John Madden Football is an American football video game. The game was designed by Electronic Arts. The newer games are known as Madden NFL. The name change for the game occurred after Electronic Arts got the rights to use NFL teams and players in 1993. It was originally named after Pro Football Hall of Famer John Madden. The Madden NFL games had sold over 100 million copies. In 1984, the founder of Electronic Arts had asked for John Madden’s help with the video game. The game was not officially released until 1988 because John Madden wanted the game to be as realistic as possible. Since 1990 Electronic Arts has released versions of Madden NFL every year.

Personal Experience:

I have played Bubble Bobble. It is an interesting game. The endings are different for single player and multiplayer. I enjoyed the series that Taito has made. The game that I enjoyed the most in this series was Bust A Move which used the two dragons as your main characters. 
To this day I still play Street Fighter from time to time. However, it was the version that was made for the Sony Playstation. Street Fighter was a good fighting series. I played this series until Dead or Alive came out. Dead or Alive had better graphics and more variety of characters and fighting moves.
