Anyone old enough to remember the old handheld football games?

I'm trying to explain how things were when I was a kid to my son, and I wondered if you could find some of the late 70's early 80's handheld football games on ebay. What would you search for? I don't remember any names, but I remember playing those things for hours.

 
oh yeah, i had one. i was decent, i could play for 20-30 minutes i think
somebody posted a picture of one in a thread a while back
 
You can still buy the Mattel one just like the one in berzerker's link. LED's and all, just like in the 70's.

I used to have the Coleco Head-to-Head Football. I understand a company bought the rights to the Coleco name and plan to re-release it.

I still have my old Mattel Electronic Hockey from 1977. 😉
 
My father got one from Mattel for me to test prior to release in the 70s (he worked at TRW next door to Mattel and signed me up to do product testing, which got me LOADS of free toys).

That was a LOOOOONG time ago. I was in grade school.
