ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an electronic maze game apparatus. The basic invention comprises a display board, optical discrete display elements (such as LCDs or LEDs) forming a grid on the display board, and electronic control for the selective display of the optical display elements so that a maze pattern is displayed and made visible on the display board. The maze pattern may be solved by the user directing a position marker through the maze, through control panel inputs. Information defining a multiplicity of maze patterns may be stored in a memory, and any of these patterns may be displayed, as directed by the user.
