my name is biff mullin and i am a 34 year old male. back when i was
around ten or so my parents got me a hand held electronic football game that
i played for hours a day. i could not and can not for the life of me find it
at my parents house.
all i remember is that it was a little bit larger than a gameboy, it made a
particular sound when you scored or made a first down or turned the ball
over. (remember this was close to 25 years ago so i may be off on a few
things!) also the men were minus marks or like this: - - - Do you know where
i could find one? it would be a fantastic X-mas present for my nephew that
has everything, except for this!!!

thank you with this matter...

Biff,

I believe the game you are talking about is the Classic Football game that was made by Mattel in the 70's, because I had the same game. You aren't going to believe this, but I was shopping at Walmart the other day with my kids and found the exact game!! I ended up buying one for myself because all my old electronic games that I had growing up were lost. Apparently, Mattel has brought back the game for a limited time. Go to the kids toy section at Walmart and look where their electronic handheld games are. You should find one there.

Good Luck.

That would be the Electronic Quarterback and I have one if you want to buy it.

I have one, found it in donation to goodwill
it runs on a 9Vdc battery
It was very easy to beat once you knew the program.
I saved it from landfill,I also played it as a kid.
How much would you pay for it?I kind of like it for the nostalgia facto of how much we have progressed.

There is a re-release of it in December of 2000 in Wal-Marts only. I missed out but purchased one from www.4jay.com (in the new items section). Very cool.

I have one of the above games. Although I've had it for over 20 years, it has been used sparingly and periodically. I received it as "joke" gift when I was in my Forties. I still have the orginal box and instructions that it came in. If you are interested, please respond

I woul like to buy the game that you have for sale!!! Could you please send me a picture of the game to my e-mail. Depending on what shape the game is in, I would be willing to pay $20, maybe more.

Perhaps this is the game I have been looking for, are you able to scan a picture of it and e-mail it to me or perhaps fax: 1-320-748-7376.

Gee, I hope this is it, my boyfriend soon to be husband would love this for a Christmas Gift.

I hope that you can help.
Monica
