Hey all,

I sometimes buy from 'The Mad Picker' in Aldergrove, and saw this Tudor Electric Football game. I thought some of your might be interested.

I played the Eagle Canadian Football game at a friend's house in 1964(?):

I quickly learned that the back fielders were stronger players and could be used to turn aside the weaker linemen and thus cut a path down the field for the ball carrier. When I encountered the game again at another buddy's place in 1968(?) I absolutely destroyed him as a result!

Eagle was acquired by Coleco in 1968 and was soon producing a couple of Canadian electric football games that were far more sophisticated in appearance:

Coleco 1970 Grey Cup

Coleco 1972 Canadian Awards

By this time Munro had also gotten into the action with this game based on Canadian rules:

I'd love to add a nice specimen of any of these sets to my game collection.

Radically Canadian!
