Abstract
Apparatus operable by the player of a video or electronic game to generate pulses at a rate proportional to the speed of rotation of a rotatable member by closing one of a pair of switches dependent upon the direction of rotation. One of the switches is monitored to determine the direction of rotation. The generated pulses are counted per unit time to provide a velocity signal.
