@antonyjohnston @bazscott my brother and I were a bit younger when it started on C4, so we made do with several pairs of socks rolled up as the ball, and playing in the living room. Coin toss decided who got the end zone that was the sofa, and who got the end zone that was “crash into the living room door”.
I think I’ve ended up with a Madden game on every console I’ve ever owned (except on Switch cause EA insist on missing a perfect platform for a start/stop game).
