In my discovery that Tecmo is not dead, I actually found it to be alive and flourishing!

You can play the original game online, for free! There are leagues, internet rankings etc!

It's real easy!

Much better than playing 30 games just to be able to finish one isn't it?

yes, the new DS version was growing old indeed...

We have been playing the 91 version for 2 years in organized events. I love the new tecmo as a game, but it falls short with how the online stuff is handled making if get a bit old.
