Domark's football-themed Genesis game, and a cart that sits about at the middle.
Marko's Magic Football was developed by The Cartoon Mavericks and published by Domark. It came out in Europe on 21 July 1994 and in North America in October 1994 under the shorter title Marko.
What the press said at the time
| Sega Magazine Issue 8 | August 1994 | 58% |
“Marko's is just about there - it's almost a decent arcade adventure and it does genuinely offer something different, but I just found it very annoying to play.”
“The animation is brilliant and is perhaps some of the best I've seen on a Mega Drive cartridge yet.”
“This is just way too average and once it's completed, there's very little reason to return.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits about at the middle. The European loose cart usually costs less than the US one, while a complete European copy costs about the same. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
