Ah that Mattel football game picture brings back memories. I used to play one of those every time I could talk someone at my grade school into letting me play with theirs. (I couldn't afford one myself.) And there was baseball, racing, etc also. In fact, I believe someone put together a really neat emulator for those old Mattel games that probably runs on both Palm and PPC.
I also played bop-it (still have one as a matter of fact, but you always have to start back at the beginning so that landed it in the closet), and simon, and electronic battleship. And have been addicted to bejeweled for a time like everyone else.
Played a version of tetris until it got annoyingly repetitious. And loved donkey kong, but it was on an old atari game box that my sister had, but that wasn't a mobile game. Still kind of wish I had one of those game boxes and the old games. Those were the good old days of Donkey Kong and Defender and Joust and all those games that were understandable, but you could play them over and over and keep getting better.
