Abstract
A pinball game apparatus is disclosed that has a housing in which a sloping playing surface is suitably supported. On the playing surface targets are provided and at least one is movable and coupled to an electric switch. If the player is successful in hitting the movable target, the switch actuated thereby turns on a film projector, which projects an image onto a matte pane screen located in the playing surface. A stepper motor is provided to control the projector so that each time the movable target is struck, a new image is projected upon the matte pane screen.
