The aim of the invention is to provide a means of restricting the use of a video game device, especially by children, in terms of time. To this end, the invention provides a module (3) that is mechanically connected to a component (1, 2) of the device and is protected against unauthorized removal. Said module comprises a timer (26) that is protected against unauthorized adjustment. Once a variable playing time has ended, the timer interrupts the data stream of at least one device component (2) that is essential to the running of the game. In particular, the mechanical connection between the module and the relevant device component can be configured in such a way that it can only be released using a physical or virtual key. |
