Abstract: A game has a housing with a plurality of spaces defined on the exterior of the housing. Each of the spaces has a space input device and space indicator associated with the space, and each space indicator has an off-state and an on-state. Inside of the housing is a controller which communicates with each of the space input devices and space indicators and also with a select input device. The controller is responsive to activation of the select input device followed by activation of a predetermined one of the space input devices for causing the space indicator corresponding to the space selected by the activated space input device to go to the on-state.

Abstract: An electronic game comprising an emitter unit and a target unit. The emitter unit can emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation of a particular wavelength. The target unit has a liquid crystal display and an electromagnetic radiation sensor for measuring the amount of electromagnetic radiation directed at it from the emitter. An electronic controller inside the target unit controls the flow of the game and receives input signals from the radiation sensor which affect the game.
