Electronic football

Who here had an electronic football game?


Every person on here under the age of 45 is like "huh?"

 

you mean electric?

 

.., I’m thinking everyone, regardless of age is saying or thinking .... HUH??

 

Or Merlin ? Or clackers ?
Or AFX cars with Magna traction.

 

Strangely I knew exactly what he was talking about.

 

That’s the one I had

 

Egad!

You're old.

Don't ask how I know.....

 

I had this one.
Still have it, and it still works.

 

I had several, one of them had the guys that vibrated around on the field. Another had sliders where you selected your defense and your opponent selected his offense and then you turned a handle and a light would illuminate the result of the play. You did NOT want to select the reverse. Never worked.

 

Like this? Yes.

 

A friend got this for Xmas many moons ago.

The box ended up being more interesting.....

 

Clackers. VILE fucking invention. Ask my knuckles.

 

Some people are easily amused.

 

I had that one too as my main Christmas present one year

 

I had the Mattel and my brother had the Coleco. Passed the time on MANY road trips and there are a LOT of Duracell's in the landfill from the hours we spent playing those games.

 

Yup.

 

My morning baby sitter would go back to bed when ma dropped us off,and I would play mine until time to go to the bus stop.
No wonder I'm a fucking idiot.
I woke up at 4 am played this shit til 7 am, and was supposed to focus in school

 

Still got mine and complete with my horrible paint job on them lil players
