Abstract
A target game of the type wherein a target image is movingly projected upon a screen for simulated shooting by a gun assembly. The target game generally includes a target projecting assembly for randomly exhibiting a moving target onto the screen and for giving an indication of a successful hit. A gun assembly is movably mounted over the target projecting assembly for selectively exhibiting a hit area on the screen and for causing the target projecting assembly to indicate a hit, along with a drive assembly. The target projecting assembly includes a first projector having a film holder which is movable between a "normal" position wherein a target image is presented for projection and a "hit" position wherein an explosion image is presented for projection. The target projecting assembly also includes a hit actuating member associated with the film holder to move the holder from its normal position to its hit position. The gun assembly includes a second projector for projecting a hit area on the screen and a trigger assembly a portion of which is adapted to engage the hit actuating member when said hit actuating member and trigger portion are aligned and the trigger assembly is depre…
