I got a vibrating football game for Christmas in 1963. I don't recall if was a Tudor game or not. Mine had a larger field than most games and it also had metal ,2D, stadium that could be attached to one side. Rarely used that because it made it hard for 2 people to play. My players were 3D with metal bases. I would put small magnets for weights on the bases to make the players move straighter. The ball was magnetic and the kicker/passer had a trigger like mechanism to propel the ball. I also had a Photo Electric football game. It was basically a box with a light bulb in it that glowed through a transparent plastic thing. You laid your offense play card down and then a defense play card over the transparent thing and then turned the light on and you could see the play result. A really cool game.
And I also had a vibrating baseball game. Metal playing field, magnetic ball & pitching and batting mechanism. Pitch the ball, swing the bat, turn on the motor and the runners move around the base paths. Really fun game.
As I got older, I had APBA football, baseball & basketball. The basketball game was tedious and it took too long to play a game. I played the football and baseball games until I was in my 40's.
