Here's a video I made featuring Electric Football Artist Scotte "Bricks" Turner.

Yeah, unfortunately Tudor's number have certain amount of transparency to them. I would recommend Beenut also Home (beenutt.com)

Thanks for posting. These are the kinds of things I like to save and keep in the archives of the museum. (Hope you don't mind I added them to the website) "As solo implies, it's my game, my rules, my weirdness." You are exactly right. It's your game and your rules. do whatever makes the game and hobby fun, interesting and exciting for you. Like I have always said "Just have fun and play the game!!" As for myself, I just play a pretty basic game of electric football. Not too many deviations from the original rules of electric football. I do use "The Kicking Game" Kicking cards that I created, occasionally, for kicking, punting, Field goals and extra points. But I also like to use the TTQB as much as possible, since that is a skill I don't want to lose. For more about Solitaire rules that others use. check out the section in the NEFGM library on solitaire rules and to learn more about the kicking card.

Just a note to say thanks to Tudor Games for the great Customer Service. On a recent order one of the teams I ordered was missing when the package arrived. Well, today I received the missing team and a nice surprise!! A Tudor Games logo sticker. Now that might not seem like much to most people, but to me it is awesome!! Especially since I collect anything and everything regarding electric football and this will definitely be a welcome addition to the museum's "artifacts". Thanks Denise in customer service.

Awesome Video!!

Absolutely!!!

Dayrl, Yeah, figured that was you. In reviewing these old issues of Plugged In!, I am always coming across familiar names. They are a very valuable resource for many of the things I do here with the museum. In that same issue, here I am sitting across from Jerry McGhee at a Bama Blast tournament playing a game on his custom-built Big Board.

Found this "Letter to Miggle Toys" originally published in the Fall 1999 issue of Plugged In!. Thought you might enjoy. Dear Mr. Landman, About two years ago, my wife got me an Electric Football Game for Christmas. Over the next two weeks, I enjoyed playing the game with visiting friends and tinkering with it myself. Unfortunately, the game went into the box and under the bed – “interference called on account of life, family and work. A week ago, I had the rare day to kick back and relax. Due to preseason football and college football on TV, I pulled out the game from under the bed and had a blast! Everything was there except the rules and the order form. They must have been thrown out with the rest of the Christmas trash two years earlier, because I gave the house the FBI treatment to no avail. On the box was the address for Miggle Toys, so through Information, I got the number and called. With the help of a pleasant lady at Miggle, I was told I could expect an order form in the mail. Imagine that! Real help from a real human being! the second surprise came when I received not just an order form, but also a copy of Plugged In! Well, I got excited. Real excited! The newsletter featured real guys like me who grew up with Electric Football (I still own the Super Bowl III game and no, it’s not for sale). There was product information and tips on how to play (Thank you, Steve Graham. I can now pass!) I am using the game to teach my eight-year-old Pokeman fanatic the finer points of Electric Football; things like why safeties don’t play 80 yards deep and why we stop the buzz when the player turns around in the opposite direction. The nostalgia is thick. I mean, who of us didn’t use to line the teams up to play a weird game of 20th century jousting? Why did it take me two years to catch up with this great hobby? I don’t know, except I believe all things happen in due time. There’s a form of expression visible in the teams one chooses to play, as well the offensive and defensive schemes used. Its also a way to pass along something to my son that is as fun and valid as any video or computer game available. Thanks to Miggle and their efforts in keeping this hobby alive and well. Sincerely, Daryl Collins, Tuscaloosa, AL -Watts Current - Plugged In!, Fall 1999

Try this. Vintage Football Card Gallery: Images of Old Football Cards, 1888-1979 Yes, it is hard to find skin tones for players. I don't do anything that you haven't already tried.

Yes, so true!!

No. Most people I have bought games from are selling because their kids don't play with it anymore, never played with it, cleaning out their closets and attics or reselling flea market and yard sale finds.

Been awhile but the last time I bought one it was $60.00 for a 30" x 60", 10 years ago. Depends on the supplier and size. Yes steel not aluminum if you want magnetic.

For our upcoming Electric Football Art Show we will be receiving on loan from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Tennessee Oilers uniform worn by HOFer Eddie George in their last game as the Oilers vs the Minnesota Vikings on December 26, 1998. We are extremely grateful and honored to be able to display this uniform along with some of the Eddie George EF figures currently owned by the museum, but we could use more. If you have any Eddie George figures that you would consider loaning or donating to the museum for this exhibit, it would greatly be appreciated. You may contact the museum by email at nefgm2019@gmail.com Also we would like to see as many pics as possible of your Eddie George EF figures. Please post them here. Thanks for your contributions to this historic event.

I don't know for sure what the thickness of the metal is that Tudor uses, but most people who build custom boards use either 24 ga or 26 ga metal. I have always used 24 ga because it seems to be more readily available from most sheet metal suppliers.

Awesome write-up!! Love it!!

Unfortunately, OJ will be most remembered by most people for his off-field troubles later in life instead of the NFL Hall of Fame RB that he was. I would still but OJ on my Bills teams if I had any.

Unfortunately, actual printed catalogs are probably a thing of the past. Tudor might have some that they pass out at trade show events. But the only ones that I have been able to find lately are just pdf. downloads.

I suppose that is something I could work on. Not sure exactly what you are looking for. I do have a lot of product information in the way of Toy Fair Catalogs and Rule books that are available for veiwing in the NEFGM Library on the nefgm.org website.

Here are some display's I have made using EF Figures. First is a Vintage Gotham Figures Display. Figures from the 1950's and'60"s the last row are painted in 1950's NFL uniforms. The second is an assemblage combining some jewelry box drawer inserts, "Vanderbilt Commadores" Bumber Sticker, "Tennessee Volunteers 1998 National Champs" license plate and custom painted Vanderbilt and Tennessee teams. Will be displaying these in the upcoming EF Art Show.

Awesome Video!!

WOW!! That's the cool thing about solitaire though. Whatever makes the game work for you.

Thanks for posting. I like it. How long does it take to complete a game?

Glad to see the LIEFL up and going again!!
