John Madden Football, released as John Madden American Football in Europe, is an American football video game released by Electronic Arts.[1] Loosely based on the 1988 video game of the same title, it was the first entry in what eventually became the yearly Madden NFL series on home consoles, initially released for the Sega Genesis in 1990. It is sometimes called Madden '90 or Madden '91 to distinguish it from subsequent entries in the series.[2][3]

A Super NES version was released in 1991, which incorporated content from the second Genesis installment released during the same year (John Madden Football '92), followed by a reworked Amiga version in 1992.[4]
