Depends on your definition of
"videogame" (coin-operated, home unit,

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 think that was RS. I had one of those too. Got pretty boring pretty
quick, cause you could fake down, go up three times and spaz on the
forward button for a guaranteed first down every time. (or was it a
guaranteed TD? I can't remember.)
I wish I still had the thing, I think I eventually took it apart to 'see
how it worked.' ;-)
