ABSTRACT:
An electronic toy having a game function preferably includes a single display having a figure displaying region and a numerical value displaying region. A game mode is established upon operation of a game start switch. The figure displaying region includes an arrangement of a plurality of figure displaying segments and a predetermined one or a certain number of segments out of the plurality of segments is selectively activated for a display responsive to an operation of a game operation switch in the game mode, whereby a figure representation on the display is changeable in response to the operation of the game operation switch. A score counter evaluates a score of the game in response to the change of the figure representation. Upon operation of the game start switch, the content in the score counter is displayed by the numerical value displaying region. Current time information obtained from a timepiece apparatus may be displayed by the numerical value displaying region; however, upon operation of the game start switch, the numerical value displaying region is switched to display the score of the game, as described above. The movement of apparatus controlled symbols along any one of a plurality of paths is controlled in a manner substantially unknown or unpredictable by the player.
