Abstract
A game utilizes a microprocessor for controlling the play of one or more games in which a participant may play against the machine or against another participant. The game includes a portable housing having a top surface subdivided into a plurality of playing areas, each of which playing areas has two manually operable push buttons, and having a microprocessor within the housing. The microprocessor is located in the housing so as to control the illumination of the push buttons by light sources located below the top surface of the housing and to control the emission of distinct tones by a loudspeaker during the play of the games. Certain of the games require the participant or participants to repeat nonrepetitive and ever lengthening sequence of tones and lights by properly operating the push buttons. Other of the games require the participants to actuate the push buttons as they are illuminated by the microprocessor.
