I don't see anything in your post. Did you mean one of these?


Or maybe one of these?

I had one of these Electric Football games as a kid. The field would vibrate which would make the players move every which way. Now they go for big bucks on ebay!

I have old Stat-o-Matic football, baseball, and hockey games that my father bought new back in the day. The baseball is from 1967, the hockey and football must be around that time.

I can't recall if this is the cover. I'll have to go check.

Actually, I think OP means this https://retrobowlgame.com/ when he posted the informative and verbose posting above.

No I meant the game for Android phones, but I played hours and hours on the ones you pictured. I forgot all about the bottom one, great memories. We still have several NFL teams for electric football stashed somewhere. I remember they were about $6-$10 per team so we loaded up on a few, mostly the Packers (home and away) and a few of their rivals.

A great PC game from years ago was NFL Challenge. Not like the Madden games, but strategy with some randomness thrown in

We had one of those vibrating football games at our house, too, when I was a kid. It was fun.

We had a mechanical hockey game that was a complete blast to play.

In the pre-digital era, my dad and I played this one:


The game play still holds up, imo. Offense & defense pick a play (pass, sweep, blitz, etc) with a card, roll dice to add some luck, and mark the results on the game board with grease pencil.

And a side story: in high school, a friend and I had a little business going, installing switches in those old electronic football, baseball etc. handheld video games so that kids could turn off the sound. That let them play in class, church etc. without as much chance of being caught.

Actually these are relatively modern compared to the one I got as a kid...
