1. John Madden Football

Cover Star: John Madden (Wearing A Polo)
Year: 1988

Everything has to start with something. The Big Bang. The American Revolution. That anarchist shooting Franz Ferdinand and starting World War I. The lost pilot for Star Trek where Lloyd Bridges played the captain. John Madden Football. John Madden wasn't just bursting through a chalkboard on the cover of that game. He was bursting through history.
