There may have been an electric version but I don't remember it. I have vivid memories of the "thousands of pieces" football game you describe, though! They were still popular when I was a child in the 70's. The electric baseball game from 1942... well, you're not going to believe this, but I found it, so I'll be putting it up on tomorrow's post!Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-89501326639212136972012-10-11T14:52:45.239-05:002012-10-11T14:52:45.239-05:00So how does this one actually work then?

I could see the combo, cause the vibrating would just make them go all random, but vibrating with flippers, you could maybe kinda guide them. I think I saw a hockey one that was a sorta combo type, unless I am remembering incorrectly.MarvelX42https://www.blogger.com/profile/00537462072422407770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-42382690326142124912012-10-11T10:50:29.465-05:002012-10-11T10:50:29.465-05:00I saw a few games called "electric baseball&q...I saw a few games called "electric baseball" that were made in 1942, and I think the illustration indeed got it wrong. The one I saw had an actual pinball flipper shaped like a baseball bat.Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-83522064971707647472012-10-11T05:01:34.441-05:002012-10-11T05:01:34.441-05:00I am going to take a stab at the electric baseball...I am going to take a stab at the electric baseball game thing and say that this is probably just a case of the picture on the box not quite matching what the actual game looked like. I further think that this was probably onea those games like the football game where you had little dudes kinda like army men that you sat on the board and that the board vibrated and the little guys just sorta moved around abit and fell over. I think that the pictures for the comic and the cover of the box the game came in were maybe even done before the game was even made. This is of course all just WAGing, but there ya go and there ya are.MarvelX42https://www.blogger.com/profile/00537462072422407770noreply@blogger.com
