Abstract
A drive game device is provided with a steering wheel that controls the apparent movement of a model vehicle. The model vehicle is pivotally mounted on a vertical axis running through on a screen. A transparent running sheet is movably mounted above the screen. A light source is mounted above the transparent running sheet for projecting an image on the screen corresponding to a portion of a pattern on the transparent running sheet. A longitudinal drive power transmission transmits power from an electric motor to said transparent running sheet so that said transparent running sheet will selectively be driven to longitudinally move forward or backward, in accordance with the operating position of a gear shift lever and a direction of the steering wheel. A crosswise drive power transmission transmits the power from the electric motor to the light source so that the light source will transversely travel in the crosswise direction of the transparent running sheet in accordance with an amount of steering operation of the steering wheel.
