1978 LED Football Game Coming Soon to iPhone
posted August 27th, 2008 3:15 AM EDT by arn in Upcoming GamesFor the retro handheld gamers out there, TouchGrove let us know that they are working on an iPhone version of the old 1978 electronic handheld football game. The app will be called LED Football and is presently in beta testing but they are hoping for a release as early as next week.
The game will be priced at $0.99 and should bring back memories for some:
I am SO buying this. I used to LOVE that game!!!!!! (yeah, whatever. I'm old)
This is ultra rad. This was huge 30 years ago and so cool to have it coming in this form.
What about baseball?
Or the basketball one. I loved them all as a kid, but that's the one I got the most enjoyment out of.
Completely fantastic idea. I will be buying it given the price. Yeah, mostly for nostalgia (and so I'm glad it will be no more than $1), but the game was fun too, at least at the time. I guess I'll find out if it's still fun now.
What's next? A Merlin look-alike?
I still have my original Electronic Quarterback (by Coleco). Still works…I still use it.

I cannot wait for this to come out. I didn't have foot ball back in the day but I had the old school LED soccer game that was just like it. At $.99 just try and get me to not buy it!!
This game was and still is amazing.
Cue the lawsuits. Will people never learn?
(Unless this is officially licensed from Mattel)
Whoa, this will me make me feel like a little boy all over again! (I'm revealing my ancient age) I'll buy it the day it launches.
I agree there could be legal issues with this game since they rereleased this in the stores in the US last winter. I think the baseball version was too.
I will purchase this game for my o2
My o2 has all the features of iphone .
waiting for this game.
