I had the NFL version of electric football...basically a vibrating metal sheet... tiny plastic football players on felt bases that went in the direction you faced them...line 'em up and turn the power on and see how they move...QB had a spring loaded arm.....put the little ball in the QB's hand, pull arm back and let it fly towards the receiver...hadda hit the receiver/player.....tough to complete passes.

I had the NFL version too but never seen the players on felt bases. My players were either the “bigs” with the molded plastic bases or the smaller ones with removable bases. One of the great things was to find a base that could actually go straight and not curl off to the side or go around in circles. Putting one of the straight bases on a “skilled” position player allowed for some long TD runs. There was, supposedly, a way to adjust the little prongs (…for lack of a better term…) under the bases but no matter what I did, it never worked.

There is a way to bend the prongs, but I forgot how to do it.
Not sure if they still exist, but years ago, I saw somewhere (youtube, ??), that Electric Football has made a resurgence.
Leagues, rule changes, tournaments, super bowls, the works……..mostly on the east coast if I recall correctly.
