Abstract
An electronic game in which each player controls his own moving image on a visual display to change the direction of movement of the image as it advanced on the display. As each player's image moves, changing direction on command, it forms a visual 'barrier' trail on the display of the path traversed. This barrier trail cannot be crossed by the moving image of another player or a 'crash' occurs. A crash of a player's moving image with a barrier trail, generated by movement of his own image or by any of the other player images, or with a fixed barrier surrounding the field of play, eliminates the player from the round. A winner of the game or round results when all but one player has been eliminated.
