ABSTRACT:
A toy simulates an arcade game. A compartment at the top of a box has a transparent bottom and contains game pieces that may be manipulated from a control panel at a front of a box. A mirror in the box reflects the image of the game pieces as seen through the transparent bottom. To play the game, a user looks at the reflection image of the game pieces while he manipulates the controls at the front of the box. Here, the game is a pinball machine in which the transparent bottom has a plurality of upstanding pegs which divert balls into random paths. Any balls which are caught by a manipulation of the controls are diverted into one scoring path. Any balls which are not so caught fall into another scoring path. The invention provides for releasing a selected number of objects at one time to change the required skill level to play. Also, by changing the direction in which the transparent bottom slants, different games maybe provided.
