ABSTRACT:
An electronic game device is disclosed that can simultaneously engage at least two players each at a user position arranged on opposite ends or sides of a display device so that the players are facing each other. At each user position there are hand controls such as buttons, joystick, etc., and foot controls such as a footpad having electronic switches formed therein. A controller is connected to the hand controls and foot controls at each user position and to the display device. User actuation of the hand controls produces first game control signals and user actuation of the foot controls produces second game control signals. The controller is responsive to the first game control signals and the second game control signals to generate display control signals coupled to the display device to change the display of game characters and/or objects associated with a game. In addition, the controller may generate audio control signals that are supplied to a speaker.
