OMG those damned electric football games! I've never been a football fan, but my older brother lives, eats and breathes all things football. He must've owned at least ten different versions of those electric football games when we were kids. He made me play those dumb things endlessly. What a STUPID game!! Set the little players up, throw the switch and just watch as these guys vibrate around with absolutely no rhyme or reason to their movements.
He would get a new one every Christmas and if I didn't play with him he would just beat the crap out of me.
Those handheld electronic sports games are actually being made again using the same tech and plastic colors so they look like they did all those years ago. Anyone else remember a toy line that had a 1911a pistol that opened up into a tiny playset with figures? There was a grenade one too I think, of course parent groups didn't like this at all. I wish still had my vintage laser tag guns, we ended up with one that was missing the cover for the battery compartment so we had to fix it with electrical tape.
What I always wanted but never saw anyone have was the electronic Maxx Steele from the Roboforce toyline. That line didn't last long actually, i got one toy from it as a mail away.
