John Madden Football '92, released as Pro Football in Japan, is a football video game released by Electronic Arts in 1991. It was the second Madden title released for the Sega Genesis, following the original John Madden Football from the previous year, starting the tradition of annual installments.
New aspects of this version include instant replay, two-player cooperative play, quarterback injuries, highlights, and more audibles. There are also new play modes, such as pre-season games, regular season games, playoffs, and sudden death, which was a way to simulate overtime in NFL games. Quarter lengths have been adjusted in this version to be set at 5, 10, or 15 minutes. As in previous versions of the video game, there are no NFL or NFLPA licenses for authentic teams, player names, and stadiums. Teams are organized by city name and colors.
