Nope, had the Mattel electonic football. You remember the sound of a tackle, heard at the end of SuperTramp's "Logical Song". Trick was to kill the speaker so you could play during
class....;)

hehe, I had the Head2Head Soccer one :)

But, did anyone have the table top arcade games? Like Ms Pac Man, QBert, etc? They were about 1 ft. sq in size.

Hooray! Apparently, I'm not the only one over 30 on this forum. I had that exact Coleco football game! Was like, $100 back in...sheeeeet....um, (guesses) 1981-82? Man.......we are OLD. And just think; Red Dawn remembers the advent of the color television! ;) :D

I tested Mattel's Electronic Football game back in the 70s. My father worked for TRW and Mattel was right down the street. He put me in to be a tester and I got new toys before they were released to the public. I tested Big Jim and all his buddies and vehicles too. :)
