Handheld electronic football game

The one with run only was awesome. If you could hold the ON/OFF switch just right, it would start adding TDs to the home team’s score as the clock ticked down. Scores got incredibly high.

Around the same time, I had an electronic game called COMP IV. The computer would think of a 6 digit number and you had to guess it in the fewest tries possible. COMP IV would give feedback on how many digits you got correct and what position they occupied. I never see that game get any love but something about it clicked for me. My Dad refers to it as “that game that made you lose your mind.” He was right.

Stretch was pretty boring after a short time. The brother and I decided to operate on Armstrong and it didnt end well for him.

BTW- He was filled with red looking gel.
