John Madden Football
麦登：John Football
John Madden Football, released in 1991, is an American football simulation developed by Park Place Productions for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Players select from NFL teams and compete in organized football matches, managing both offensive and defensive play selection throughout four quarters of gameplay. The game features digitized player graphics and maintains a comprehensive database of real teams and authentic rosters from the era. Gameplay requires players to call offensive and defensive plays before executing them in real-time, with intuitive controls mapped to the SNES controller for passing, running, and defensive positioning. The game includes both exhibition matches and full season modes where players progress through complete campaigns. A 2-player mode enables direct competitive matchups between human opponents, providing multiplayer football action for home entertainment.
