In my younger years, I can remember frequently visiting my cousin’s house and spending hour upon hour playing various NES titles. The games were vibrant and self-explanatory. Everything was simple back then. Get Mario all the way to the right, or shoot the ducks on the screen; there was never any confusion. One day, I was introduced to a new portable gaming device, a concept I hadn’t even imagined before. My instructions were to guide my quarterback across the football field while circumventing the CPU defense until I reached my team’s end zone. Of course, my thoughts at the time were simply “...what? All I see are little red dots.”

Now, as if touchGrove decided to give me a second chance at my gaming past, LED Football 2 has released on the iPhone with everything you loved (or misunderstood) from the original and more! From the second you launch the App, the rush of nostalgia pours in with old-school beeps, the vintage 80’s feel and those familiar, yet vexatious red lights.

If this is a game you played when you were a kid, then what’s not to love already? Use the six virtual on-screen buttons to control the classic running, juking and kicking and make your way from the left side of the screen all the way to the right, over and over again. For veterans of this time-honored portable tradition, this game of granular gridiron feels just right. (Of course, for the new-agey Halo-esque gamer, I’m sure LED Football hasn’t aged quite as nicely.)
