Abstract
A video game includes a pre-recorded video signal depicting selected objects upon a background; e.g., a race track where the selected objects are colored racing cars, the color being used to distinguish the cars from their background. An associated video game unit with manual player controls generates a manually actuated object and collisions are indicated by sensing the time coincident signals of the selected object and the manually actuated object.
