"Really what we're trying to do is provide a really good time for people to connect with their childhood favorite game and have that camaraderie with Tecmo Super Bowl like we used to have,” said Nathan Smithson.

70 people were registered on Saturday. It also the world's largest qualifying tournament for the Tecmo Super Bowl.
