Classic Football by Mattel Electronics is a replica made in 2000 of the Football handheld electronic game originally made in 1977. The screen uses red blips to represent players. The goal is to move the ball down field while avoiding the opposing teams players in order to score a touchdown. This game was hugely popular when it originally came out and is still held in high regard by many.

There are only a few differences between the 2000 replica and the original 1977 model. Notably the 2000 model has the words Classic Football where it originally said Mattel Electronics, And the word Football was replaced with the word Mattel under the image of the football player. The original also ran on one 9volt battery, the replica requires two AA batteries. The last significant difference is the addition of a Sound on/off switch located above the directional buttons.
