It was the old Tudor electric football. The game has come along way since then. If you know what you are doing you can actually make the players do what you want them to do now, no more running in circles !
There are leagues all over the country and even a convention.
Those little plastic players actually look like the real players now , complete with chinstraps , facemasks names on their backs , etc . they look just like the nfl or college teams . Here are some pics here. http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h84/jeffpriest/
