Something that
should be corrected...
Technos, and not
Tecmo, made this game. As far as the
Famicom/
NES version goes, it was part of the
Kunio series in
Japan along with
Riki Kunio and
River City Ransom. More specifically, the
sports sub-series along with the
Crash and the Boys games that came at the end of the NES'
life cycle. At the time this was made
Tecmo was too into setting up their
Ninja Gaiden/
Tecmo Bowl empire.
Still a damn fun game though...just like all the Kunio games.
