Abstract (en)
A microprocessor based electronic game device has a central unit with a digital display (28, 29) and several remote units (2) for the players. Any of several games to play can be selected by controls (7-10) on the central unit. Further controls (11-26) serve for inputting other instructions and/or information to the unit. Information relating to or forming part of a game can be displayed on the digital display (28, 29) Other information such as scores or score totals can also be displayed. The device is self-contained, not requiring connection to an external television set. In one game the digital display is arranged to generate letter symbols. The digital display can be provided by 7-segment display cells and may be arranged, in one game, to generate certain letter symbols and in another game to generate dice representations.
