Look what I found! It’s my old friend! Hey Mr. Football 2! How are ya What have you been doing all this time, hiding in a drawer at my mom’s house? Just laying silent, I suppose. Well, it’s time to wake up! It’s football time!

Oh, I used to love this thing. I got it sometime in the early ‘80s for Christmas one year. Before that, I had an old Coleco Electronic Quarterback, but the buttons were all worn out. The “Up” button was busted I believe, and that’ll sure put a damper on your running game.

Thank God for Santa Claus. The Mattel was WAAAY better. Everything was better, from the electronics to the buttons to the build quality. It was the best portable gaming had to offer until something called the Gameboy came out.
