Presenting the most perverse (and brilliant) use of modern technology…
…in that it perfectly simulates ridiculously outdated technology.
Granted, if you weren’t a kid in the late ’70s or early ’80s, you probably aren’t interested in LED Football for the iPhone. But I had one of those old Mattel LED football games and, for some reason, I loved it. And I also love the developer’s sense of humor in the game description*:
Reach the end zone and you will hear the sweet sound of victory beeps. TOUCHDOWN! This is electronic sports at its best…. See the LED display, so bright and hi-tech.
*But I do not love the fact that iTunes doesn’t let you copy and paste description text. Boo!

Best game ever… I used to play that for hours and my grandparents’ house.

Well the funniest thing about having had one of these as a kid was that I was completely indifferent to real football as a kid (and am only slightly less so now).
