ABSTRACT:
A plurality of lights arranged in either a single column or plural columns is actuated by control circuits so that a single light at a time is first turned on and then off. This on-off action is done in succession between adjacent lights to give the appearance of a moving light or light streak. The game is operable in either of two modes, a single player mode and an opposing player mode. For opposing players, each one actuates his own control switch or switches to reverse the direction of apparent movement of lights and the object is to actuate the switches so as to reverse the direction in which the light appears to be moving before it reaches a predetermined position, e.g., an end light. If an end light is turned on, one player may score. A reset switch allows the game to continue. For a single player, the light streaks from one end towards the other end and then back and the player has to actuate a control switch before the light streaks completely back, in order to keep the light streak in motion. The speed of the streak can be varied.
