Abstract

A game unit includes a pair of vertical slots within which a pair of toy vehicle carriages each supporting a toy vehicle are movable. An endless belt is supported beneath each of the carriages and secured thereto. The belt is driven by a reversible motor which in turn responds to an operator button to alternatively move the vehicle downward or stop the vehicle motion at a target point. A plurality of flashing lights and numeric scores are arranged in parallel columns adjacent each slot to identify a target zone within which the vehicle is to be stopped.
