  • Patent number: 4082437
    Abstract: A game simulating a sport such as football employs film sequences of plays of an actual game, using cassettes of film of equal length regularly disposed sequences. A sequence selecting apparatus and projector projects a given sequence determined by the selection of cassettes by one player and selection of sequence by another player. The apparatus employs a take-up reel upon which the film is wound before play to align the beginning of a sequence with an optical projection system, and spiral groove control device coupled to the reel for controlling the rotation of the reel to effect the projection of a single sequence. The optical system projects through apertures in the film cassette, and the shutter is operated by a sprocket coupled to the film.
