 The Original John Madden Football Gameplay VideoSome of us old gamers grew up on John Madden Football, from the very first release on the Apple II in 1988. For those that are curious, this is what the game looked like. Just think what football games will look like in 25 more years.

 This is why i never complain about graphics. I've been gaming for 40 years and can remember playing the original Madden, plus all the Atari sports games before that, where there were 3 players on each team and they all moved in unison.
 
 Gaming today is amazing and just taking a look back at videos like this should bring an appreciation for where things are today.Comment

 @Turbo. I support your opinion 100%. I grew up with Atari, Intellivision, etc so gamers who have seen more of the evolution in graphics, I believe, appreciate what we have today and less willing to scrutinize every little detail.
 
 I bought a Genesis from JJ Games along with Madden 93, NHL, NHL 94, Coach K, NBA Live 95. The games are still fun but provide appreciation as to where sports games are now.What?Comment

 Re: The Original John Madden Football Gameplay Video
 
 My 1st Madden was '92. I couldn't agree more with you guys. I remember when there were no message boards and people didn't complain about EVERYTHING 
 
 Back then all you needed was a gaming system, Madden, some friends, and some snacks and it's an all nighter baby.
 
 I get a kick out of watching my nephews play the game all night now. It brings me back.
 
 
 Great Thread!Rather than complain about life, take responsibility and do something about it..Comment

 Pepperidge Farm remembers.
 
 
 I recently bought a modernized Sega Genesis from Groupon, and a handful of my old cartridges still work! John Madden 92-98, Joe Montana 92-93, Primetime, MLBPA Sports Talk, NHL 94, NBA Jam.
 
 I've already decided that when I have a son, that's what will get hooked into the TV in his room, so he can appreciate where dad's games came from. Of course, he can also join me on the PS5 in the living room Moose Moose

 Ah man! Joe Montana Football? Wow you brought it way back!
 
 Funny how back then there seemed to be 3 or 4 different titles. Of course Madden was ALWAYS the standard but I remember playing Madden AND Game Day (PS1), man gaming used to be so less complicated haha!
 
 but that's life in general I guess hahaRather than complain about life, take responsibility and do something about it..Comment

 Seen footage of this before but never played it, although I was around for the beginning of videogames. My first go round with Madden was the first console version of Madden for the Genesis as a kid was jolting to say the least. ChrIstmas Day at my cousin's house and we couldn't stop playing it. Boy did I envy him and my parents wouldn't let me spend the night so I had to depressingly return home to crappy Super Play Action Football on SNES which I had begged for leading up to that day and got that day.A fine example of careful what u wish for. Lol.Just cuz you pour syrup on ish....Comment

 Re: The Original John Madden Football Gameplay Video
 
 Haha, it really was though!
 
 We used to play until the Sega got hot and then we would blow on the game cartridge to cool it down. By the way did that even do anything?! HAHAHA
 
 You guys remember how the old Maddens had the All Madden Teams? Or the feild that was all dirt (cheat code on Madden 98 i think)?
 
 Everbody used to pick the Cowboys or the Bills ONLY (early to mid 90s Maddens)
 
 Man that video and this thread really brought me back!Rather than complain about life, take responsibility and do something about it..Comment
