ABSTRACT:
A handicapping circuit for handicapping electronic visual games is disclosed herein. The handicapping circuit includes a plurality of input NAND gates, connected to a pair of counters. Each counter of the pair is connected to a logic gate. Each of the logic gates is connected to other portions of the game circuit. A first counter of said pair is incremented upon a first player's leading score differential. A second counter of the pair is incremented upon a second player's leading score. The logic gates are activated when either of their respective counters reaches a count of four or eight. The count of four or eight at either counter indicates that one of the players is leading the other player by four points or eight points. The signal received from the NOR gate is channeled to other portions of the game circuit, which increase the size of a paddle image controlled by whichever player is trailing.
