John Madden Code Wheel
John Madden Football from Electronic Arts in 1989.
The game used a codewheel for it copy protection. Electronics Art used many different copy protection forms in the 1980s for it’s Commodore 64 games from Error checking to FAT Tracks on 34/35, to Pirateslayer and then to Codewheels and manual look ups.
After the boot screen and you select
Start Game you get this screen that
ask for your Madden Season Ticket
There was already a print out of the codewheel, BUT it’s pretty confusing look at this: John Madden Football
SO I found a code wheel on Ebay and bought it to scan for my blog, here it is in PDF and PNG. Hope this helps someone. MaddenScan.PDF and MaddenScanPNG.zip
