Abstract
A remote control system for a video computer game having a portable controller unit with transmitter circuits responsive to manipulation of a joy stick for generating RF signals indicative of such manipulations. A reset switch and a game select switch is also provided for generating signals which are also sent as RF signals. A central receiver receives the RF signals from the portable controller unit and converts the manipulation signals into signals applicable to control the video game. The reset signal and the game select signal are sent to an actuator unit which is physically mounted onto the master control center and includes mechanical actuator mechanisms to mechanically engage the reset and game selector buttons on the master control center. The central receiver also includes detection elements to prevent random signals from disturbing the game during such time periods when it is not receiving signals from the transmitter controllers.
