Run, You Little Red Bastard!


Football 2

I wasted so much quality time on a contraption just like this. Using little red LEDs, it was a remarkably engaging simulation of professional football. Your team was red. Your quarterback was bright red. The ball was red … and blinking. And every touchdown was announced with this tinny attempt at a trumpet blast.

Mine is probably in the attic of my parent’s house, sadly baked into the corner of a disintegrating cardboard box and leaking 9-volt innards into the insulation.
