ABSTRACT:
An electronic game apparatus for use with circuitry which position controls a game object on the screen of a cathode-ray tube, such as is used in standard television receivers. The apparatus translates player's position and movement, and in particular a player's hand, to corresponding movement of the game object on the screen. The apparatus is capable of non-tactile sensing of the player's movement and in the preferred embodiment utilizes a field effect transistor with an antenna member coupled to the gate of the transistor, with the player's position and movement relative to the antenna member resulting in corresponding game object movement on the tube screen.
