Looking for stuff for a neighborhood yard sale I came across my old electric football game. You remember...buzzzzzzz. Then set all 22 players up and ...buzzzzz. then set all 22 players up and....buzzzzz. So what did I do, yep I set all 22 players up and ...buzzzzzz. No way I could sell it.

Now when we see the game played it's always as if it's fucked, the players going around in circles or every which away, that's bullshit. This is how you play in the EFL.

First thing you do is find out what bases do what. Yes they are all different. Some are fast, some are slow, some go to the left, some to the right and a few straight ahead. So after you find that out you take the fastest as your backs and receivers. They will also be your defensive line. That fastest base that goes right will be a back who runs that end sweep to the right, and so on. You also play tackle and not touch. A back has to be pushed out of bounds or stopped dead and pushed back. Once a back gets 10 yards past the line of scrimmage now it does become touch for obvious reasons.

You roll the dice to complete a pass. If you have an open receiver (meaning he isn't touching an opposing player) you roll the dice, you have two of the same color and one of another color. If all three say the same thing...interception. If the two of the same color are even...completed pass, if they are odd... incomplete.

Field goals are done the same. You have to be inside the 30, if you are and decide to try a FG, even dice...good, odd...no good, all three say the same thing...blocked. All punts are 40 yards from the line of scrimmage.

Me and some cousins/friends would play the game for hours, we used those rules. We each had our own game so yep, home and road...hahahaha!!!!!!! Imagine traveling with a box full of electric football players. Obviously they had to be painted.

Here we see how it isn't done. They have it too slow to begin with. They have no clue who does what. A return man who goes around in circles:rolleyes There you'd want your sprint champ who runs straight ahead.


Obviously the EFL can't compare with Tecmo Bowl.

Oh yeah...

Forget those kickers, no way in hell they work. When you're at a kitchen table and the cat can kick into another room.......

Oh yeah...

As all EFL players know the first thing to fuck up is that switch. They only last thru so many buzzzz. So you unscrew the housing tear the wires from that housing and touch them together. Sure you'll get the occasional shock but football is not a game for sissies.
