Madden NFL 95 (GB)

Madden NFL 95 for Game Boy/Color brings the classic American football experience directly to your handheld. Players get the opportunity to control one of the 28 available NFL teams from the 1994 season, complete with updated rosters and player statistics. The primary goal is to lead your chosen team to victory in various matches.

The gameplay in Madden NFL 95 focuses on both offensive and defensive strategies. On offense, you'll select from a playbook of running plays, passing plays, or special formations. Executing these plays requires precision in controlling your players, from finding open lanes, evading defenders, to throwing the ball at the right time and to the right receiver. The ability to read the game and make quick decisions is key to scoring touchdowns.

On defense, players will also choose strategies to stop the opponent, including blitzes to pressure the quarterback, and various coverage schemes for man-to-man or zone defense. Controlling defensive players to tackle, intercept, or deflect passes is crucial for regaining possession of the ball.

Despite being a handheld version with simplified 2D graphics, Madden NFL 95 still strives to capture the feel of a real NFL game through player animations, characteristic sounds, and a relatively intuitive control system. The game offers both single-match (Exhibition) and Season modes, allowing players to experience the journey of taking their team all the way to the Super Bowl. This is a classic sports title, suitable for American football enthusiasts looking for a quick and engaging experience on the Game Boy/Color.
