Sports Video Games Hall of Fame Inductee: Madden NFL Football

[RaychelSnr]

The final inductee to be recognized as a sports video games hall of famer in the summer of 08 class is the Madden NFL Football series, which has spanned over two decades. Be sure to check out the induction article for the Madden NFL Football series.

Quote:

"Madden, on the other hand, is really being recognized for its position in the sports gaming industry for the past 20 years. In a lot of ways the title is the bellwether for the industry as a whole, and any Hall of Fame class would be incomplete in my mind without the longest running and best selling sports franchise ever."

I date back to the original, "John Madden Football" version, and have played pretty much every iteration thereof. Madden is arguably the single most important video game ever created. It deserves its place in the HOF.
