I remember this as being the first one to make it big. I think the
other manufacturers are knock-offs (coleco, RS, etc.).

There were actually two 'versions' made. The original one is white and
is called 'Mattel Electronic Football'. The name was changed later to
'Mattel Electronic Football I' because Mattel added a second game
'Mattel Electronic Football II'. Football II has a green case and has 2
players on offense, a QB and a WR. It allows you to pass. I have both
of these. I also have 'Mattel Electronic Basketball II' (orange
color). (Again an improvement over BBI in that you have a partner and
can do 3pt shots).

I also remember seeing advertisements for other Mattel games such as
hockey, soccer, and a type of car racing game. I might still have the
flyer in the original boxes.
