NFL Quarterback Football Game
1970 Edition
|
There were a number of
"computerized" games that
came out during the late 1960's-mid 1970's. These were not what we
think of today as computerized. I guess the term had a much looser
definition then.... This is one of those early games. The 2 opposing
coaches select their plays and depending on how the selections line up
the game lights a bulb that reveals the play result. The game features
dials with the likenesses of all of the then-current NFL quarterbacks
and you can select which one you will be playing as by spinning the
dial.

The game is in VERY GOOD
condition. It has all it's parts except for the bulb so I can't test
it. It has been my experience that these types of games typically don't
work as soon as you pop a battery in. You should assume that it will
need to be tweaked to get it going. It is a very simple mechanism so if
you are at all handy you will be able to get it working. The paper
field has some air bubbles but no tears, stains or writing. Overall I
would grade the game parts 5 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
|
The game box is in VERY GOOD condition. It has one
partially split corner and some typical shelf wear. I would grade it a
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.
