Abstract (en)

[origin: US5857912A] PCT No. PCT/DE95/00527 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 5, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 5, 1996 PCT Filed Apr. 15, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/30872 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 16, 1995The subject matter of the invention is a system allowing play on several games machines, in particular coin-operated machines, set up remotely from each other. The system comprises at least two games machines (2A, 2B) set up in different locations (A, B) and connected by a bi-directional connecting line (14). The games machines (2A, 2B) each have a target face (62) where the darts land and a device for detecting and displaying the position of a "hit" on the target face. The system also includes computers (6A, 6B) for processing, evaluating and transmitting data. A number of transmitter and receiver units are mounted outside the target face (62); their connecting paths across the target face (62, 70) form a raster and are intersected by darts landing on the target face. The raster is provided with co-ordinates, and data on the co-ordinate values of points at which the darts strike can be transmitted to another games machine for hit location and display.
