Item Description

Squeezing an NFL Sunday onto a screen smaller than a playing card is a tall order, and that challenge is exactly what makes Madden NFL 2000 on the Game Boy Color such an interesting piece of football history. In 1999 EA Sports' flagship series was at the height of its powers on the PlayStation and Nintendo 64, and this handheld edition, co-developed by EA Tiburon and the British studio Tiertex Design Studios and published by THQ, set out to boil all of that down to a D-pad, two buttons and a palette of a few dozen colors.

What survives the trip is the heart of the Madden formula: licensed NFL teams and the rhythm of picking a play, lining up and finding out whether you outguessed the other side of the ball. Games move quickly, the action stays readable on the small screen, and it is the kind of football you can fit into a car ride or a lunch break. Reviewers at the time pointed out how hard it is to fit a hundred-yard field onto a handheld, and much of the fun comes from seeing how much of the real thing the designers managed to keep.

It is also a snapshot of a specific moment. Madden NFL 2000 belongs to the league heading into the 1999 season, the year the Cleveland Browns returned to the NFL and the last season of the 1990s, when Madden was turning from a popular football game into a cultural fixture. For fans who collect the series year by year, the handheld editions are the easiest entries to overlook and some of the most satisfying to track down, a pocket-sized branch of a franchise whose Nintendo handheld history stretches back to the original Game Boy.
