ABSTRACT:
A game which simulates the sights and sounds of vehicles such as automobiles racing on one or more tracks, in which a vehicle is steered to avoid simulated crashing into the oncoming vehicles on the tracks, thus completing one or more laps of the race within a fixed time interval. The game includes an enclosure and a transparent panel which is an inclined front part of the enclosure and is both light transmissive and light reflective. Light is admitted into the enclosure from above. A plurality of movable belts having a horizontal reach are mounted within the enclosure, together with means to move the belts along their reaches. At least one toy vehicle is mounted on each belt, so that the motion of the toy vehicles as the belts move is visible through the inclined transparent panel. Another toy vehicle is disposed below the inclined transparent panel so that its image is reflected from the panel in juxtaposition with the toy vehicles on the belts. The other toy vehicle can be manipulated, so that the image of the other toy vehicle can be moved relative to the moving toy vehicles on the belts. Suitable sensors are provided to correlate the instances of visual coincidence of one of the toy vehicles on a belt with the image of the other toy vehicle. When coincidence occurs the other toy vehicle is driven so its image appears to somersault over the one toy vehicle.
