Sega Genesis prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A solid Genesis football game from 1994 that is among the cheapest US carts to buy.

NFL '95 is the sixth game in Sega's Joe Montana Football and NFL series. Double Diamond Sports and FarSight Technologies developed the Genesis game and Sega published it in North America on 15 November 1994. GamePro called it a strong contender with Madden '95 for the best football game on the Genesis, praising the real teams, current rosters, stats that update during play and well-balanced gameplay.

What the press said at the time

“happy to learn that they put in a play that will work almost every time.”
— Game Informer, December 1994

“This year’s installment of the gridiron classic will find a lot of fun play and some interesting roster management features, but Sega should have left well enough alone when it came to the graphics and artificial intelligence.”
— Game Players, April 1995

How the Sega Genesis version differs

Electronic Gaming Monthly's two sports reviewers scored it 87% and 92%, citing the option to control the receiver as a new feature.

Before you buy

It came out only in North America, so the US cart is the one to buy, and it is among the cheapest. Some modes save to a battery inside the cartridge, so test that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair, not a sign of a fake. Sega Retro lists the game as supporting Sega's Team Player and using the six-button pad. The cardboard-box release is priced separately and usually costs more than the plastic-case copy.
