A microcomputer controlled game apparatus utilizes a microcomputer for controlling the play of one or more games a participant may play against the machine or against another participant. The device includes a housing having a playing surface with a plurality of light emitting elements arranged across the surface including one or more elements associated with each player. The light emitting elements are conveniently covered by a translucent screen bearing insect or other indicia which is illuminated when the underlying light emitting element is actuated. The light emitting elements are sequentially actuated in an apparently random path by the microcomputer located within the housing. When a player\s light emitting element is illuminated, the player has a predetermined time to actuate a manually actuable switch. The microcomputer records the player\s success in actuating the switch within the predetermined time of illumination of the selected light emitting element and then controls the rate of sequential actuation of the light emitting element in response to the player\s success or lack of success.
