ABSTRACT:
An electronic football game has a housing on which are provided a central simulated playing field and a separate control panel on each of two sides of the simulated playing field. In each control panel are provided two vertically elongated levers, each of which is operable to selectively operate four switches that direct the movements of a set of play symbols associated with the lever. Operation of one of the levers moves a plurality of concurrently movable play symbols as a group, but if one of the concurrently movable play symbols is directed into a boundary or another offensive play symbol, the move of that player is prevented while the moves of the other concurrently movable symbols are carried out. Upon a subsequent directed move that is not beyond a boundary or to the position of another offensive play symbol, the moves of all of the concurrently movable plurality are effected, and the new formation resulting from the earlier prevented move is thereby maintained.
