A video game such as "Space Invaders" or "Asteroids" is played on a broadcast television programme, a player with a receiver 12 remotely controlling the play by telephoned commands which are automatically converted to control signals. The commands may be voice commands converted to control signals by speech recognition arrangement 14 and two or more players can compete in the same game on separate telephone lines. The TV studio may have the usual cameras 16 and monitors 17, the programme being broadcast via transmitter 11. Alternatively, a standard TV game control console may be used, the joystick and push button being connected to a tone generator and the tones being transmitted telephonically to the studio for conversion by a computer into control signals for the TV game. Radio telephone, fixed headline or communications satellites may also be used to carry the commands or tones. <IMAGE> |
