The Evolution of Football Video Games

Posted: September 19, 2008 in Sports, Technology

I began to write a blog about how far football video games have come since I played my first “Football” game on the Atari 2600 almost 30 years ago! While looking for screen shots I found out that the guys at gamespot.com had already done an incredible job on the History of Football Games. I know this may not interest some of you, but for those of us whose lives have been radically altered by these games, may you enjoy the nostalgia. So I’ll leave with screen shots of both the first and last football video game that I owned.
