Abstract:
A portable simulation game apparatus comprising:a housing having a means for displaying pre-programmed images; a pair of handles supported by said housing and constructed to be gripped by a user; a control means coupled to the display means for controlling and scrolling said pre-programmed images; a three dimensional vehicle movably supported by the housing, wherein the user gripping said handles may slide the three dimensional vehicle across said housing by tilting and moving said game apparatus; a plurality of sensors coupled to the control means and supported by the housing, said plurality of sensors transmit to said control means a relative position of the three dimensional vehicle in relation to the housing and transmit any movement of the three dimensional vehicle in relation to the housing; and the control means receiving said movement and position of the three dimensional vehicle determines the position of the three dimensional vehicle relative to the pre-programmed images on the display means, such that the control means may alter the images on the display means in response to the movement and position of the three dimensional vehicle.
