Default Nice!!!!

Man that Tecmo Bowl had me put my men away!!!!!

But nothing can touch electric football though. I can remember the first time seeing it when I was around 7 or 8 yrs old. They moved without touching them..............

My eyes almost fell out of my head! I still liked other toys, GI joe (big ones with real hair) Lone Ranger action figure, Tyco & Aurora race tracks, the micronaughts, showgun warriors,. ect

My dad would always go to thirft stores to get his construction clothes, and he would bring home an EF board for me! Never did understand why those were bigger than the ones I would get from ToyRus? That board was the smaller one with the super bowl teams from the previous year.
I still have a filled out order slip for teams and bases I was going to send to Tudor for some stuff. They went out of bidness tho. Miggle must have kept their records because I started getting the newsletter, and well the rest is Nat'l history

Great find Wolf!!!!


the F.O.T.H. is Nat'l

Default Wow!

I had the Foto Electric Football game. It was interesting but not as fun as EF.

Great find Wolf.

Default man

I remember that hand held game. We spent hours playing that thing. But you guys are right, it might have replaced EFL during that time, but it didnt really take our minds off of it.
