Abstract
Game apparatus for use with a hand-holdable video game device of the type having a video display screen, at least one depressible control button, and at least one multi-position operating control operative to "play" the video game. The game apparatus includes a housing adapted for support on a generally horizontal support surface and having a recess to receive the video game in predetermined relation. A magnifying lens overlies and magnifies the display screen on the video game. The game apparatus has depressible control knobs and an upstanding joystick operative to selectively actuate the control buttons and multi-position control on the video game, thereby enabling two-handed play of the video game in a manner simulating play of large-scale video games.
