Title: Seat mounted simulated weapon and target shooting game

Abstract: A shooting game includes opposed stations which include a pair, target and gun which are movable as a unit by the player sitting on the chair. A simulated landscape interposed between the players includes a score display. When either player actuates his gun this produces a light flash which is sensed by the photodector type target on the other player's station. A highly animated seat makes a difficult target to hit.
