Abstract

Apparatus is disclosed for playing a game in which a player representative unit has the opportunity to perform simulated tasks. The apparatus is arranged to present one or more advertising sequences of video pictures advertising goods or services other than to play the game. The advertisements may with advantage relate in some way to the game and can be presented as a part of the environment in which the player representative unit performs the simulated tasks.
