ABSTRACT:
An arcade game including a movable object such as a punching bag for a player to repetitively hit or strike during a game. The bag is suspended from a frame structure that is adjustable in height to accommodate differently-sized players. A sensor is positioned to detect when the punching bag swings into a sensed zone and impacts the underside of a support surface. A score is increased each time the punching bag is detected during a predetermined time period. The punching bag is lowered to a playing position during a game and retracted when a game is over so that the punching bag may not be moved between games. An alternate embodiment includes a display screen for displaying visual images such as an opponent that is updated in accordance with the strikes from the player on the punching bag.
