Promotional Copy Of Legendary Genesis Game

John Madden Football - Wata 9.6 A+ Sealed [Clamshell, Promotional Copy], Genesis Electronic Arts 1990 USA. Heritage Auctions made headlines across the country when our cardboard box copy of John Madden Football sold for a record price in January. There's bound to be a lot of attention for this elusive variant as well. The game's original release featured EA's standard cardboard packaging. This later variant features a clamshell case with the updated Sega Seal of Quality. There's plenty of debate amongst collectors regarding where these clamshell variants came from. The general consensus is that they were distributed as promotional copies. The clamshell case lacks a UPC code, and the back features ads for other EA games. Regardless of the version, the importance of John Madden Football cannot be overstated. This was the first console title in the legendary Madden football series, which was endorsed by the late, great football coach and announcer. Given its excellent condition and rarity, this lot would be the standout piece in the collection of just about any Genesis or sports video game collector.
