Abstract:

Electronic game apparatus includes a series of lights that are rapidly and repetitively illuminated in succession to simulate a rapidly moving light. A player has under his control a switch which, when actuated, stops the apparent movement on a particular light. Different packaging schemes provide a variety of ways in which the game can be played either by one or more players. A variable frequency oscillator allows the speed at which the series is illuminated to be varied or adjusted to suit a player's skill and interest and to allow the game to be played as a game of skill or of chance. Alternate embodiments allow either one light at a time to be lit or the series can be completely turned on one at a time. Additionally, the direction in which the lights are illuminated can be either unidirectional or bidirectional. The game apparatus may also include automatic score keeping facilities.
