Abstract: A game table comprises first and second substantially parallel player sides extending along a length direction, first and second substantially parallel goal sides extending along a width direction and a game playing surface defined within the player and goal sides. The game table includes at least one pivoting handle assembly connected to the game table via a pivot connection. The handle assembly includes at least one turning rod carrying at least one player member, and a handle engaged with the turning rod whereby turning the handle operates to rotate the player to strike a playing piece. The handle assembly is configured to pivot about the pivot connection above the game playing surface in a pivot plane substantially parallel to the game playing surface.

Abstract: The game apparatus has: a rotating bin containing at least one game piece; a moveable claw for grabbing the at least one game piece; a catapult for launching the at least one game piece; and a target area for receiving the at least one game piece; wherein the moveable claw places the at least one game piece on the catapult, and wherein the catapult launches the at least one game piece at the target area. The method of playing the game having a plurality of game pieces and having a target area, has the steps of: selecting at least one of the game pieces at a first location; moving the selected game piece to a second location; and catapulting the at least one of the game pieces from the second location toward a target area. The step of selecting may have the steps of rotating a plurality of game pieces, selectively stopping rotation of the plurality of game pieces, and picking up at least one of the game pieces.

Abstract: The present invention provides a simulated baseball game apparatus. The game is played generally in accordance with the rules of actual baseball. The apparatus resembles a baseball field and is designed to be played by at least two players. An offensive player attempts to the hit the ball using a batting mechanism, while a defensive player pitches and fields the ball using pitching and fielding mechanisms, respectively.

Abstract: The game apparatus has a gamepiece aiming device having a plurality of degrees of movement that allows a player to have better aiming capability. The game apparatus features a multi-playfield game having at least first and second playfields that are coupled to one another. The gamepiece aiming device emits a gamepiece into the first playfield for first game play, the gamepiece thereafter being conducted to the second playfield for second game play. The gamepiece aiming device has a first degree of movement that is a substantially linear movement, and a second degree of movement that is a substantially rotational movement. In general, the playfield has a plurality of playfields and a plurality of levels, at least one respective playfield being in each level of the plurality of levels. Each playfield has a win/lose scenario, and the win/lose scenarios are independent of one another. Redemption tickets can be dispensed based on results of the win/lose scenarios.
