NFL 98 (USA) for the Sega Genesis is the 1997 entry in the legendary Madden American football franchise, and notably the final 16-bit installment released for the system. It brings classic 11-on-11 gridiron action featuring authentic rosters and teams from the 1997 NFL season, built on the refined engine that defined sports gaming in the 90s.
How to Play
The objective is to outscore the opposing team through passing, rushing for touchdowns, and kicking field goals. Standard controls for the Sega Genesis are the D-pad (mapped to arrow keys in the browser) for movement and play selection. The A, B, and C action buttons (mapped to A, S, and D or Z, X, and C) are used to pass to specific receivers on offense, or cycle defenders and tackle on defense. Press Start (Enter) to pause the game or call a timeout.
Tips
- On passing plays, pay attention to the button icons above your receivers; pressing the corresponding action button will throw them the ball.
- Use spin moves or stiff arms right before contact when running the ball to break through the defensive line for extra yards.
