ABSTRACT:
A spaceship type toy and game is disclosed employing a tube and a generally spherical toy space capsule received by the tube. A fan assembly beneath the spacecraft provided air pressure which, when sufficiently great, causes the space capsule to translate within the tube, thus stimulating space travel over a limited distance. By providing an adjustable electrical power supply to the fan assembly the position of the capsule within the tube can be controlled by the user. A pair of side thrust fans on the spherical toy capsule provide airflow in a horizontal direction to cause rotation of the space capsule about the vertical axis of the tube. In addition, a simulated laser cannon is provided in the space capsule which emits a light beam. A space city screen containing targets partially surrounds the spaceship toy. In use, the user will control the height and rotation of the space capsule and will fire the laser cannon at the targets in the space city screen. The targets include photo sensors which permit the detection of the light from the laser cannon. When the sensors detect light the user will be notified by audible or visual means. In addition, the spaceship toy and game may keep score by counting the number of times targets have been hit.
