John Madden Football '92, released as Pro Football in Japan, is a 1991 American football video game developed by Park Place Productions and published by Electronic Arts for the Sega Genesis. It was the second Madden title released for the console, following the original John Madden Football from the previous year, starting the tradition of annual installments.

New aspects of this version include instant replay, two-player cooperative play, quarterback injuries, highlights, and more audibles. There are also new play modes, such as pre-season games, regular season games, playoffs, and sudden death, which was a way to simulate overtime in NFL games. Quarter lengths have been adjusted in this version to be set at 5, 10, or 15 minutes. As in previous versions of the video game, there are no NFL or NFLPA licenses for authentic teams, player names, and stadiums. Teams are organized by city name and colors.

Development and release

John Madden Football '92 was released in December 1991 for the Sega Genesis.[1]

Reception

MegaTech gave the game 95% and a Hyper Game Award, saying that "you'll enjoy it, even if you don't care much for the sport".[4] In October 1992, Mega placed the game at #1 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time.[5]
