FS: Atari Football, Coin-Op 1978

[ASM]

This is the Xs and Os two player track ball game.

Tested and working. The game is in good condition, and the monitor is also good. I have had this machine since before 1990. The game has been upgraded with a switch mode power supply for the 5 volts, and cooling fans have been added for the PCB and the cabinet. The coin door has been modified to have a push button switch to add credits.

The main ad is on Craigslist Toronto, you can contact me through that, or here. Please see the photos, and contact me with any questions. I will leave this add up for about a month and then take the best offer. If you are interested please make an offer through craigslist, mention that you are part of CGCC.

Pick up in Mississauga, near Queensway and Mavis road. Pick up only, no shipping.

As as separate sale I have spare parts of the machine, including a spare track ball and parts, spare play selection plastics, and a spare main circuit board. These are being sold separately also on Craigslist.

Tough game!

"This can be one of the most physically challenging games that was ever manufactured. Since the speed of each player depends on how fast the trac-ball is spun, your shoulders must be strong and your hands must be tough. Painfully sore palms and pinched fingers have rendered the hands of unseasoned players useless for days." (ref: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_deta ... e_id=13018)

"Considered physically exhausting to play, Atari Football involves spinning the trackball as fast as possible to win the game. Just 90 seconds of play could result in sore palms, and longer could cause blisters. Nevertheless, Atari Football was as popular as Space Invaders during the 1978 football season, but its popularity waned later on." (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Football)

I already have an Atari Football, thankfully.
