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.
Anyone else remember this? Know what it was called? Got one you'd part with?
Thanks in advance!
