My mom used hate having to find my foam "Footballs"!!! How could anyone hope to complete a pass, with darned big white QB(LOL)!!! Also, hated how the paint would chip off, as you handled the players!!! UGGGH!!!
I used to lose the little foam footballs all the time too! You'd try to get the QB to make a pass or kick a FG and the damn thing would fly across the room! lol
My brother and I got that game for Christmas '71. . .it was the coolest thing. . .'til our ol' man got his next electric bill. . .holy kah-RAP!!did we ever hear it!! It was back to the Bas-Ket game for us!!

the worst part of this game is if you accidently put some pressure on the board, it would bent in and then bent out and all the pieces would go flying around!
I got this game as a Christmas present way back in the early early 70's. Didn't work as advertised. Players would be going every which way. Passing was ridiculous. When your man got open, you'd stop the vibrating and use a QB with a movable arm to try and hit the open man with the football magnet. Which was next to impossible. Over all a dumb game that didn't work. A much better football game from that era was Monday Night Football. No contest.
@berezin99 I t was a stupid ass game. They had a plastic time clock which timed 15 minutes. If you played by it the game would take a week to play! i had superbowl IV. It came with the vikings and chiefs and from what I hear, the early tudor superbowl series is worth hundreds of dollars. Of course, i gave my game away to my younger cousin!
@TheTzdope I agree 100% this was the dumbest sports game of all time. Even as a kid I thought it was a waste of time. I had a lot of sports board games and they were always a lot more fun than this thing. It amazes me that some people still love this game. They even had a Championship every year for this thing. AWFUL!
@TheTzdope Dude you are SO right. Hell I don't even know many people that even remember that basketball game that thing was Super Fun i saw one on Ebay I should have bid on it and table top hockey is still a great game to this day. But football was just awful... the thing about it was if you had all the teams like i did it LOOKED cool. You just couldn't play the game thing.
@Keyo717 I could make every shot on that basketball game including the corner shots which were next to impossible; however as i mentioned in a earlier post, those electric footballs are valuable especially the tudor early superbowl series. even more valuable than electric football games from the 1950's, where the game originated from!!
just thinkin here. it should be possible to have little mirco chips to program these more correctly now! actually the technology is there! be more realistic than any video game!
this was the greatest growing up as a lil boy in the 70s just hours of funmy fave team was my houston oilers with earl i ran him every play i had the entire old afc central division browns bengals and steelers wow what fun i am sitting here thinking back cos its christmas morning when i would get a new each christmas awesome.............i am interested in leagues if anyone has a league get back with me id like to join peace!
I'm in my 50s and played this as a kid. I tell my 30 year old son who grew up with Intellvision and Atari all the way to Madden 09, and he ddn't believe me, so now I have prof how it use to be LOL. Thanks.
i forgot you like to smell farts out a dog ass! ohh dam thats your four legged mother! you need some help dildo still? the only bag you know is douche for your moms worms!
Huh... No Stain! But being thats all you have ....lol I hope you enjoy putting the little football players up your ass and calling your friends and telling how you got ass raped by the Dallas Cowboys...AGAIN! Oh yeah... it's still an awful game. But enjoy .....lol
excuse me your the cyber bitch commenting! and now we know how sensitive you are? feeling a little wet down there? not smelling so minty fresh? douching dosent work? how about a MAXIPAD! your showing us your girl side now! do you need a break from your period?
No PUSSY.... what I said was I thought this was an awful toy PUSSY and you had to get your panties in a bunch PUSSY and make a PUSSY comment about it PUSSY. It's my opinion that this was a dumb game...So what I'm sure I'm not the only person that feels that way BUT a PUSSY like YOU had to get carried away. All you had to say was dude I think it's fun ...I'm ok with that BUT a hiding behind his PC BITCH like you had to get all hurt .... PUSSY! go play with your little men! Oh yeah .... PUSSY!
This is the same Tudor model with both Giants and Browns I got for Christmas in 1969. I also had most of the NFL teams I was given for Christmas the proceeding years afterward. I had all of original NFL teams and most of the teams that were in the AFL that later joined the NFL . I just didn't have the BIlls and the Pats (before the Seahawks days) .
I Still have all my teams that are in in great shape (or playing shape)
you gotta know how to adjust the bases, and the capabilities of each player. some runners can run right, turn the corner and go a certain distance. some only go left and turn the corner for a certain distance. some can go straight up the hash for 100 yards.
how to run a trap play: take a lineman (a tackele)and secretly turn his base backwards. this way, when the play starts he'll go backwards and the defender in front of him will come in untouched. have the guard from the other side of the line to pull by pointing him in that direction. by charging in the defender will vacate his area and the hole will be open. have a decoy facing in the opposite direction so the defense wont be stacked to the one side. gotta keep the defense guessing.
Me and my older brother and friends used to paint our own teams, sometimes just switching from dark to light jerseys, etc. Very tedious but a lot of fun.
How much time we all wasted trying to run real plays when in reality it was just not possible. It was never much more than a game of running up the middle and hoping the defense all ran towards the sideline.
When the ttotal team control bases came out i honestly thought i could pull linemen and shit. No way!
I had a friend who had a brother 10 years older than him and he had players that were much smaller and more narrow than the ones that you see from miggle and tudor. They made for great runningbacks because their bases were so narrow.
I had this set, and mine came with the Giants and Browns, too. I eventually sent off for the Cowboys, Lions, Rams and a few others.
Yeah, if you were looking for something resembling real football, you were out of luck, but I had a blast with this thing. Back in the day, this was all you had when it was too dark to play the real thing with your buddies.
In 40 years, Madden 2008 will look pretty lame, I bet. So, enjoy it while it is new, guys.
I had damn near the WHOLE LEAGUE! My personal team was the Dallas Cowboys, and my friends each claimed a team for themselves. We drew up a ten-game schedule, and played each other for a joint a game. The winner of the Stupor Bowl got a lid...PEACE.
