Superbowl Sunday

Pyongyang · 03-02-2012 11:45AM #1

With the Superbowl fast approaching (GO GIANTS!), I've been rummaging through my favourite gridiron games to get me in the mood for a bit of Red 42, 68, 97, divided by 4 carry the one to the square root of 57! HUP HUP! on Sunday.

You can keep your Madden games. My favourite American football game is:

Many fond memories of this awesome game. It's still hugely playable even today.

American football? God no.

I guess living over that side of the pond for so long I really got in to it. If you watch it regularly it becomes more enjoyable once you understand the rules a bit more. At least that's how I see it anyway.

4th & Inches is a legendary game. It still plays really well considering it's age and hoe basic it is.

Apparently, Johnny Ultimate is a massive fan of American Football

It's better than cricket!

I've followed American football off and on since the mid-80's. Picked teams out of a hat at school to see who our favourite teams would be. I picked the New York Giants so I've followed them ever since really.

Yeah it seems massive in the states...but then again, like Bulgarians, they have very simple tastes

You used to be able to buy the team helmets back when I was a kid. Not sure if they came with chewing gum or what but they were pretty cool looking. I'd watch a few minutes of the super bowl these days but wouldn't bother with normal matches.

Stocking up on Beer and supplies today

Roll on sunday and come on the Patriots

Yeah, American sports, terrible simplistic stat fests one and all.
Then again I have little love for any sports at all....

I played a bit of Mutant League Football back in college!

Was obsessed with NFL Quarterback Club '98 on the N64. I love sports in general and had a great time going to Baseball/Hockey/Basketball games when living in Boston...didn't get to a Patriots game unfortunately!

I'm astounded. The NTSC-J brigade are out showing love for US sports :eek::D

Earlier today in a meeting at work, the clock on the wall started going really fast, then stopped, went backwards and then normal again.

Many eyebrows raised.

I was obviously transported to some kind of Bizarro World.

I've a few mates over to watch it on Sunday , wouldn't be massively pushed but staying up and drinking loads of beers never needs an excuse.
May dig up the maddens games as well before hand.
I wouldn't mind seeing the patriots win , as I've a few mates who live in that neck of the woods and I've been there a few times.

That is ominous, I just watched Prime this morning!!
And I understood a good 80% of it!
