Is Madden NFL 98 still worth playing in 2026?

A late entry in EA Sports' franchise on Mega Drive, Madden NFL 98 offers a mature, complete simulation, with updated rosters, fleshed out modes and gameplay honed by years of iterations. On a console at the end of its life, the title pushes the machine to its limits to offer one of the format's most accomplished American football games. The production stays constrained by the hardware. For someone nostalgic for 16 bit sport or a Madden fan, the title keeps an appreciable depth and richness.
