 Depends on your definition of
"videogame" (coin-operated, home unit, 
 computer, commercial, etc.) One of
these should fit what you're looking for:
 When I was in high school, there was a precursor to the Lynx/Gameboy/etc.
 crowd that was a football game.  There were little red LED's(?) to represent
 players, and you had up, down, and run buttons to control the quarter back.
 It was very simplistic; you basically just ran the quarterback until you got
 a touchdown (but I think you could do a fieldgoal?)  Anyway, I think Radio
 Shack sold one, but it may have been someone else.   
I remember that.  It was cool.  My brothers would never let me play it but
I finally got to and couldn't figure it out at first but when I did I
realized it was pretty fun.  However, if you were fast enough with your
fingers, you could always score a TD on the easy mode.  I believe it was
made by Coleco?
