ABSTRACT:
A pocket-calculator type electronic game is described for playing Tic-Tack-Toe. The game includes a keyboard having a 3-by-3 matrix of keys each of which may be depressed once to input an "O", and twice to input an "X"; a matrix display for displaying the inputted O's and X's; a mode selector for selectively operating the device according to either a Continuous-Display Mode (wherein the inputted indications are continuously displayed), or a Suppressed-Display Mode (wherein the inputted indications are displayed only when a complete line of one of the indications has been inputted); and a "Tilt" indicator energized whenever a player depresses a key which had previously been depressed in the same game. The latter two features introduce a memory factor in playing the game.
