ABSTRACT:
An arcade basketball game which has a transparent enclosure (20) with basketball hoops (40) and a miniature basketball (28) inside. A pair of inclined playing surfaces (30) join together in a peak with transparent vertical barrier (34) on top, allowing the ball to roll to the lowest point where a striker bar (36) impedes its travel. An open space between the bar and the playing surface allow a hand held striker (52) to hit the ball upward at an angle toward the opposite players hoop in an attempt to score a goal. A shot blocker (70) and a pair of tip in hands (78) that are electrically controlled by a joystick (76) and hand switches (86) move in order to help or hinder the flight path of the ball. A game time display (60) indicates elapsed time and a pair of scoreboards (68) denote the scores of each player.
