ABSTRACT:
A game including a tiltable table, a control stick and table deflection linkage coupled between the control stick and the table for permitting a player to guide the movement of a ball over the surface of the table. The table is supported about its center of gravity by a pivot mount. The table deflection linkage is connected to the periphery of the table to permit the player to controllably tilt the table to guide the ball to a plurality of targets while avoiding a plurality of hazards. The targets may simulate "planets" and the hazards may be holes, or "black holes". A centrally located target is the "sun", and it is surrounded by other targets. All the targets may be illuminated, and circuitry is provided so that the illumination of the central "sun" target is altered only after the ball contacts the targets surrounding the "sun" target. An electronic circuit is provided to indicate the score to the player and to control various game functions.
