Abstract
A shooting game machine features that movable members are hit so as to be prevented from reaching a goal, and comprises a plurality of lanes having a starting point and a turning point at both ends, a plurality of movable members moving from the starting point to the goal via the turning point. Each movable member has a hit indicator, adapted to be operated by the player, and movable member controller for returning the hit movable member to the starting point. The distance between the starting point and the turning point is gradually shortened each time the movable member reaches the turning point so as to make the shooting game more difficult.
