I also recall a version of these games appearing in the 1981 film Friday the 13th Part II.

Yeah, mine was a hand me down from my brother, I was in the era you're talking about, but I did have one of those metal, vibrating football games bought new.  I didn't think anything would top Tecmo Bowl......until Tecmo Super Bowl arrived on the scene.

Yyyyyyaaaaaasssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!  LOL, scared the shit out of a buncha guys in college when I wound one up by the chord, and bashed it against the door....buttons and plastic bits hittin fools in the face....  .  The lone guy in the room that had known me for years just shrugged and shook his head and grinned.  He had seen it a few too many times.
