MATTEL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL
Handheld Electronic Game 
Complete In Original Box

The WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP series of games was Mattel's attempt to capitalize on the 2nd generation of electronic handhelds. These were 2-player tabletop models with improved graphics and much more advanced game play than the 1st generation of games. No more dots and dashes to represent the players. These games had symbols that were actually recognizable as human beings! They were in may ways based on the Mattel Intellivision Video Game system cartidges that were popular at the time. Unfortunately there were a lot of problems with the games. Oftentimes the displays did not function properly and the battery connectors were easily damaged. And to top it off sales were not great. Too bad because these games really are great fun to play.

The game console is in VERY GOOD condition. All buttons, switches and sounds work. The movement buttons work very well but the play selection buttons sometimes needed to be pressed a couple times before they kicked in. This shouldn't affect your ability to play the game. Battery cover is present and battery compartment is reasonably clean but there is some corrosion. Display screen works fine. I would grade it 5 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
