Riding on the success of LED Football, TouchGrove has released LED Football 2 [App Store]. The $0.99 sequel offers new features, including:
- Running. Scramble in any direction, even backwards
- Kicking. Punts, runbacks and field goals.
- Passing. Go for a touchdown or gain yardage
The celebrate the launch, TouchGrove is giving away a 24k Gold Bezel iPod Touch 1.0 that comes pre-loaded with a limited-edition copy of the LED Football 2 app. Contest details will be posted to their website. The developer provides this video:
The original LED Football [also $0.99] was based on the electronic handheld game from the late 1970's. TouchGrove is expecting to release LED Baseball in January.

This should have been an enhancement to the original and not a separate app.
For $0.99, I think the original appropriately delivered exactly what was promised.

It should not have been an update because it is a completely separate game. I own the original LED Football handheld game, and the TouchGrove simulation is nearly perfect. I have not played Football 2, but thanks to them, I get to do so for only $.99. Well worth it for such quality.
Dude…. can I say late 80s with this one? I'm sure if I go to my parents place and dig through my old toys/games I can find the original. That 9v battery would last a lot longer then my iphone I bet! But ya, we're talking hand-me-downs from my brother in the 80s on this one. Bo Jackson FTW! "Bo Knows"
This is definitely a new game and not an update. As a kid I had both Football and Football 2, and they were originally separate games back in the day.
Besides… for 99 cents a piece they are both a real steal to relive the old days!
Now if only Nintendo would get off their butts and do iPhone versions of their Game & Watch series!
