A tabletop hockey game. Slots were cut so your player could "skate" and then you turned the spindle to make them "shoot". Got it back when there were only the six original teams. Hundreds of hours spent playing this. Had it for probably close to 50 years before giving it to neighbor kids in Texas. They had no idea what it was, but once they learned they loved it.

For real violence though, nothing could beat the Rock-em Sock-em robots game. Two players each controlled one of a pair of boxing robots, with the object of knocking the other one's head off.
Good times.
Dad gave me mercury to play with about '65. Greatest Christmas ever. We'd sit for hours rolling it around our hands.

That tabletop hockey was also one of my favs, but am surprized about all the mentions of an electric football game if it was the same game that I had. Mine vibrated to move the players and many of them just went in circles; very disappointing.
