So who had to pass these back and forth in the back of the bus on the way home from basketball games?
Went to a private Christian academy so we were segregated on the bus and didn’t get to give our attentions to the cheerleaders. Mattel electronic football it was.?

We passed it around in the back seat of the car on long trips.

Got that one Christmas and had it mastered to get a touchdown on every run within an hour. Was not challenging after that.

I can almost remember the pattern for running the touchdown on that thing!

Did you upgrade to the green version? Deluxe I think it was.
Used to do the baseball and basketball versions later on.

Same here. 40+ years later, I think I still have the muscle memory to beat it again within 5 minutes of playing. There was only like a few different line setups and it was game over after that.

Got the baseball one the same Christmas. That one was a little harder.

No, it was the stand alone game. Also got a couple of other Radio Shack knock offs that year and a "Simon". Anything that had a LED was "high tech" .

You can still get that on Amazon, along with electric football (where the players vibrate across the field.) We wore out all the little records on our Talking Football game.
