Starting with the Electric
Baseball game that he designed for Parker Brothers in the early 1930's,
Jim Prentice produced a string of Electric sports games throughout the
middle of the 20th century. In addition to the Baseball game he made a
Football game, a Basketball game and an Auto Racing game (called Whiz
Raceaway). There were a number of different versions of each of these.
As you would expect for that pre-computerized era, the electronic
aspect of the games is very basic, but the games are still fun to play.
