Abstract
A gaming system for use with a media player and one or more output devices, where the media player is configured to receive user signals, to read and execute information from a game medium, and to present portions of the information on the one or more output devices. The gaming system includes a first remote unit configured to transmit signals corresponding to a first user and a second remote unit configured to transmit signals corresponding to a second user. The gaming system also includes a game medium having information readable by the media player that, when executed, causes the media player to produce a game having a plurality of scenes. Each scene causes the media player to selectively respond to the reception of user signals. A first scene causes the media player either: to respond to the reception of a first signal from the first remote unit by producing a second scene that causes the media player to disregard the reception of signals transmitted by the second remote unit; or to respond to the reception of a second signal from the second remote unit by producing a third scene that causes the media player to disregard the reception of signals transmitted by the first remote unit.
