The answer

Electronic games that contain non-corporeal images, not resembling statues, and whose images disappear when the device is turned off, have been deemed permissible by some scholars if they serve a benefit, especially for pre-pubescent children. As for the game "Babyfoot," scholars have ruled it impermissible due to its inclusion of corporeal images, although some scholars permit images whose features are unclear, or if the image is subject to disrespect, or if it is not erected for the purpose of veneration.
