Tomy Super Cup Football

[Junker]

I’ve been clearing out my mum’s loft this summer and found this beauty. 
 It didn’t work initially but I took it to bits the other day in a Hail Mary attempt to get it working and after a bit of fiddling and soldering I’ve got it up and running again.

 It’s an absolutely fantastic game, and the internals are a work of art.

 I see a few on eBay and there’s a handful of YouTube videos but it doesn’t seem to have much of a culture of nostalgia for it.

 Anyone else have / had one?

Yeah I had this. Amazing game - didn't half make a racket though!

I believe it's just a repackage of an electronic ice hockey game which makes a lot of sense when you look at it.

I didn’t know that! The mechanisms to control the players are incredible to look at. Whilst having it in bits and it fall apart as It took the top section off, having to rebuild it gave me a real appreciation of the design.

I'm pretty sure it's this game just converted for the UK market - I think this one came first. When you look at it the mechanics do make more sense for ice hockey but it works well as a football game as well.

I remember these. I always wanted one but never got it.

 

Did anyone here ever have the occasional Toy Day at their primary school? No lessons or anything, just everyone bringing in their favourite toys for everyone else to play with. That's when I finally got to play on one properly.

What a gem. I loved how it automated the corners and free kicks, by popping  the ball back in to play when it fell in to a ‘pocket’.
