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
Thanks, hope there is more comming
I think I already have every Commodore 64 code wheel there was on this blog. If I am missing any, please let me know so I can go and find them.

You are thinking AMIGA, it used a code wheel, the C64 version used Rapidlok copy protection. Maybe someday I will start an Amiga Copy Protection blog.

It’s ALREADY online here. On the right side menu, click Code Wheels & Sheets you will find all of my code wheels that I am sharing here. Thank you
Sorry didn’t see deth
My brother had a madden game for our computer and it had a code wheel. I can’t find any pictures of that wheel online. I remember it having pictures of stadiums on it, like a birds-eye-view schematic type drawing. It was one of the fields used to line up the wheel. Anyone have a picture of that wheel anywhere?
