Computer Football: Scrimmage
Out Of Stock
Description
A smaller format version of the earlier 'computer' sports games by Electronic Data Controls Corporation (EDC). Instead of the circuitry and buttons being placed inside an oversized table-filling board, Scrimmage used a small plastic board and console. The players are in control of competing football teams. The simple circuitry inside the game board helps determine the results of each play: yards lost or gained, interceptions, fumbles, etc.EDC released a series of electronic board games under their 'Computer Games' line, primarily consisting of two-player sports games. The series of games released in the late sixties used large wooden game boards depicting the playing field and a game matrix of various results. Each end of the game board had a set of buttons (i.e. offense and defense) that, depending on the combination pressed, would cause a light to illuminate next to one of the rows on the game matrix. The players would then consult the appropriate column to find out what happened. Scrimmage used a much smaller plastic gameboard which wasn't much larger than the size of the matrix. - BoardGameGeek
