There was a football game. Preceding Madden 1985. I pick a disc, then a play. Defense adjusts and we push mini disk in and hear play. What game was that?

I believe it was called Talking Football. If I recall correctly, it was Dick Enberg's voice calling the plays. Pretty sure my version is still in my parents basement. My Dad throws nothing out.

The draw was money against the blitz....

super call bigs. it almost sounds like they used the logic in this for the first few nintendo football games, like Tecmo Bowl. if your dad still has it it sounds like a collector's item and worth some $$$.

I have Talking Football and Talking Baseball at home... They were great. DrugS is too young to remember Talking Football o Talking Baseball.

Hell... I still have an "Electric Football" game at home where you would spend 10 minutes setting up the players in formations and turn on the electricity. Then they would all spin around and do nothing, eventually congregating in one corner of the game table in a group hug...

I'll be up there in June and see if I can dig it out. They still have all the games from our childhood. Our bedrooms are virtually untouched (Dan Pastorini poster still on the wall), my wife thinks it is more than a little bit creepy, but when we moved out, they didn't feel the need to redecorate.

Probably time to grab some of the potential collector's items and bring them home with me where they belong.

Seems to me, last time I fired it up the Talking Football (about 15-20 years ago) Enberg's voice was deep and dragging. Fresh batteries didn't help.

Nice pull on that article Phil. Christmas 1972, I was soon to be 9 and this game was right in my wheelhouse.

F*ck yeah... my buddy and I used to play foosball at his house for hours and then head over to this bar which had that game and pump that thing full of quarters. He owned me in foosball, I owned him in bubble hockey.

Was actually thinking about buying a table, they're expensive though. $3k for the coinop version, $1500 for the non-coinop home version.

I don't think it's that strange to be honest. My parents still have a bunch of the board games from like 1983 when we moved into their current house. I never had a bedroom but if I did I'd imagine it would look the same even though i haven't lived there in 12 years.

I used to have the electronic game that Steve mentioned. I had all the teams and spent hours on top of hours playing it by myself. I never used the power, I just controlled the teams manually. For the life of me I never understood how they expected you to pass the ball. I think it's F'n impossible.

I think I had the disk game too, but I don't remember too much about it. Anyone interested, it's on EBAY.

Holy crap!! My Mom is selling my sh*t.

That first one gives a location of GR, MI. That's where my parents live. If they even knew what ebay was, I'd be worried.

The second one looks brand new but....$200!?!

Anybody have one of these?

I used to bruise my hand smashing him on the head trying to kick one just a bit farther than the last.
