Default Table top FB games

vintage 1960's-1970's era "Electric Football" games...there's something oddly cool about 'directing' the players using that crappy plastic little wheel-thingy to make the player pieces "do" what you want them to, and that sh!tty little pencil-point sized foam 'football' that would get vacuumed up whenever it was booted from the playing surface onto the carpet (never - EVER - to be seen again) has an unmistakable charm of its own, as does the cardboard stadium backdrop that had to be assembled/propped up to make the setting somewhat "realistic"

p.s. - I'm an unapologetic 50-something, and those were the freakin' days!
