1990 Sega
1988 on the Commodore 64. I'd buy off and on throughout the years, but 2008 was the last one I bought until 2019 when it came back on PC. Skipped the last few years, but bought this year's with the Super Bowl discount. I have already decided to skip next year's release as well.
Madden 93 on Genesis.
