John Madden Football '93
John Madden Football '93 is a 1992 American football video game developed and published by Electronic Arts for the Super NES and Sega Genesis. The player controls a football team in modes such as tournament play and sudden death. Officially endorsed by John Madden, it was the third Madden game for the Genesis and the second for the SNES, being the first title in the series to receive a simultaneous release on both platforms.
The Genesis version was developed by LookingGlass Technologies, which was simultaneously creating Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss. John Madden Football '93 adds new animations and features, and allows players to play as and against famous teams such as the 1976 Oakland Raiders. Aside from Madden Football 64, the game was the last in the Madden franchise to lack the NFL license, which was featured in Madden NFL '94 onward.
Upon its release, John Madden Football '93 was a commercial success, and went on to sell more than a million copies. Critics awarded the game high scores and praised its updated graphics, but several reviewers complained that little had changed since John Madden Football '92. Royalties from the game funded the expansion of LookingGlass Technologies, and the company's director, Paul Neurath, later commented that the size of these royalties led EA to develop future Madden titles in-house.
The game can be played on the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation version of Madden NFL 2002, as well as the PlayStation versions of Madden NFL 2003 to 2005, including the collector's edition of the latter game on the PlayStation 2, with updated rosters and official NFL team licenses.
John Madden Football '93 is an adaptation of American football that takes place from an isometric perspective in a two-dimensional environment. The player begins each match by selecting such variables as the game mode, weather conditions and team(s). Game modes include pre-season, regular season, playoffs, and sudden death. In addition to the game's single-player mode, two-player competitive and cooperative modes are available. Unlike in prior games in the series, a coin toss at the beginning of every match determines which team will kick off, and which team will defend each goal.
Before every down, the player selects a personnel grouping, formation, play and, on defense, coverage shell from a menu. The game contains fifty-five offensive plays and seventy-one defensive plays, such as screen and play-action passes, blitzes and man-to-man defense. During a down, the player may control one team member at a time or allow the entire team to execute a play automatically. On offense, depending on the play, the player controls the quarterback, running back or kicker. After a pass, control automatically changes to the ball receiver. On defense, the player may at any time switch control between any members of the team. Instant replay is available to review plays.
New features in John Madden Football '93 include no-huddle offense, overturning certain calls made by referees, taunting, stumbling, head-butting and one-handed catches. As with its predecessors, the game features updated statistics for the twenty-eight NFL teams in the game, based on their performance in the previous season. In addition to these teams, eight famous team line-ups, such as the Oakland Raiders of 1976 and the Dallas Cowboys of 1977, are available. An "All-Madden Greats" team is compiled from the best players in the history of the sport and an "All-Madden" team is compiled of recent standout players. No official player or team names, colors, or stadium names are used.
A special version of the game for the Sega Genesis, titled John Madden Football: Championship Edition, was initially released as a rental-only game before it was later re-released exclusively via direct mail. This version of the game uses only "championship caliber" line-ups from the 1966-1991 era. Although it still lacks official names, this version features correct team colors.
