More About Electric Football:
Miniature plastic or metal players are placed on the field, and then the electricity is turned on. The board vibrates, causing the players to move. The original games offered little control of the players' movements, but by 1971 manufacturers started developing effective control systems. Tudor's competitors in the Electric Football market included Coleco, Gotham and Munro. Today, Miggle Toys continues to manufacture Electric Football games.
