Remember those table football bame sets that used magnetics and electricity?

You set the men up in position, then turn it on. It made the buzzing sound as your men jiggled and glided their way across the metal surface.

I cant recall the exact name of thing, but it was fun at the time

...this is what I have been here thinking about for the last ten minutes😕

They still make them.

I got my brother one for Christmas.

Too bad he gets things and just lets them sit around forever. He hasn't played it, nor has he even OPENED the digital camera my parents got him.

I think from now on I'm just going to give him savings bonds, so by the time he touches them they will have tripled in value.

Electric football?

I still have one I got as a kid back in 1972 and the teams are the St. Louis Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys. It still works.

I had a friend that had one. It always seemed like it would be fun, but he never wanted to play with me. Ever since then (20 years), I've occasionally wondered how passes worked in the game. Can anyone fill me in?

Those were cool. I like the hockey game better... the one where you control the hockey players by moving and twisting the metal rods.

Foosball > table hockey/air hockey/electric football/...

I always used to wonder how those things worked. Never seen one in action.
