I've always wanted one of these and this one is the rarer 4-player version:

MAME just doesn't do it justice, you need to play it in the cabinet so you can look down at the screen. Working or not I'd be all over this if I had the room!

Oh man, I would be all over that. I have had a hell of a time trying to find a 2 player. The 4 player is far more desirable, oh well, I will continue to wait patiently.

THAT brings back some memories. I have not seen that game in decades. Buy it if you can. It is a blast to play with your friends. AWESOME find and thanks for sharing.

You just have to prioritize. Kick out your family.

I remember seeing that in the arcade I believe.. good game.

I remember a guy on MN Craigslist had a 2 player version for $500 which I thought was a little high, his ad said "NO LOWBALLERS!" So I didn't want to insult the guy, I sent him an email asking if the price had ANY wiggle room and the response I got was "Go F yourself" that was the closest I got to owning one.

Dude! A bathroom Atari football chamber would be sweeeeeet! I would just hold it and take a dump at work in order to have that! Oh wait, forgot about the family...yeah, there probably not on board

Jeez....nice guy, huh?

Atari Football is cool, but I'd prefer a 4-player Eliminator myself.

Nice! I have never seen an Eliminator around this area (not even a 2 player) but yes, I would jump on a 4 player version if it ever pops up. There is a local guy in my area that nabbed a 4 player demo derby

He's not selling though

That's a great price and in great condition. If it was close to me I'd buy it and sell my 2 player version!

If you are going for a 4 player game, it's all about 4 player warlords! Loved that game!

Warlords is definitely a great game, but like many people, my first (and primary) exposure to Warlords was on the 2600 and that version does the job for me just fine. To me, games like Atari Football and Eliminator are worth owning, because you really need to experience the games via the original machines...even MAME won't cut it. But that's just me.
