Title: John Madden Football: Championship Edition
Post by: Lord Nepenthean on February 23, 2005, 11:43:09 AM
Question for Tynstar or anyone else who knows about this game.....  I was looking at this:

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/collection.pl?action=gamesearch&ID=U-040-S-02960-A&folder=Collection&foldername=Collection

... and saw that you have it listed as complete with box and manual.  Do you think you could do scans of those sometime?  I have two carts of this game, but always thought it didn't come with a box or manual.  It was a Blockbuster exclusive, right?

I'll try to pull the cart out today and scan it.

Well, the scanner I used didn't seem to like the stupid EA yellow tab, but:

I might re-scan it later with my usual scanner.  At any rate, it does indeed say "Rental Store Exclusive" on it, so if it did come with a box and manual, those have got to be even rarer than the game itself.  Here's the game page:

I have a CIB one of those. I will scan the box and manual for ya.

And yes it was a BB exclusive.  Cost like $95 bucks back then.

Yeah, that's what I thought.  Very cool that you have the box and manual of that.   I know I've never seen it before.

I actually remember a few years some people i knew were debating if any boxes and manuals stil existed because they had never seen any.

Thats actually the first time i think i have ever even seen the cart.

I got both of mine for less than a dollar because I was paying more attention than the store employees were when they priced it.  Most people just see "John Madden" and automatically price it under a dollar, and then most people looking through Genesis games automatically pass over anything with "John Madden" in the title without purchasing it.  If you look carefully though, you may come across one of these.  I came across two over the course of about one month.....  and I'd probably have another by now if I hadn't (for the most part) stopped buying games two years ago when college started.

I picked up an extra CIB one for Suppafly for around 7 bucks I think.

I added teh box and manual scans.

Thanks for that.  It's a pretty rare game, so it's always cool to see something like that for the first time.

Glad I could help.
