another genesis video.... this is the third madden game to come out i think... this is pretty much just showin you a drive on offense and defense... not tryin to show skill obviously haha... good game
Clothesline tackle was the best. All the years I've played this game I've only returned by three or four kickoffs but returned punts on a regular basis
Man, I think I remember... wasn't this game packaged with Madden 2002 on the Playstation? And man, I always loved that opening title song... so, so addicting...
This is the first football video game that I ever played. No season mode, no free agency, no franchise mode. All we had were some classical teams, a small random playoff format, and a few buttons. However, it was still lots of fun and the best thing was that the non-technical nature of the game allowed me to play it with my dad, who knew nothing about video games.
Yeah this was the third Madden game on the Genesis and the last one to be named "John Madden Football"... Without the NFL license back then, they had to use city names without team names, so to differentiate the Giants from the Jets, the Jets were named New Jersey. Great game!
im not sure about 2002... i heard you can play it on the madden 09 collectors edition game though.. even though i've never seen a video of it.. and yeah i agree haha... the old madden themes are so catchy
BOOM he's on his back EPIC Sound clips in this game; so many memories Question: Did anyone figure out the CHEAT to block punts and field goals 4-3 - Cover - Man Zone 1 Call that play on punt/FG/XP and I SWEAR you could block it 50%+ of the time; you would blow right thru the O line!!! Try it if you have the game?? It was the first video game glitch I ever found. Please, someone, tell me you found this too??? I swear it's real but it's been 25+ years lol
I don't remember the 4-3 Cover glitch. I would just crowd the line of scrimmage and get as close to the center as possible. About 20% of the time you would break right through for a FG/punt block. There was another ridiculous things you could do. I don't remember if it was Madden 93 or 94, but if you ran the ball with Pittsburgh RB, you can literally keep mashing "B" to spin and you could spin all the way down the field and all the tacklers would bounce off you. Worked enough to run the ball every play.
yeah, since they couldnt call them the jets, they probably put them as new jersey so people wouldnt mix them up with the giants or something... although they play in new jersey so it kinda makes sense
@gear377 exactly haha... i just found out today that you can't put custom players on custom teams in madden anymore... not a huge deal but you could do it 5 years ago
Hey, can you upload a video where somebody makes atouchdown in this game? I haven't heard the music for a thouchdown in this game or seen one of the players dance in almost fifteen years and I'd love to see and hear it again.
I loved that as a kid. Made no sense. Like whole game is serious and meant to be this real football simulation. The somebody gets hurt, and the ambulance plows through the players like a 85 year old lady driving through the side of the pharmacy.
back when Madden was about playing football, not XP rubbish turning it into a RPG, notice how 1993 had highlights at the end of a game during playoffs??? EA can't even do that since now they just recyle features every 4 years, the irony of that dallas cowboys philly game is cowboys smashed them in the 92 playoffs when this game come out and the game hate the eagles rated better then them on all defence lol
@psuzeppelin5 Yeah, newsflash: you can't do ANYTHING anymore. No creating plays, no creating playbooks, no creating coaches, the listg oes on and on. Fucking bullshit.
"Hey, he'll remember that number!"
Brings me back...
"Boom! He's on his back!"
To this day, this is the best Madden game. It doesn't have to be 100% realistic to be good, just fun.
My favorite line was "Where'd that truck come from?"
This was the first Madden game I ever had back then and we loved this game. Especially my older brother. Good memories :)
Clothesline tackle was the best. All the years I've played this game I've only returned by three or four kickoffs but returned punts on a regular basis
This game kicks ass! Buffalo was so hard to beat!
i remember the theme song from this to this day. so epic.
How could a 20 year old game be so superior to the 2013 Madden game?
This is one of the best Madden games ever. The new ones ain't got shit on this.
Man, I think I remember... wasn't this game packaged with Madden 2002 on the Playstation? And man, I always loved that opening title song... so, so addicting...
my fav madden here

RIP John Madden
my god classic madden football when it was fun!!!
Yeah this was the third Madden game on the Genesis and the last one to be named "John Madden Football"...

Great game!
that pretty much sums it up... and agreed
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, this theme song haunts me lol
im not sure about 2002... i heard you can play it on the madden 09 collectors edition game though.. even though i've never seen a video of it.. and yeah i agree haha... the old madden themes are so catchy

Question: Did anyone figure out the CHEAT to block punts and field goals
4-3 - Cover - Man Zone 1
Call that play on punt/FG/XP and I SWEAR you could block it 50%+ of the time; you would blow right thru the O line!!! Try it if you have the game??

this was when videogames were very simple...compared to these games that are complacated now of days.
@roboshuffle Yeah man, I remember playing this at my cousin's house when I was little... how time has flown by
@psuzeppelin5
thanks, dude!
haha yeah man... i love his little sayings in this game
@bwashinski exactly... realistic just means way more complicated
yeah, since they couldnt call them the jets, they probably put them as new jersey so people wouldnt mix them up with the giants or something... although they play in new jersey so it kinda makes sense
Eagle QB intercepted in the endzone? Seems about right.
@Meckrocz3451 nice man... I won it with Philly... it was really fun... just as fun if not better than the new ones
hb toss with washington was money
@gear377 exactly haha... i just found out today that you can't put custom players on custom teams in madden anymore... not a huge deal but you could do it 5 years ago
Spice 1 sent me
@bwashinski Actually this game had as much realism and depth as many future Maddens.
@psuzeppelin5 yeah haha so true
Hey, can you upload a video where somebody makes atouchdown in this game? I haven't heard the music for a thouchdown in this game or seen one of the players dance in almost fifteen years and I'd love to see and hear it again.
@dboz29 not sure... they probably didnt use the nfl names because of the copyrighted ones.... like the 49ers for example... just my guess
I miss this game (sniff). THIS WAS THE LAST TIME THE REDSKINS WERE GOOD (SNIFF) (SNOT BUBBLE) LOL
haha, i think it's because Philly only plays certain teams in the first round.
@GuyPatrowski I have to clue why they would do that, that was half the fun of Madden, creating ridiculous teams with your friends was fun stuff
NY Jets
@agollaglee haha, try a lot of short, safe passes... that seems to work best for me. It's still tough though haha
for me it was the ambulance that would come in randomly and run over the players and Maddens commentating
great stuff lol
I loved that as a kid. Made no sense. Like whole game is serious and meant to be this real football simulation. The somebody gets hurt, and the ambulance plows through the players like a 85 year old lady driving through the side of the pharmacy.

@kiren77 gotcha haha
I still play this on my sega mega drive today haha and I still cannot win! It doesn't help that I am not familiar with american football
@Thepragmatic123 oh you mean like people would just rename the players "Jim Brown" or whoever it was?
@Armageddon2077 I was hopin to throw one at then end there... but I'll try to this weekend... I'll send you a message if I do
@kiren77 i think they just changed the banners to the actual NFL teams right?
LOL pass int was actually called never gets called on madden now
what team was New Jersey ????
ahh that sucks... but yeah its still an awesome game
new jersey???? jets?
either that or they think Atlanta isn't worthy lol.........I think thats the year they started losing though
haha.. yeah Atlanta wasn't all that great in the early 90s
I wonder why they took out Atlanta when you selected playoffs? lol
@youtubin222 Skins... meh haha
@psuzeppelin5 I liked makin' my dad the coach :3
funny how the ps3 version is not that different
@psuzeppelin5 Yeah, newsflash: you can't do ANYTHING anymore. No creating plays, no creating playbooks, no creating coaches, the listg oes on and on. Fucking bullshit.
@psuzeppelin5 i can
old game people
