About this game
Madden 97 is the last appearance of the series on the original Game Boy.
Coming from developer Tiertex, it is based closely on their Madden 96 for Game Gear , with similar menus and options, but with platform-appropriate graphics and no digitized speech.

Like earlier Game Boy titles in the franchise, Madden 97 does not feature an NFL license, so offers only generic team names.
Still, teams and stats are based on the 1996 NFL season.
Game modes include Exhibition, Season, Playoffs and Sudden Death. 30 regular teams plus the traditional All-Madden team are available.
Besides the usual features like selectable game length, freely definable audibles, flippable playbook, timeouts and substitutions, previously Game Gear-only features making their first appearance on the Game Boy include variable weather and injuries.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Madden 97 for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
