Abstract

A toy arcade game has a plurality of spaced parallel vertical tracks. A moving object (here a monkey) is mounted on each track to drop under gravity to the bottom of the track. An endless belt drives the object up the track. If a push button is pressed quickly enough, the object drops back to the bottom. It is not pushed quickly enough the object reaches the top of its climb. The object of the game is to push the buttons quickly enough to keep any of the objects from reaching to top of the track.
