dgb Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Electric Football (that's the one with the vibrating field). That was perhaps the greatest game ever produced. We played that non-stop during the winter. We even had a league in our neighborhood when I was about 9 or 10. Loved that game! I think I had six of the Mattell games. Their baseball game was pretty lame (Coleco, I think, had the best one) but Football II was just about as addictive as it got. I had that, Football I, Soccer, Hockey, Basketball, Baseball. ---------------- On 1/28/2005 8:30:29 PM Marvel wrote: I DO remember the vibrating football field where al the players had those little plastic strips on the bottom and would move around the field when you turned it on.

michael hurd Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I still have head to head football that used to belong to my brother dan! Takes a 9 volt, and has l.e.d's for the players. Sweet! Anyone bringing one to the Pilgramage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those modern hand-helds, such as the new Nintendo DS, are far more powerful than the friggan full-sized arcade games we played at the arcade in the mall! Hell, I'd be willing to bet that thing has more horsepower than my old 486-based PC! And I remember how many study halls we killed in junior high school playing those "Pac-Man" watches. ---------------- Yeah, but nothing still beats the old MAME systems... I have quite a collection that I use my xbox emulators to play quite often. Now if they could only get Raiden 2 to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Talk about a memory spike - I had both of those and the Colico one as well. As soon as I saw the photo I could vividly remember the sounds - scoring, turn-over on downs (when my buddy was playing of course)... Vibrating football - went through a few of those as well. You guys are getting me teary-eyed with memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like Raiden 2 to work myself. I remember dumping a few quarters into that one when they had it at the local bowling alley. I use my PC with a HotRod SE controller to play MAME games. I also have a spinner control for games such as Tempest. I would like to get a good track-ball setup, though. Maybe I'll sell my HotRod SE controller and get one of these instead (probably the "classic" version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
