Wow...old stuff under the bed
Going through more of my stuff today, I found some old games that belong to my dad and/or his siblings.
First up, an old hockey game. You know the type I'm sure: metal players, each controlled by a stick that can be moved in and out, as well as rotated. No idea what year it's from. (click for larger pics)
Next, the APF TV Fun, model 401, from 1976. One of many pong consoles from that time. Took a whopping 6 "C" batteries! I think I brought it home a while back (since I didn't have a real video game system until partway through high school), but all of our tv's were too new to hook it up properly. :-P
Finally, Computer Football from 1969. Basically, the person on offense would pick their play from the table. Then the person on offense would press one black button and the red button, and the person on defense would pick one black button. The combination would light up the bulb on one row, and you matched that with the column for the play you chose. Then just do what the table says (interception, fumble, number of yards gained/lost).
