when I doubleclick on the tsbnes file, Windows cannot open it; it says "windows needs to know what program created it..." blah blah blah.


Hopefully these questions don't make me look like a dumbass.

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

You can do two things. First, you can just drag the file onto the little nesticle icon. That will automatically load the game your trying to play.

Secondly, you can run nesticle first, and click FILE, then open... and then you have to search where you downloaded the game file and select it.

YES! Thank you Rob!

Once I get back into my Tecmo groove -- watch the eff out!

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Alright. Problems yet again :rolleyes:

I can get the opening scene to start, but how do you [I]play[/I]? Can you play against the computer? Or do you have to have an online opponent?

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Once you fire it up it's just like the old console version.

Except you can play the computer or go online with an opponent.

Ok, but how do you 'fire it up' ? I have a Logitech game controller, but I can't get the game to start. All I can get is the opening scene to run over and over again.

At the top of the nesticle screen, go to settings, and then redefine input. Select device 1.

You should see a list of devices you can set to be the input for nesticle. Click on gamepad. Then press the buttons on your gamepad, if the screen blinks with it, then you're all set. If pressing the buttons does nothing, click on Joystick 1 or whatever and try again.

By the way, change of AIM name for me. Please use:

what if I want to use my keyboard (you know, until I get a controller)? I tried that whole setting thing but to no avail

Re: Tecmo league/tournament
 

Isn't there a way to attach your 360 controller to your computer? Does anyone know how to do this?

Also, do these emulators work on a mac?

You can use the keyboard but I wouldn't recommend it.

I just picked up a logitech USB controller this weekend for $9.99

You should be able to connect the 360 controller to your computer. You just need an available USB port and the correct driver. I successfully connected my regular Xbox controller to my computer before. I just had to buy a USB adapter for the controller and search for the right driver. Since the 360 controller is already USB, then you should be halfway there.

Cool, thanks. Now I just need to brush up, re-familiarize myself with the game.

Then Warren Moon, Heyward Jeffries and Earnest Givins will be lighting it up!
