About this game
The Madden Football series makes its debut on the Game Boy with Madden 95 .
Unlike most games in the series since 1993, this one does not include a NFL license, and thus features generic team names.

The included teams, stats and schedules are however based on the 1994 NFL season.
Standard game modes include exhibition games, full seasons (including playoffs) and playoffs.
Special modes include Championship playoffs - featuring 38 legendary champion teams, including Green Bay '66, San Francisco '89 and Pittsburgh '78 - and Franchise playoffs - featuring 12 'all-time' teams.
Exhibition mode allows players to select from all regular, champion and franchise teams plus a regular Madden and an all-time Madden team.
Game length can be set between 20, 40 and 60 minutes.
The game features a playbook of more than 80 offensive plays (including fake punts and field goals) and more than 60 defensive plays, all of which can be flipped.
The game also features freely definable audibles, substitutions (quarterback and halfback only), timeouts, and game stats.
Gameplay during a game is seen from the top, with the field scrolling vertically.
Players are moved via the D-pad and the Game Boy's two buttons are used for throwing the ball left or right during passing play, spinning or diving during rushing play, selecting the defender closest to the ball or tackling during defensive play, and so on.
About Sega Game Gear
Sega's Game Gear (1990) was a technically capable handheld competitor to the Game Boy, notable for its full-color backlit screen — a real advantage at the time, offset by famously poor battery life. Its commercial underperformance against Nintendo's handheld means smaller print runs overall, and complete, well-preserved cartridges (the plastic shells are prone to yellowing and cracking) are a genuine niche within retro handheld collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Madden 95 for Sega Game Gear 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.
Adding Madden 95 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GG release dates back to 1995.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Madden 95 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
