Electrostatically enhanced game

In an electronic game including game signal means for providing a control signal upon the occurrence of a predetermined event in said game, an electrostatic enhancement apparatus for said game, comprising:

• electrostatic generator means operative to generate a high voltage low current electrical charge upon being provided with power;
• electrode means coupled to said generator means for providing said electrical charge to the person of a player;
• control means responsive to said control signal from said game for providing power to said generator means and for causing said generator means to provide said electrical charge to the player;
• electrically grounded discharge arm means mounted for electrical engagement with said electrode means, for grounding and removing charge from said electrode means upon the occurrence of a second control signal;
• and
• player sensor means for detecting whether the player is physically in contact with said electrode means, said sensor means providing said second control signal upon the detection of removal of physical contact by the player with said electrode means,
• whereby upon the occurrence of said predetermined event in said game, a player in physical contact with said electrode will experience a safe high voltage low current static electrical charging, causing the player's hair to raise.
