ABSTRACT:
A target game to be utilized in conjunction with a television receiver includes a simulated firearm with light sensing device, sighting elements and a trigger mechanism so that a signal will be generated by the light sensing device when the firearm is aligned with a light image. In addition, there is provided a control assembly which includes a hit evaluating circuit. The signal generated in the light sensing device is coextensive in duration with the duration of the sensed light image, and the hit evaluating circuit includes a time comparing circuit for comparing the duration of the signal from the sensed light image with a predetermined interval. When the sensed light image signal duration is within the predetermined interval, a hit signal is generated. Desirably, the light sensing device includes an optical lens system for focusing light rays from the target image onto a photosensitive transistor.
