'Jimmy'

1980

From BoardGameGeek

Another failed attempt by Waddingtons, to get into the electronic board game market. The pitch has several holes in it at strategic points. If the ball rolls into one of your holes, you press a button behind the goal and the ball is 'pinged' out of the hole and into another hole. You hope to keep possession and eventually shoot into the opponent's goal. It had sound effects and an electronic score board but, as a game, it is almost entirely devoid of skill. You just press buttons.
