What was this game?

[PapaBear]

Snoogans post of the annoying old electric football game got me thinking about a hand me down game I had as kid (very boring one).

I think it had "Hall of Fame" in the title. It was just a cardboard box with a light bulb inside. You and your opponent each had cards with offensive or defensive plays on them. You'd each pick a play and lay it face down on a translucent window. You'd turn on the light, and slowly pull back a cover card that was on top. That would combine the two cards and show how the play worked out.

Anyone know what this game was?

EDIT: Since it was a hand me down from much older brothers, there's probably NO chance anyone will know what I'm talking about. Unless Blowhard pops back in someday.

I played this game many time and I know that this is a 1964 - Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. This is very popular game of football up to 1975. This game is very old but still good to play. Many people of world played this game in old time. This game is launched into 1964 so it is called 1964 - Pro Football Hall of Fame Game.

You come off a bit spammy.

Who remembers the Atari 2600 baseball game? You know, the one where as a batter, you could decide when you wanted to hit a homerun by pulling back on the stick. I don't know if anyone ever played that game beyond the top of the 1st inning.

Was that the one where all the players were stick figures? If it is thats the first video game I played for money.

Was that the very first one ?

Where all 3 of the OFers moved in unison ?

I also seem to remember that it was only a HR if you hit it right over 2nd base.

Looks like the first one was called Homerun :

Now that I look at this it doesn't seem like the one I remember.

As I said I remember one where the LF/CF/RF all moved as one.

[cougarjake13]

dont remember the name but i remember the 3 ofs moving as one and fucking hated it cause it would always fuck me up and if oe guy was closer there no way to make the closer guy get it alone you had to quickly move joystick what ever way to move one to get there




fucking loved baseball stars on nintendo ... only baseball video game where i actually played full games and full seasons just to see how many homers i could hit

[JimBeam]

I actually liked the first RBI Baseball but eventually Baseball Stars became the go to game.

I never got into any of the Playstation or XBox baseball games because to be honest they were too involved.

I remember playing that game when I would be in the waiting room of my dentist's office when I was younger.
