ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic enhancement apparatus for a video arcade or other game, including an electrostatic generator for generating a high voltage low current electrostatic charge, an electrode coupled to the generator for providing the electrostatic charge to a player, and control circuitry responsive to a control signal from the game for actuating the electrostatic generator to provide the electrostatic charge to the player upon the occurrence of a predetermined event in the game. The preferred embodiment includes an isolation booth for surrounding and electrically isolating the player during the electrostatic charging and preventing accidental discharge. Also included is a discharge arm mounted for electrical engagement with the electrode for removing charge from the electrode and the player under certain circumstances.
