John Madden Football (Genesis) Review

Travel back with us to the one-yard line where it all started as
we revisit the first Madden game on home consoles with John
Madden Football on the Sega Genesis!


Originally joked about by being called "Trip's Folly" (named
after Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins), it was a game which
was deceptive in its intricacies, and the first fully functioning
football video game to incorporate 11 players per team.





But just because it's the first doesn't necessarily mean it's the
best. We take to the field to find out if this pig skin pioneer
is still worth playing against the likes of games like Madden 23.





Plus, we talk about the state of the modern Madden franchise,
talk Overwatch loot boxes, and explore the history of how Madden
almost didn't get made.
