There was thread on this thing a while ago- I think there's only 1 registered VAPS entry.

I played this all the time BITD in the arcade. We freakin' loved it.

EDIT: 4 VAPS entries.

you should get one to sit next to your Ninja Warriors & 6-Player X-Men cabinets
 
I saw one in the wild BIID, circa 1987 or 88, but didn't get to play `cause it was like a dollar for one initial credit!
 
You can play it in MAME. It's possible to get out of tackles by moving the joystick quickly back and forth.

It plays like you'd expect: very Tecmo Bowlish, right down to certain patterns that guarantee you're going to get a reception and/or touchdown. ;) Doesn't have the play selection home Tecmo fans are used to, though...
 
although this is a big cabinet, it is smaller than a xmen 6 player.
This has quite the following. I have had several of them and they always sell good for me on ebay. When you see them at auctions, they always go low. Ive never payed more than 200 for one. Yet i have never sold one for under 500. Even had two sell for a grand each on the bay.

I saw this and thought the same thing. I don't remember seeing this one in the wild. Makes X-Men 6 player look like a cabaret.
 
Yeah, definitely a sweet cab but, for those that played the console ports, the original game is mediocre IMO.

Though, it's a completely different game. It's like trying to compare the arcade version of Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden with the NES ports. Again, completely different games.

But I'm sure it would be a fun game to have in the game room especially during football season for game day/Super Bowl parties. :)

Your eyes are playing tricks on you. The Xmen cab is bigger. I had a chance to pick up a shelled out Tecmo bowl cab for free, but it wasn't worth it.
