Abstract: A toy usable as a game effectively simulating an adult game such as tennis, Ping Pong or the like can be constructed so as to utilize a housing having a rectangular opening which is preferably covered by a translucent screen. A light within the interior of the housing simulating the ball in such a game is visible through the screen. The light is mounted upon a member within the housing which is capable of being moved back and forth between different positions adjacent to the ends of the opening. A mechanical drive structure is provided for moving the member between such positions. At least one and preferably a plurality of parts capable of engaging the member so as to hold the member against movement is located in the housing. Such holding parts are movably mounted so as to be capable of being moved from engaging positions in which they are capable of engaging the holding member to non-engaging positions in which they will not engage the member.
