Comments left:	I'll use this version as an example. The 1970 JC Penney toy catalog sold, by Gotham Electronics, the Super Dome electric football game (the name preceded the New Orleans Superdome by three years, as the Saints played at Tulane University's stadium). The game was NFL endorsed, and had the normal features like the rumble field and workable scoreboard. Price was $13.50, and two complete teams were included, with option to customize by ordering additional teams, according to which you rooted for. Coleco did the same with its Super Bowl and other electronic games. On the down side, these fell way short of a full simulation. No officials/penalties, and the players were hard to control. Some didn't even come with first down markers. Despite these flaws, the games were big sellers, until video games began cutting into that popularity. The most popular of the old electric games were the "Monday Night Football" ones starting in 1971.
