Mattel Classic Football 2 Game

Yes this was the "new" version of the old game. A great way to identify the difference is the "old" game took a 9v battery while the "new" game takes AA batteries. There are differences in play as stated in many other reviews. But I have enjoyed this game immensely since it arrived. It's been 30 years ago that I played this game on the school bus, even "renting" it out to people at school sometimes. (Hey, I also bought a pack of Bubble Yum Bubble Gum every day for .25 cents and sold the 5 pieces for .25 cents each, a dollar profit on the gum alone ! LOL) I was quite the entrepreneur back then. This game has not lost it's magic ! If you are "thinking" about getting it, I would urge you to today !

I only played it for a couple of times when it started malfunctioning I replaced the batteries per the instructions it still won’t work correctly I tried to get it replaced but I’d had it like 50 days but only played with it a couple of times! Total waste of money! Do not purchase one!!!

Was exactly as advertised. Arrived promptly and in new condition. This game provided me numerous hours of entertainment as a kid...usually under the covers on a school night. Brings back memories of when life and entertainment were much simpler.

this game is as I remember don't be fooled by the 1978 game people this 2002 game rocks every bit as good as the original and is only 8 years old not 30 also fastest delivery ever I ordered a game controller from someone else after I ordered from here both expedited and yours came on the day the other finally shipped my product. Also the quality of the game is awesome just what I wanted for the money I spent and of course football 2 rocks from the word go.

my grandson loves this Christmas gift and mom says it keeps him occupied for hours. I didn't think it would be such a hit, with all of the modern methods of playing games for kids these days. It was in great condition, resealed packaging but instructions intact and works well.

This game was in an unopened package, but the original battery was dead and, after replacing it, the game still barely works. Bad buy for sure.

Bought as a gift for 10 year old boy. Don't think he really appreciated it. These kids today want fancy electronic internet things with cool graphics and so forth. Oh well, I tried. Maybe his dad will play with it. My advice? Don't buy this for someone unless you know for a fact it's what they'd want.

I remember the boys playing this video game when I was a child so I thought I'd purchase it for my 8 year old son. Well, with all the modern video games available, this one became popular because of it's novelty. Over more modern video games, he chooses to play this one very frequently! A good toy is timeless.
