ABSTRACT:
A hand held electronic game for baseball or the like having a playing field with illuminatable segments thereon at positions generally corresponding to potential player positions. One group of segments defines the path of a player object such as a ball which when "impacted" in response to a correctly timed manual input illuminates one of another group of segments. The "player" is advanced in response to another manual input a distance determined by the segment so illuminated. Game control and game status is under control of a processor using probabilities to determine game events. In the embodiment illustrated, the game is in the form of a baseball game with the segment depicted on a baseball diamond.
