Haha - having your name at the top of those was amazing.
Before the video games started keeping stats, I used to go in my basement, rev up Tecmo bowl, grab a pencil and paper, and put all my guys on... then after every play, I'd write down the stats. 7 yard carry, 14 yard carry, 12 yard completion, etc. At the end of the game, I's manually have every one's stats and I'd keep adding them up as if I was playing a season.
Then, the real games started coming out, and seasons, and I was lost.
EA College Football was the best - I spent too many hours playing Danny Wuerfel florida seasons - then going with Some Druckenmiller and Oxendine VTech seasons to challenge myself more and run the ball.
