ABSTRACT:
A pinball-type game includes a housing having a playing surface located within the interior of the housing and a spirally winding object guide channel depressed in this playing surface. The channel includes a launching end and a target end at its opposite ends. The channel is sized to allow one of a plurality of objects located within the housing to move within the confines of the channel. An object launcher is located at the launching end of the channel and is capable of launching an object into the channel so as to cause the object to travel within the channel along a spiral pathway until it reaches the target end of the channel. A target is located at the target end of the channel. The target being of the type wherein it is capable of capturing the object only for a finite period of time. The target is under control of a target activation member which activates the target for the finite period of time and if an object successfully traverses the channel and arrives at the target during this finite period of time the object can be successfully captured by the target. If the object does not arrive at the proper time the object is not captured by the target.
