ABSTRACT:
A preschool toy amusement arcade which includes a base frame having a plurality of amusement arcade games thereon. Each of the amusement games are designed so that they are self-contained and include no loose parts. In each of the games, a moving part is tied to some part of the arcade by a flexible connector, or otherwise a moving part is contained within a completely enclosed housing. Thus, the amusement arcade may contain all game features where the moving part is located in an enclosed housing. Otherwise, the arcade may contain one or more game features where the moving part is connected to the arcade by a flexible connector. Game features which utilize a moving part connected to the game by a flexible connector may adopt the form of a simulated gun range where a simulated gun issues a projectile toward a target member located to be contacted by the projectile. The flexible connector is attached to the simulated gun and to the projectile in order to prevent uncontrolled movement of the projectile or the losing of the projectile. The other types of games which employ completely enclosed housings, preferably have a transparent top. In this latter type of game a scoring element, such as a spherical object, can be released from a shooter mechanism for issuing the spherical object toward a form of target device or receiving member. An actuating member may be located exteriorly of the housing in order to actuate the shooter mechanism to thereby propel the spherical object toward the receiving member.
