Madden NFL 98 is a Sega Saturn American football game developed by Tiertex and published by Electronic Arts. The eighth entry into the popular Madden NFL series of sports titles, the game was first released in August 1997, and is the last Madden title published on a Sega system.

Later that October, Madden NFL 98 was ported to the Sega Mega Drive by the same developer[5] and released exclusively in the United States.

Development

While the Mega Drive version of Madden NFL 98 was developed by Tiertex, much of this version's production and testing were handled by publisher THQ.[5]
