Coleco

Description

Coleco Industries of Amsterdam, New York, introduced this hand-held, battery-operated electronic version of the game of football in 1978. It could also run off an AC adapter, but there is none with this example. Players could move by kicking, passing, or running; as shown in a black foootball-field display above the control buttons. The game may be played at one of two levels of difficulty. It was manufactured in Hong Kong.
