Developed by Tiertex and published by Electronic Arts, Madden NFL '95 arrived on the Sega Game Gear in 1995 as a sports game.

It landed about 4 years into the Game Gear's life. Other notable Game Gear releases from 1995 include Tails Adventure, Sonic Drift 2 and Sonic Labyrinth.

It is part of the Madden NFL series; on the Game Gear you can also try Madden 96. The series also appears on other systems with Madden NFL 2004 (PS1) and Madden NFL 2002 (PS1). Tiertex also made FIFA International Soccer, Paperboy and Star Wars for the Game Gear.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the Game Gear hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you need current teams and rosters
  • you are looking for something to play with friends
