Abstract
In a video game apparatus, a first joystick and a second joystick each contain a stick, a game start key and a mode select key. A control circuit controls the video game apparatus in the following manner. In a one-player mode as selected, only the output signal from the joystick whose start key is operated, is supplied to the main frame of the video game apparatus. In a two-player mode as selected, the output signal from the joystick whose start key is operated is supplied to the main frame. In turn, a game is started. With the progression of the game, the output signals from the first and second joysticks are alternately applied to the main frame.
