Abstract

A game comprising a toy gun and an electronic target which registers hits produced by the gun. The gun comprises an electronic flash tube connected to a circuit to produce a high voltage unidirectional supply from a low voltage supply. When the gun trigger is depressed, the flash tube is fired and the resulting light is concentrated to produce a relatively narrow beam of light. As well, an audio signal is produced for each press of the trigger. If the beam of light impinges on the electronic target, an audio-visual signal results to indicate a hit.
