Classic Video Games

The original one is white and is called 'Mattel Electronic Football'. The name was changed later to 'Mattel Electronic Football I' because Mattel added a second game 'Mattel Electronic Football II'. Football II has a green case and has 2 players on offense, a QB and a WR. It allows you to pass. I have both of these. I also have 'Mattel Electronic Basketball II' (orange color). (Again an improvement over BBI in that you have a partner and can do 3pt shots). I also remember seeing advertisements for other Mattel games such as hockey, soccer, and a type of car racing game. I might still have the flyer in the original boxes. Dan
