Abstract An electronic amusement game is provided having a wall-mounted display panel. Such wall-mounted display panel may be selectively illuminated to provide animation for the amusement game. Remote control means including a coin transmitter and a play transmitter are radio coupled to receiver and control circuit means. The remote control means are actuated by insertion of coins and by actuation of the play transmitter. Actuation of the play transmitter two consecutive times energizes the receiver and control circuit means to show on the display panel the position of a simulated object in a target area. The length of time between the two actuations determines the exact final location of the simulated object. Such receiver and control circuit means also provide a score indication and terminate the game after a certain score has been attained.
In an electric amusement game, the combination of a display panel disposed for view by the players; a player actuation means; first circuit means coupled to said player actuation means to detect and store an indication corresponding to a player actuated time duration; second circuit means coupled to said display panel and said player actuation means, said second circuit means being selectively operable to initiate an animation sequence on said display panel in response to termination of said player actuated time duration; and third third circuit means connected to said first circuit means and coupled to said display panel, said third circuit means being operative to modify said animation sequence in accordance with the stored indication.

In an electric amusement game, the combination of a display panel disposed for view by the players; a player actuation means; first circuit means coupled to said player actuation means to detect and store an indication corresponding to a player actuated time duration; second circuit means coupled to said display panel and said player actuation means, said second circuit means being selectively operable to initiate an animation sequence on said display panel in response to termination of said player actuated time duration; and third third circuit means connected to said first circuit means and coupled to said display panel, said third circuit means being operative to modify said animation sequence in accordance with the stored indication.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
An electric amusement game according to claim 1 wherein said animation sequence simulates the throw of an object toward a target area on said display panel and wherein said third circuit means modifies said animation sequence by selecting the final position for said object in said target area according to the stored indication.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
An electric amusement game according to claim 2 wherein said simulated thrown object is a simulated dart thrown toward a target.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
An electric amusement game according to claim 1 further including a transmitter-receiver system for coupling said player actuation means to said first and second circuit means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
An electric amusement game according to claim 1 further including coin receiving operatively connected to couple said player actuation means to said first and second circuit means only after coins of the proper monetary value have been deposited.
