Foto-Electric Football Game, 1948-1950
Add to SetSummary
Cadaco produced this Foto-Electric Football Game providing a more realistic game experience. Players became coaches and called offensive and defensive plays. Inserting cards into the field viewer and flipping a switch, a light underneath lit up the plays revealing the results. The game progressed under normal football rules. In the late 1970s hand-held electronic games replaced this novel game concept.
