F*ck yeah... my buddy and I used to play foosball at his house for hours and then head over to this bar which had that game and pump that thing full of quarters. He owned me in foosball, I owned him in bubble hockey.
Was actually thinking about buying a table, they're expensive though. $3k for the coinop version, $1500 for the non-coinop home version.

Probably time to grab some of the potential collector's items and bring them home with me where they belong. 
Seems to me, last time I fired it up the Talking Football (about 15-20 years ago) Enberg's voice was deep and dragging. Fresh batteries didn't help.
Nice pull on that article Phil. Christmas 1972, I was soon to be 9 and this game was right in my wheelhouse. |
I don't think it's that strange to be honest. My parents still have a bunch of the board games from like 1983 when we moved into their current house. I never had a bedroom but if I did I'd imagine it would look the same even though i haven't lived there in 12 years.
