ABSTRACT:
A game machine which can be played by two or more players includes an elongated box-like housing in which a game ball can be inserted, the housing including elongated side members with transparent viewing windows therein and opposed end members with openings in their upper portions through which the game ball can be projected to achieve a score. The housing also includes at least three transversely extending flooring panels stationarily mounted in spaced apart fashion between the housing end members, the upper portions of these flooring panels forming separated segments of a playing deck surface for the game ball. Two projector elements which are operable by respective competing game players are positioned at respective opposite ends of the housing, each projector element including a transversely extending curved head portion which not only forms a segment of the playing deck surface between the adjacent housing end member and the nearest flooring panel, but which, when the associated portion of the projector element located outside the housing is manually operated, can also be moved to project a game ball therein towards the opposite housing end member. At least two activator elements which are operable by competing game players are positioned in the housing between the projector elements, each activator element including a transversely extending contact element which not only forms a segment of the playing deck surface between adjacent flooring panels, but which, when the associated portion of the activator element located outside the housing is manually operated, is rotatable about an axis extending transversely to the housing to contact and move a game ball in a desired fashion within the housing.
