Item Description

Every Madden on a Nintendo console traces back to this cartridge. Electronic Arts brought John Madden Football to the Super Nintendo in 1991, a couple of years before the EA Sports label and the official NFL license arrived, so the teams here go by their home cities rather than their nicknames.

The play is built on the ideas that made the series famous. You call a formation and a play before every snap from a playbook shaped by Madden's coaching approach, then try to make it work in real time from a view behind the offense that lets you read the field as the play develops. Two players can square off, and the rhythm of picking a play, guessing what the other side has called and living with the result is what made these games so addictive on the couch.

It is a game of its moment, and that is the appeal. Football games in 1991 were still working out how to put the sport on a controller, and Madden's insistence on real strategy over pure arcade flash set the direction for the yearly sequels that followed on the Super Nintendo. This is where that run begins, a quick, readable game of football with a coach's name on the box who cared about getting the X's and O's right.
