Abstract

A basketball game including two hoops and a backboard that is adapted to be mounted indoors on an interior structure, such as a door. Deflectable paddles detect the passage of balls through the hoop. Each score (passage of a ball through a hoop) generates a reproduced human voice announcement. A microprocessor registers each score and keeps track of the differential between the number of balls passing through each respective hoop. The score differential is displayed along a row of light emitting diodes. The first player to achieve a four hoop differential in his favor is the winner. Two players may compete against each other, or one player may compete against himself. In one player mode, the microprocessor registers random scores for the machine. The frequency of machine scores depends upon the skill level selected by the player.
