Then, the time gauge displayed on the image display means is sequentially turned off, and the player can obtain a score by operating the effect operation means while the time gauge is on.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an external view of a game machine used in the present invention. In FIG. 1, an image display unit 2 for displaying a production procedure in time with music is provided on the front of a game machine 1.
And a plurality of operation buttons 3 which are effect operation means by the player. The operation buttons 3 are provided for two players on the left and right, and “P-1” for one play and “P-1” for two play are displayed above each operation button.
A player button 4 displaying "-2" is provided.
A game start button 5 is provided at the center of the front of the game machine 1, and the start button 5 also serves as a bonus point display section during the progress of the game.
The image display section is constituted by a liquid crystal screen, and a power button 21 and a clear button 22 are provided on the right side thereof.

FIGS. 2 to 5 are diagrams showing display blocks on a liquid crystal screen. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing all display blocks displayed on the display unit. FIG. 3 shows the display unit during the progress of the game, and the number displayed on the display unit shows a time gauge of a plurality of blocks representing the remaining time of the predetermined time. As shown in FIG. 4, the remaining time is long, that is, the higher the number of displayed operation buttons, the higher the score. When the time gauges are sequentially turned off and all the time gauges and numbers in one direction are turned off, the time expires and no points are obtained. Also, 4
Music data and game data are stored, and the player can select music and its tempo in advance.

As shown in FIG. 5, there is a star-shaped block in the center of the display section. When this block is lit, the operation buttons and the start button of the numbers displayed earlier than the other party are put together. When pressed, the “GET!” Block lights up, and double bonus score is added.

FIGS. 6 and 7 are flow charts of a game in one embodiment of the present invention. 6 and 7, when the power button of the apparatus is pressed and the power is turned on, the process proceeds to step 10. In step 10, "P-1"
It is determined whether or not any of the player buttons of “P-2” has been pressed, and if not pressed, it stands by. When the operation button is pressed, the process proceeds to step 11. In step 11,
It is determined whether or not music has been selected with the operation buttons of the player 1, and if not, the process waits. When music is selected, the process proceeds to step 12. In step 12, it is determined whether or not the music tempo has been selected with the operation button on the player 2 side. When the melody tempo is selected, the process proceeds to step S13. In step 13, the high score of the player of the selected number is displayed on the display unit, and then the process proceeds to step 14.

In step 14, it is determined whether or not the start button has been pressed, and if not, the process waits. When the star and the button are pressed, the process proceeds to step 15. In step 15, the selected music is output from the audio output unit,
Proceed to step 16. In step 16, a one-way or two-way number and a time gauge are randomly displayed from the display block of the display unit in time with the music. Then step 17
Proceed to.

In step 17, it is determined whether or not the operation button of the number displayed on the display unit has been pressed. If the operation button has not been pressed, the process proceeds to step 18 and the display block of the time gauge indicating the remaining time is sequentially turned off and on every predetermined time from the inside. Then, the process proceeds to step 19. In step 19, it is determined whether the remaining time is 0 and all the numbers and the time gauge are turned off. If not, the process returns to step 16. When all the lights are turned off, the process proceeds to step 20 and the score is not added, and the process proceeds to step 22.

If it is determined in step 17 that the displayed operation button is pressed, the flow advances to step 21.
In step 21, a score according to the displayed time gauge indicating the remaining time is added. When the star-shaped bonus point in the center of the display is lit, pressing the start button together with the operation button of the displayed number doubles the score added. Bonus points are given only to the player who pressed first, and the display block of “GET!” Is lit on the player side obtained by the display unit. Then, the process proceeds to step 22.

In step 22, it is determined whether or not the music from the audio output unit has ended, and if not, the process returns to step 16 to continue the game. When the game ends, the game ends.

[0022]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

According to the present invention, the time gauge, which is a production procedure, is randomly lit on the image display unit, and a high score can be obtained by operating the production operation means corresponding to the moment when the time gauge is turned on. Even if the lights are turned off, the score can be obtained as long as the lit time gauge exists, so a player with good reflexes can get a high score, and a player with no reflexes can get a low score. Unlike a music production game machine, even a young player can enjoy a game in time with music.

Further, according to the present invention, the operability of the game can be enhanced by setting the layout of the image display unit for displaying the rendering procedure and the rendering operation means by the player to be the same.

According to the present invention, by providing a time gauge on the image display unit, the sense of speed and the game quality can be improved.

Further, according to the present invention, when two players play, they can compete with each other's reflexes, and when the bonus point display section is operated, the fingers of the players touch each other to enjoy the game. Can be doubled.
