Considering the overall age of this game it is still quite entertaining. The graphics are acceptable and the replay device let's you see what happened fairly well. Would have been nice to have a playbook or a function to see the diagrams larger and longer than in play calling mode. I play against the computer and allow the game to generate the action so I don't have to use all the keypad responses. It takes a bit of time to get a grip on the strengths and weaknesses of teams from 1994-5 but the game is consistant when certain matchups are repeated. All in all it's not too bad.

Excellent transition to this unit, good value, December 30, 2006

I picked this up at a closeout price (too good to mention) because I loved both of these games on the Sega Genisis. They still move just as fast, and the playability is still about the same. The graphics are pretty good remembering what the genisis was like, few details are harder to see. Also the names of the players are not there, but that is ok. This is a great combination. I just hope they put together a college football package, my alltime favorite EA game. Check this out, the price is dropping and you can't go wrong. This travels with me to play when I'm on call. Excellent toy for all ages.

This is the real deal and it's a classic!, May 4, 2005

Fun:
If you know anything about sports games, then you should be well aware that Madden 95 and NHL 95 were the two pre-eminent football and hockey titles that re-defined what a sports game should be. They were both revolutionary in graphics and gameplay while on the Sega console systems, and the depth of game options changed how sports games were made moving forward. Jakks Pacific and their TV Games line has done a perfect job in bringing these classic sports titles back to the market, and any sports fan will appreciate these two gems. The really cool thing is how they combined both games into one controller, so you are getting a double dose of classic sports gaming. And you can play head to head and talk smack to your opponent. This is a classic.


The hockey is good, football is not, January 28, 2005
By Craig M. Ryan (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:
A near-perfect translation NHL '95, and a not-so great port of Madden '95. I'd originally heard that FIFA '95 (soccer) was supposed to be on here too, but I guess it never made it to the final product...

I got this last night - the hockey had some ommisions from the original (like the players NAMES - here you only get the jersey numbers; I assume there was a problem with licensing, possibly related to the current NHL lockout?!), but otherwise was still the same great game, and is a ton of fun to play.

The football, however, was barely playable. You can barely read the plays, and there's hardly any sound (no crowd noise, poor 'Maddenisms'), and even the music at the title screen isn't the classic music - it's just the re-used hockey music.

Design / implementation-wise, I thought they could've made it so you could daisy-chain the controllers together, but no - the single player version of this is a completely separate product - if you want to play two player you have to buy the two-controller version - you can't add on at a later date. This is unfortunate because these games (in the original Genesis versions) supported 4 players, which of course ups the fun factor by A LOT, but isn't possible they way Jakks decided to put it together.

I will continue to love this product for the hockey game, but I won't even look at the football game again. If you're an old-school fan of NHL'95, then this is worth the cash, but I just wish they could have left out the football and enhanced the hockey (like putting in the players names - it's hard to remember who's who from back in '95!).
