TECMO STADIUM — Bo Jackson already owns the title of the only professional athlete in history to be named an All-Star in two major North American sports.

But YouTube user numb3rtw3nty added yet another highlight to the legend of "Bo Knows" using the 1991 NES video game "Tecmo Super Bowl."

In the clip, the Raiders running back takes an entire quarter of the game clock to zig, zag and loop his way to a 99-yard touchdown drive on a single run play. Most NFL teams would be proud of an offensive drive getting close to a whole quarter of game time, but Jackson did it on a single play.

Jackson even turns around and goes all the way back to his own end zone midway through the video before making one final 100-plus-yard run to score and go up 6-0.

The old-school run from Jackson sits in the Hall of Fame of greatest football video game moments, right alongside the 99-yard touchdown pass to an injured Greg Jennings in Madden NFL 10.
