Classic Mattel Football Game
I remember this game so well. It’s like I saw it yesterday…
Actually, I did see it yesterday, because my two year old was trying to play it! No kidding. I think this was my older brother’s first electronic game, along with the baseball version. He would play them for hours, never giving me a turn.
Somehow, it ended up in my house, and the crazy thing still works! (I can’t get a cordless phone that will keep a charge for more than 30 minutes, but this thing is still going strong!) I have a feeling kids today would laugh us out of the room if we tried to convince them that moving a few red dots around on a teeny-tiny screen could entertain them for hours. And we thought it was high-tech!
Ahhh…the simpler times.
