ABSTRACT:
A game machine includes a number of movable assemblies, a storing portion for storing the movable assemblies and a mechanism for reciprocating the movable assemblies between a home position inside the storing portion and a turning position outside the storing portion. Each of the movable assemblies is in the form of an animal and includes a pair of members simulating respective jaws of the animal. One of the jaw members is povitally supported relative to the other for simulating opening and closing a mouth of the animal and a mechanism applies a biasing force for pivoting the first mentioned jaw member away from the other jaw member thereby to simulate opening of the mouth. The first mentioned jaw member by external application of force thereto is pivotably toward the other jaw member against the biasing force, whereby the open mouth is closed when the player hits the first mentioned jaw member by a hammer brought down by the player in a direction transversely intersecting the moving direction of the assembly. A hitting sensor detects closing of the mouth effected by the aforementioned hitting and thereupon effects registration of a score and returning of the assembly to the home position.
