Madden isn't terrible, it plays at least as well as other football games of its day and has some awesome FMV.  Dislike of football is likely the driver of this vote, but I argue it's unjust.

Yeah, Madden is perfectly playable.

I never played Sim Earth on Turbo CD but man, that game was a letdown after Sim City.  It felt like you just couldn't do, like, anything.  I halfway want to pick up a copy and give it a shot just to see if my memory of the game is at all based on what the game is actually like or if I just couldn't grasp the goal as a ten year old...

Did you ever try sim farm? It looks rubbish but is actually quite engrossing.

[Necromancer]

I had a demo of Sim Farm.  I wasn't as cool as Sim City, but 'twas quite entertaining for a short while.

I like corm!

i was always intrigued by SimGolf.  it looked cool to be able to make your own courses then play them.
i never did pick it up and try it though.

I never played Sim Farm but I liked Sim Ant an awful lot.

Yea, Madden on the Duo was basically the same as Madden on the Genesis or SNES.  I owned it back in the day.  It was more or less just an unlicensed Madden '93.  Were the other systems even doing licensed Madden games at that time yet?  Or did that come in later?  Either way, not a bad game, just a... Madden game.

I don't believe Madden 93 had the NFL license at that time.

Early Genesis EA games weren't fully licesnsed.

I thought he meant the NFL license to use NFL teams and players rather than the license from Sega.

That's also what I meant. NHL Hockey wasn't fully licensed with real teams and players until '94.

Posted this in the wrong thread so I'll just repost it here verbatim:

I played SimEarth for the first time today and it is kinda boring. It is somewhat cool to see life evolving until you realize you have little control over what is happening. it is very limited too, I made a planet where the sea was full of life and land had dinosaurs, I was expecting the game to get to a point where the sapient fish would wage wars with the dinos.... Imagine my disappointment when I found out that only one race can become "smart" even though both were very similar intelligence wise according to the game's charts.

Maybe my expectations were set a little bit too high for the game.

I want a game where a fishmen civilization can nuke their dinosaur neighbors, am I asking too much?
