4. NFL Deluxe Electric Football Game
Speaking of nostalgia, here is a super-fun old-school football game with a modern twist.

You can also use the app for tournament play. The game has been upgrade with players who wear rubber “cleats” that let you control their direction and speed on the upgraded metal turf. Hopefully it will stop the player from going in circles like when I was a kid.
