There were a number of "Computerized" games that were put out by various companies in the early 70's. Most are not very good. This is one of the exceptions. The "computer" mechanism used to get the results works well and there are enough different plays to run that it doesn't get boring too quickly. It was endorsed by Roger Staubach of the Dallas Cowboys. Aurora also made a Monday Night Baseball verision of the game.
The game parts are in EXCELLENT condition. It is 100% complete. The game includes: the playing field, 3 offensive play selection cards, 4 defensive play selection cards, instructions booklet, 2 plastic field goals, 2 plastic football players, 1 plastic 10 yard marker and 1 plastic line of scrimmage marker. I have tested the computer component and it works as it should. There are no tears in the paper part of the field. The instructions have some handling wear. A few of the cardboard play cards have minor creases or corner wear but on the whole they are in nice shape. Overall I would grade the game parts 7-8 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The game box is in GOOD-VERY GOOD condition. The box for this game is made of very thin cardboard so they tend to get pretty torn up. This copy was taped right down the middle so I assume there was a tear. There are also a few small holes punched in it. Not bad otherwise with bright colors and no writing or nasty stains. I would grade it a 4-5 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
CONDITION GUIDE:
MINT
(10): I will only give this grade
to brand new, unused items. NEAR MINT (9):
Shows virtually no use. Seldom if ever played.
Perhaps some very light handling creases to the
instructions
or other minor flaws with the game parts. Boxes will have
only
the slightest hint of shelf wear. EXCELLENT (7-8):
The game has seen some use but it was obviously well taken care of.
Game parts
might have
some light handling creases or other signs of
careful use. Board might have just a hint of color loss or
dented
corners. Boxes will have light rubbing to the artwork or
perhaps
some minor dishing or a very light stain. VERY GOOD (5-6):
The game was not especially well cared for but it still has
faired pretty well. Game
parts will show obvious use but nothing will be torn, badly
stained or have any serious damage. Box may have
some
rubbing, light staining, dishing, 1 or 2 neatly split corners,
minor writing and/or a few pieces of tape. No major
structural
damage and artwork will still be generally attractive. GOOD (3-4):
Obviously no care was taken with the game but it is still playable as
is. Game parts show
considerable use but the game is complete with all parts in
usable
condition. Box may have staining, writing, split
corners,
dishing and/or other structural damage but it will be intact and still
usable. POOR
(1-2):
Only suitable to fill a space in your collection.
Game will be missing
parts (these will be noted). Box will have serious damage and
may
be missing aprons or badly torn.
