Abstract
A portable electronic target game is disclosed, including a playing field display, scoring displays and two sets of input keys to permit two players to simultaneously control the operation of the game. Each player may launch a projectile toward a moving ball in an effort to intercept it, causing the ball to move forward the opposing player. The ball is removed from play if it is captured by a player or if it lands in a pocket location on the playing field. The scoring includes bonus points and penalties for the various events. The motion of the ball is controlled in a pseudorandom manner in accordance with a predetermined probability matrix.
