Who is an OG or should I say who is an OM

I was jousting reading about madden 25 and was thinking how far they have came. I remember back in the day playing the original madden when I was 13. So I just want to know how many of us late 30 and up guys out there still have played all the maddens or what year of madden you remember staring with. You youngster and join in to.

I'm 24, I started playing Madden with 04. I actually started playing Madden before following NFL and learnt the rules that way.

I've probably played them all. To be honest, I thought Madden was pretty overrated in the early days. I loved Tecmo Bowl, then Tecmo Super Bowl then Sega's NFL 94.

Sega's NFL 95 was a big disappointment to me, and that's when I really started paying attention to Madden.

I can still remember the first time I ever played Madden(or the Sega Genesis for that matter) it was Christmas Eve 1990 and my buddy had gotten a Genesis and Madden for an early Christmas present, he called me over and I was blown away. Up to that point the ONLY game was Tecmo Bowl for NES, but Madden was just so much better. Needless to say I went out and got a genesis and Madden the day after Christmas, I bought every Madden after that day one religiously for years, breaking the string in 95, we all know why. For the next several years I was a "Gameday" guy until 99 where I went back to Madden, and stayed.

Got a Sega Genesis and this Madden

Been riding ever since.

Been playing since the first one on Genesis. But didn't get to into it until college and Madden on the PlayStation 1 (96). I was a tecmo Superbowl fan forever. In fact I still play now and then ( both regular and updated rosters. I loved the season mode with stats. Once I got into Madden at college I never looked back except for a few 2k years.

I remember trying the very first madden I didn't like controls etc .....so then I went onto tecmo bowl.... then gameday.... then to 2k5.... then finally came back to madden for 08 and having been playing madden ever since.

I started with Tecmo Bowl, and eventually played all of the old (terrible) football games in that time period. I remember some kind of John Elway game that was incredibly bad.

When the Genesis was introduced, I went to the Joe Montana games. My god..those were awesome games. I also enjoyed the Quarterback Club games, and, of course, Gameday 98 on the Playstation. The NFL2K brand of football has been by far my favorite along the way, but I have played every Madden along the way.
