Abstract
Methods and systems are described for providing a game system using standard consumer electronics equipment. For example, a system for playing games on a DVD player and other standard consumer electronics equipment transmits commands to a number of player remote units in response to commands from a game being played on the DVD player and other standard consumer electronics equipment. An electronic control mechanism translates the commands from the standard consumer electronics equipment and retransmits them to a number of player remote units. Using those commands, the game proceeds until completed.
