If you're not familiar with Knobbe.org, it's the self-described "largest Tecmo Super Bowl community" on the Internet. Among other things, they essentially re-program the classic 1991 Nintendo game so that it includes new rosters. In other words, yes -- you get to see players like Peyton Manning and Reggie Bush in 8-bit glory. Best of all, they let you download everything you need to play it on your computer, for free.

You can watch the full version here. Remarkably, the Saints win, 34-31, which is the exact score I'm predicting. If this score is right, I'm throwing Madden 10 in the garbage and playing Tecmo Super Bowl for the rest of my days.
