Mattel's "Talking Football" used the same multi-groove record principle.
Later adding "Monday Night Football" to the title, the game flowed where the player on offense chose a record disk based on what you wanted to do (QB run, outside run, short pass, etc.) and the defensive player chose which defense to employ (prevent, blitz, inside run, etc.) and push the record in.
Demo of the game
Three of the records were special situations, (punt, kick, etc.) and were double sided. I remember the call of one interception, "It's a leaping interception! He's going to go all the way! Touchdown!"
Spent many hours playing it.

Here’s the Hall of Fame Game I referred to earlier. I think this is an early version because I don’t recall it being exactly the same. The defensive players weren’t just dots but rather full lines and players. I was playing it around 1975 through 1978. This game was from 1965. As I recall, the offensive and defensive place were slipped into a slot and not just placed on top.
However, the gist of the game (turning on the light to see where the lines intersected) was the same…

I had at least a thousand of these. I would build forts out of popsicle sticks and have wars. I would use old school Testors model glue to burn both the soldiers and the forts.

my uncle (who's only 4 years older than me) and I would line our army men up and either end of a long hallway in my grandmother's house and roll and ball bearing back and forth until everyone was dead

I think every kid who grew up in New Orleans in the 70s, had his “other favorite team.“ Every year it was the same thing with the Saints – by the second preseason game we would start hearing “wait till next year.“ We all needed a team to pull for in the playoffs because the Saints didn’t stand a freaking chance.
You knew who everybody’s “other favorite team” was by both the Sears jersey they wore while they were outside playing and by what fake pleather letterman jacket they got from the Sears catalog and wore in the winter.

What's scary is that 30 or 40 years from now all the internet games and all the things are playing now will be seen as hopelessly behind the times because new more advanced things will be popular.
Lord only knows what these new modern things will do, what the games will play for and how we will measure wins and losses.

Us girls in the ‘70s-‘80s had Easy-Bake oven, Barbie Beauty Center, which I proceeded to cut all the hair off, and my mom got really mad, and this doll named “Drowsy” that you had to pull a string and she said, whiny sleepy things, like, “I wanna drink of water.“
Spirograph was my favorite!

I had spirograph, fashion plates, lincoln logs, tinkertoys
No easy bake, baby dolls, or barbie heads.
I had the barbie house but I cared way more about the furniture and decor than the dolls

We did the same. For some reason, we always made the “radio man” the most important guy….

I had a few of the toys mentioned, but the one that still sticks in my mind is the Hot Wheels track. A pissed off mother could whip the hell out of a young young man with a length of Hot Wheels track if he did not clean up his track and Hot Wheels like she told you to do.

Mrs. Beasley Doll. I didn't have one but when I was around 4 or 5 years old I stole one out of spite from a girl down the street because she would not let me play with her brother's GI Joe Jeep. The GI Joe Jeep was pretty cool.
The girl's name was Susan (no pics) and no last name because I do not know when the statue of limitations run out, but I stuffed it in a large evergreen shrub bush ( or something like fig 2 but big) that was at the end of our driveway because I didn't want get caught and I didn't want to get whipped with a hot wheels track or anything else that was in arms length of my mom.
20 something years later (1990's) I was cutting down the then more massive shrubs for my mom and found the the Mrs. Beasley doll, it was pretty beat up but the head was still recognizable. I had forgot about the doll until then. I didn't tell my mother what I found and why it was there because she may still have had a length of Hot Wheels track that she kept in reserve for me.
That's my confession to a crime and I still feel bad about it. Looking back, I was kind of a mean little shite back then, even though my wife thinks I'm still mean. Luckily, I had a mother that beat (or at least put for the effort) the meanness out of me and I miss her everyday God rest her soul.
