Considering that Seattle Seahawks fans are still on a high after watching Marshawn Lynch’s epic run at the end of this weekend’s playoff game against the New Orleans Saints, this post comes at the right time. By now, plenty of people have seen the numerous YouTube clips of Lynch’s electrifying 67 yard run in which he throws arguably one of the best stiff arms in NFL playoff history. The numerous uploaded clips on YouTube are nearing the 1 million viewer mark if they haven’t surpassed them already in just three days and that says as much about “The Run” as it does on how quickly sports fans take ownership of plays that they love and share them with the online community.
Here are two videos I watched today that particularly standout because they infuse sounds from older 1980s video games such as Tecmo Bowl and Super Mario Bros.
And here’s Marshawn Lynch in “star” mode from the video game, Super Mario Bros.

Great run, great, timely post!
There’s a video on YouTube that mashes Tecmo Bowl footage with Steve Raible’s call from Sunday’s game to recreate the BeastQuake. Pretty impressive use of technology:
Derek, I think it’s awesome that Tecmo Bowl is making a comeback right now via all of these YouTube videos.
Thanks for letting us know about the one you saw as well.
