Old Football game

 Does anyone remember electronic football? 

My dad had a copy back in the day that we played non-stop as kids. I remember when it eventually broke, I saved up my money in '88 to buy a brand new one for myself. I clearly remember walking into the department store with mom, handing her my cash and when she rung it up, I saw I didn't think about the tax. 

I was short.

Thankfully, mom stepped in and paid for the rest. ENDLESS fun playing this game as a kid. 

Another one we had for a short time was Super Toe. You smashed down on the kicker's Helmut to have him kick the ball through a field goal. We played it outside because mom knew we'd destroy something if we played it inside the house. 

It eventually broke and was thrown away. 

I wouldn't be interested in owning either of these games anymore, but electronic football was so special for me as a kid, with the Super Bowl approaching, I thought it was a good time to recall these games.
