"That's okay, our opinions can be different, we can still be friends" The world needs more of that.

Madden 92 was the one for me. The ambulance running over the players was hilarious.

NINE!!? Good lord. That's a lot of Madden!!

Thurman Thomas was unstoppable with the spin move in’92

92 for me. Also love the ambulance coming on. I was obsessed with this as a kid

As a long time collector who is also a dedicated avid sports gamer, it's great to see videos like this acknowledging how retro sports games hold such a huge place in gaming history. I have a dedicated area in my gameroom for retro sports games, as they hold many great memories for me. KZfaq needs more videos like this.

95 Madden is the best! Still playing it! Bill Walsh football is good too

Only a few people really compare these games year-by-year, and I appreciate something more in-depth for those wanting to buy a copy. I'd like to see more of these for EA sports games like NHL or NBA!

John Madden was a legend. He will be very sorely missed :(. I am paying tribute to him by playing through a bunch of the old Genesis and Madden games I own.

I recently got a mint copy of Madden '92 CIB at a local pawn shop. They were asking $5 for it. When I went up to the bulletproof window to checkout, the manager was busy on the phone. He motioned to me "whatcha got?" I held up the game and he said "just take it, don't worry about it". SWEET! Can't wait to play it when my childhood best friend moves up to my same town in a month!

I played Madden 96 endlessly back in the day. The speed is a bit over the top, but still fun to play overall. And you can actually read the jersey numbers on the players. Never understood why they took that feature away in subsequent years.

92 for me! 9 years old and got it for Christmas the year it came out… was so excited to play it for the first time

Enjoyin' the Madden love

I loved the 1st 3 madden on genesis 92 and 93 probably my favorite remember getting them played them so much thinking about getting madden 20 year anniversary so I can play madden 93 again

92 is my favorite Madden since my older brother had it and it brings back strong memories. It taught me the general rules well too. My all the favorite football game were the NFL2K games on Dreamcast and PS2. I think they are still better than the contemporary Madden games as they didn't veer too far in sim and had the arcade flair IMO! As a Bucs fan they added the pirate shop from Raymond James way before Madden too.

Love old school madden. Bill Walsh collage football was very similar but also very fun.

Love the channel! I love your super nintendo videos! Much love from maine! Congrats on almost at 100k!

Great stuff John, the first Madden game I remember playing was ‘94 for the genesis.

RIP JOHN MADDEN

So close to 100k subs! Congrats! Great video!

93 madden is my favorite. Mostly because that my first football ball for genesis and brings back good memories

Madden 92 for Genesis was my first...94 holds a special place in my heart cuz of all the all time teams...and i played the heck out of 95....i have a brother who is deceased now that i played with that so for those reasons i still hold that one close...96 was fun but yeah fast...and by 97 i was on PlayStation. Great video, brought back some memories! Btw anyone ever tell you, you resemble Rick Steiner lol

It’s Football, My favorite Madden is Madden 18 because of the campaign. Also early Congrats on 100K Subs. Been a huge fan since I saw almost every of your complete set videos especially Super Nintendo. Keep on Collecting John Hancock.

I’d like to have a complete Madden collection on the Genesis. Even if I’m just mildly interested in them. Also the camera quality of your videos has gotten real good. Excellent job as always.

Almost 100k subs!!! When i subscribed there where less than 1000. Now everyone know your videos are awesome!!!

I've overlooked 92 and 93 before, thanks for your insight on these I'll be sure to pick them up! They sound like a blast. I've been mainly playing 95 and 97. Could you do a ranking of NBA Live games? Curious to hear your breakdown.

RIP John Madden 🙏🏻

Fantasic video! Huge sports game fan, and Madden and the NHL series are what started it all for me on the Genesis. LOVE Madden 91, but Madden 90 was my first.

Yes! Lets talk Madden. The first Madden blew my mind. The first Madden experience for me really started in Madden 94. Lots and lots of memories. Then after 94, my next Madden was 97 on the PlayStation. I only played a few games there. In 94 I had played several seasons with Giants, Steelers and Raiders. Then came 98, where I started to create athletes. I even played with Cardinals for two seasons. My first team there was Pittsburgh. Started the season 0-3, but finished at 12-4. Then Madden 99, then on to PS2 Madden 2001 where I took my Raiders into a double decade of dominance. 23 Super Bowls back to back covering Madden 2001 for six seasons, Madden 2003 for six seasons, then Madden 2004 for 9 seasons nonstop. Think I'll have to make a video about that lol. I haven't played much Madden lately, but as of now, I'm using Madden 15 and I'm slowly creating athletes from the 90s, 80s, and beyond. I'm calling it Madden Legends. Yes I'm using players real numbers and physical attributes and giving them player ratings of 99. I made Dan Mario with the Mark brothers, Mark "Super" Duper and Mark Clayton along with MLB Zack Thomas. For the Chiefs I made Christian Okoye, and man it looks just like him. The reason I'm doing this is because Madden is just too easy for me, and at the All-Madden level. So I'm creating all these Legends to give me a good challenge. I just love football

Definitely more maddens on Genesis than I remember. Great ranking video John!

Good video and nice ranking of all the Madden games! I never though there was that many(9).

id like to see the tecmo bowls ranked

Thanks for the information. Excellent video

We Love Retro Sports Game Reviews. Good Content.

This is great research, thanks so much! Do you have videos on other Genesis sports games like this? (I couldn't find them, sorry if I missed them) Also, any chance you'll do this with the SNES versions? : )

I like this style of videos very helpful for me as I want to play these games with my Analogue systems. Thank you for posting :)

Looking fresh in your football gear😁👍🏻also a late congrats on the new 4k tv

Those are, in my opinion the best Madden football games there ever were. I had so much fun playing those with friends. Can you do the basketball games on the Genesis. The one I remember the most was Bulls vs Blazers.

Thumbs up alone just for the awesome Eagles jersey and hat! Great video John!

I recall playing one of the early 90s or late 80s games, and discovering the instant replay feature. Very impressive at the time. Btw, nice jersey!

Great ranking. I would love to see a similar ranking of Joe Montana football games on the Genesis.

Madden '93 was definitely my favorite.

fun fact about Madden '95 he forgot to mention, at the start window, if you pressed BACAC , you could add the then-expansion Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars (this *ONLY* worked in Exhibition mode)

I've played all of them at some point but 93 is my favorite to this year. I like hearing John Madden throw in his little comments. It's essentially the original game with all teams voice and the ambulance. Best one for me is 93 Loving these rankings videos thanks John

Personally, I would rank the original John Madden an A, but without a doubt, we both agree that '92 was the best version of Madden. I rented '93 and '94, but was just never convinced that they were as good as those earlier versions. It was shortly thereafter that I handed down my original Genesis to my brother, but for some reason, I held on to those two games (along with Lakers vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs). I decided to rebuild my Genesis collection with all the games I owned (and about 100 more!) about 6 years ago, but I am sooo glad that I still have my original Maddens!

You should've done the two Bill Walsh College Football games as well as they use the same engine as the Madden ones. A lot of people seems to think Bill Walsh '95 is the best football game on the Genesis.

‘97 is my favorite. I’m actually waiting for my Sega to come in the mail now so I can get back into it.

Madden 93! Love 85 Bears and 82 Redskins!

Madden 93 was and is the best lol yes. Also I loved the way the screen did when there was an interception or fumble

Great video thanks. I hope your next video you can announce 100k subscribers. Doubt the doubters and we will see you in your museum.

Great video!!!!

Thanks bro for the video,i just decided to buy Madden 93 on Ebey,i trust your judgement

I wish it had 2 point conversions but 94 is my favorite. Seeing that box takes me back to being a kid.

For old school Madden 94 felt the best to me… Liked the pace of the game, the awesome parade when you won the Super Bowl …

Excellent idea for a video. I would emphasize that Madden 93 (maybe 94?) is the last year without the official team names (no NFL license). Some might care about that... not a big deal for me though. My personal favorite team is the 85 Bears, and they are represented in the game (players by number and not by name of course). Madden 93 is definitely worth the purchase if you’re out game hunting and you see it for $5-10. Fun to pop in and play sometimes, even today. Happy gaming my friends!

@John Hancock I Got Madden 93 For My Mini Sega For Christmas and It Still Holds Up Today!

I love the Philadelphia Eagles gear man!

Such a great franchise. Still playing. Just bought 93.

In Madden '95...at the home screen/team selection...hit BACAC and you get the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Been following you for years and the fact you are an eagles fan is amazing! #gobirds

I liked the one's he liked least, Madden 94 and Madden 95. However, ironically the best football game on the Sega Genesis in my opinion is Bill Walsh 95 since it takes everything that was good in Madden 94 (graphics) and Madden 95(windowless passing and 2 point conversions) combined into one excellent game with lots of atmosphere.

I'm pretty sure there are hardcore fans of modern NFL games, and even though i'm a casual american football fan I will say that I enjoy most games from NES - PS2. Same thing goes for basketball games, but I feel I had the most enjoyment of sports games in the Sega Genesis/PS2 era. Madden/NFL games were king on the Sega Genesis. My first football game was NFL football 94, had a blast with it.

This lineup from best to worst was spot on, I couldnt agree more!

I'm still found of the OG Madden and have a CIB version after that I would go with Madden 93. It's a tragedy what EA and the current Madden franchise is currently. The last good NFL licensed game is ESPN NFL 2K5 on the OG XBOX.

Great video and I agree wholeheartedly on all points made! Go Jags! Love from the UK John

My favorite version of the Sega genesis madden games was a variation of madden '93. Called "mutant league football", that was a favorite of my middle school friends and me.

Lol the ambulance just mowing players down

10/10 thumbnail lol.

Nice! Cool thumbnail!

America. The only country where they can call a game football in which they primarily use their hands! Being a British person, football means something different to me. I never understood the rules to American Football. it seemed way to overly complicated compared to Rugby (The game it was based on, apparently. (Don't shoot me I am only the piano player.)). Though, there were never any good Rugby games on any console or PC. Well, none that I have found, anyway. Thanks again John!

Your videos are awesome just like you 💪💪💪

*Subbed!* Go Birds! Although...this season was a nightmare. And I'm not the most optimistic going forward...😩

John Madden played in little Giants John Madden will always be my favorite football coach I will never dishonor John Madden

Haha reviews for the football Sunday!

Madden 92 is S+++ for me, it's one of my favorite sports games. Even beat all madden with every team in the game, and some teams it's kinda hard. Still play it all the time

Never knew u were a fellow Birds fan...nice Philly4Life

RIP John Madden.

I remember it being in a clamshell here in Canada. At least every copy I've seen in my city

There’s a cheat code in madden 96 that lets you pick teams from the World League… those London Monarchs memories

I have/had the '93 Championship edition.... and it wasn't cheap, but definitely worth it.

I got John Madden Football as a Christmas gift in 94, when I was a brand new football fan. I still like the way it plays, except when the A.I. doesn't put up a good fight at the end-the CPU may need a touchdown with the final seconds ticking away, and choose run on 4th down at midfield. I love when it cuts to show you other playoff games during halftime. I love the overly intense intro music. The ending is a bummer; just an image of the trophy and then back to the title screen. Back then in the 90s, I eventually preferred NFL Quarterback Club, but now if I want to play football on Genesis, it's not for a sim game--I go to 2k5 for that-my Genesis footballing is JMF original or 92, or Bill Walsh 95.

When is John Hancock Football Immortal Edition coming out?

When you said EA kept adding more features to Madden, I had to do a double take...that hasn't been said for EA and Madden for over 15 years.

'Boom, he's on his back'

Madden '93 is my jam. No one can beat me with the Bills.

Intro had me laughing 😂 can’t wait to watch the rest of the video. Go EAGLES 🦅!

Loved 93. Still own it. 94 was great as well I think 94 was the first to let you play a season but i may be wrong

Yes! Genesis sports games are the best and I love when reviewers don't dismiss them! Thanks for this please do more!

E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!! Hello from Philly!!!!! You Are Welcome Here Anytime, We'd love to have you here and grace us with your IMMORTALITY!!!!!

I really had fun with the sega Genesis Madden games, still play them today. I have newer Madden games for newer systems but they tend to have too many weird bugs and glitches, so I go back to playing the Sega versions 😂

It's interesting to see how different all the Genesis Maddens were when the ones their pumping out today are literally the same game every year lol

The Only Madden Games I Like Are Madden 93 and Madden 94 Dispite Some of The Tight Gameplay in Madden 94 At Times While Madden 95 is Ok Despite Seeing The Ball Getting Tipped by Players on Pass Plays!

I think they're all good in their own way but I think the PS2 Maddens are way better. I would like to see you rank all the PS2 Maddens.

That was on point...

Madden 92 was the only one I had for the genesis so it's nostalgic for me playing it on a 20inch CRT TV

I still have my original madden 92 sega game from when I was a kid because no one wanted to buy it from me when I sold everything else LOL

GREAT COMMENTARY...

I love the 92 93 editions because of play sound effects and commentary.

Is that a Rodney Peete jersey? Man, as a Lions Fan it brings back memories of the 95 playoff loss...
