Pretty nice. Suddenly my thumbs hurt, my eyes are strained and I feel a need to go to Eckerd's to buy batteries. :)

Some cool games on there. I wish they had the old Mattel electronic football game. Had this one growing up and now realize that I should have held onto it.

$120 bones!

I had this version of the football game. Got it as a stocking stuffer, and who knows what knock-off outfit made the thing. It was still fun as hell, until you got to the point (after several hours or days) to where you could run the ball into the end zone on nearly every play.

Once you figured out the game patterns, you were set. It would 56-0 by the end of the first quarter.

I had that one too. Also got it as a stocking stuffer, oddly enough. Guess Santa's elves made a bunch of them that year. :biggrin:

Eventually got this slightly more sophisticated football game though.....

Hey, at least that one had little 8 bit electronic blobs representing the "football" players, instead of just the simple - of the generic Mattell knockoff.
