hmm, Bo knows! I think that Bo was a little more impressive cause he was never touched.

Or you could look at it the other way and think Okoye was more impressive cause of how often he was touched without going down.

Id go Okoye as his seemed less risky. Bo was taking one heck of a chance going from 1 to the 1 back to the other 1. Plus Okoye has to be handing out some concussions.

Super Tecmo Bowl was THE game back when I was in middle school. My best friend and I would play way into the morning. We were both huge Chicago Bear fans, but he always chose the Raiders and I always took the Chiefs. Our AFC West battles were epic.

Bo had the speed and that was certainly alluring, but I liked just running over the competition with Okoye. By the by, if I remember correctly, the other option in the Chiefs' backfield was Barry Word, and I could pitch the ball to him if I felt the need for speed.

Good times!

Still the greatest football game ever made.

I remember the 1st Tecmo Bowl. I believe with Bo I had like 2 90+ yard TD runs in the same game (back to back I think). My favorite runner in that first one was Kevin Mack of the Browns. With him everytime someone tried to tackle him they'd almost always immediately go airborne.

Middle school?!?! Man, I was in college when it came out. I'm old.

We use to have schedules...you either showed up and played at your time, or you forfeited. We didn't care if you had class or were studying or what.
