ABSTRACT:
A hand-held electronic game of skill. First and second columns of LED's display the positions and movements of the piece indicia of respective first and second players between respective starting and finishing positions. During the first state of a stop/go indicator, the manipulation of either of two player input switches causes the piece indicium displayed on the respective column to advance toward its finishing position. During the second state of the stop/go indicator, the manipulation of either of the two player input switches causes the piece indicium displayed on the respective column to be returned to its starting position. The first and second states of the stop/go indicator are established alternately, and continue for periods the durations of which vary randomly between predetermined minimum and maximum values.
