A multi-axis controlled toy system for moving an amusement object on a variable level table surface. The multi-axis controlled toy system generally includes a recess formed by surrounding perimeter walls for supporting the table surface. A first plurality of pulleys and a second plurality of pulleys are mounted on the perimeter walls. A first line and a second line are wound about the pulleys and around handwheel pulleys rotatably engaged with handwheels. The lines are attached to moving rods perpendicular to each other and extending through a sliding member. The amusement object is attached to the sliding member. The user rotates the handwheels to move the lines and thereby move the moving rods. The motion of the rods generates the motion of the sliding member and amusement object on the table surface.

A viewing instrument has an optical module having a first light pathway for conveying visible light reflected from an object to an eye of a user viewing the object; a thermal radiation detecting module having a thermal radiation detector adapted to detect thermal radiation emitted from the object being viewed to thereby generate one or more signals; an aiming module having at least one visible light-emitting member electrically connected with the thermal radiation detecting module, wherein the aiming module is adapted to receive the one or more generated signals from the thermal radiation detecting module, and in response to the received one or more signals, project a visible mark along the first light pathway to the eye of the user. The invention also provides a toy gun having the viewing instrument as described above.
