ABSTRACT:
A toy pinball game mounted within an appropriate housing has a playing surface and at least one movable object located within the housing movable upon the playing surface. The game includes an object launching member for initially propelling an object across the playing surface. The game is improved by incorporating on the playing surface a target member which is slidably mounted on the playing surface to move from an initial position through a plurality of intermediate positions to a signaling position. Operatively connected to the target member is a target retention apparatus which will retain the target in the initial position or any of the intermediate positions until the target is struck by the object at which time the retention apparatus releases the target member from the initial position allowing it to slide into the first of the intermediate positions. Subsequent striking of the target member by the object releases the target member to the next intermediate position and finally from the last intermediate position to the signaling position. A plurality of target members can be used which are operatively associated with each other such that when all of the target members are in their signaling position a signaling member is activated emitting a signal to the player of the game informing the player that he has successfully moved the target member from the initial position to the signalling position.
