Mattel Classic Football 2 Game - Electronic Handheld Sports Game for Kids & Adults - Perfect for Travel, Parties & Indoor Fun

Yes this was the "new" version of the old game. A great way to identify the difference is the "old" game took a 9v battery while the "new" game takes AA batteries. There are differences in play as stated in many other reviews. But I have enjoyed this game immensely since it arrived. It's been 30 years ago that I played this game on the school bus, even "renting" it out to people at school sometimes. (Hey, I also bought a pack of Bubble Yum Bubble Gum every day for .25 cents and sold the 5 pieces for .25 cents each, a dollar profit on the gum alone ! LOL) I was quite the entrepreneur back then. This game has not lost it's magic ! If you are "thinking" about getting it, I would urge you to today !This item was purchased for my husband to take with him on deployment. He loves it It is exactly what he had as a kid and he was so excited to find it again. The seller was great! Shipped the item very quickly and even refunded the extra shipping charges. My husband is like a kid again and it is serving as a great way to occupy his time while he is away from the family.I liked it but the lights were dinner then my original. A little pricey.my favorite old school gameClassic Football 2I know its Vintagebut for about $50it’s borderline pricebut works real great!this game is as I remember don't be fooled by the 1978 game people this 2002 game rocks every bit as good as the original and is only 8 years old not 30 also fastest delivery ever I ordered a game controller from someone else after I ordered from here both expedited and yours came on the day the other finally shipped my product. Also the quality of the game is awesome just what I wanted for the money I spent and of course football 2 rocks from the word go.I only played it for a couple of times when it started malfunctioning I replaced the batteries per the instructions it still won’t work correctly I tried to get it replaced but I’d had it like 50 days but only played with it a couple of times! Total waste of money! Do not purchase one!!!This gift is exactly what the seller stated, great condition!!! We opened and played immediately. My boyfriend absolutely LOVES his gift ♥️ Thank you and happy holidays!!!!Not quite the version I had hoped to get. This has more buttons and controls (sound on/off, for example). The one I remembered was powered by a 9V battery (this one uses AA batteries), and had FOUR modes, Pro1, Pro2, Kick Pro1 and Kick Pro2. The little tunes are different also. Still have my original, I received for Christmas, when I was doing a Med-Run on a Submarine back in the early 80s. It was awesome then, is awesome now. I guess you might say I'm easily amused.
