A Video Game Thesaurus for Charm

Fanfare account of progression of football video-games casting image for city-teams synthetics hyperbole for a 'tourist' jolly (Chicago/NY).

An homage to what's become the social/cyber phenomenon of Madden, which was preceded (certainly!) by Tecmo. Thanks for reading (Happy '25), 

DISCLAIMER: This work of video-game fanfiction contains images/references with no ties to any representative person(s)/body (e.g., Chicago Bears) and is cast as purely a 'personal' expression for social art (for 'open' views/translations).

I was making a special long development line of culture significance for the casting of football video-games iconography (Madden-NFL) for an NFC rivalry between two iconic American cities/landscapes (New York, Chicago) and thought-back (richly now!) on my youth-days fascination with the glory that was Tecmo football-games (video-games!), which preceded the laurels of the now-titan Madden franchise (Facebook-like!).

READER: You claim these Bears-Giants games makes for New York state image.

MR. AMLAN SATAN (Me): Well, I know many of my online opponents go NY!

READER: You're a Windy-City lore-caster for Madden stuff, eh?
MR. AMLAN SATAN (Me): Goes back to my youth-days of Bears stuff on Tecmo.

READER: Maybe Tecmo was in deeds the best predecessor to Madden (ok).

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Well, New York and Chicago jardinieres is prime numbers.

READER: I'll take the Giants any-day, pal.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Many agree with you...but Windy-City's cyber-jellyfish.

READER: What?

Well, I recount how I made Tecmo a lasting memory for Giants-Bears rivalry theater, and I remember using special Bears players to make cool field play showcase against iconic Giants folks, making fun pairings of football arts (e.g., McMahon, Bavaro). By the way, Bavaro ended his career in the City of Brotherly Love. Wow, Tecmo really was the precursor to Madden, friends (ok).

WIFE: It's a snow-day, so you need not trek to Grad-School stuff, so?

ME: Let's play Tecmo and Madden and compare Bears-Giants rivalry now.

WIFE: That sounds like a hubby-wife bonding activity for symbolism (sure).

ME: Trust me...you'll have newfound appreciation of Chicago-NY tourism (ha).

WIFE: I'll be New York.

ME: Of course...Chicago's jagged-edge.

WIFE: Facebook-like.
