Description

  The present invention relates to a game control method, a storage medium storing a program that can execute the method, and a server.

  Conventionally, as a game control method in which an operation character that can be used for game play in a game in a player is grown, and the inferior value of superiority or inferiority based on the result of the battle between the grown characters is presented to the game player Uses a backup data obtained as a result of character training on the first game device, and plays a battle game with another type of second game device having a processing capability superior to that of the first game device. What uses backup data between different types of game devices such as enjoyment is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The most famous of these is “Pocket Monster” (software product name), which uses the above-mentioned software on a portable game machine “GAME BOY” (product name) to capture multiple monster characters and has the ability. The game is to be brought up and enjoyed by using a home game device “NINTENDO 64” (product name) to capture another game player with other software and to play a battle game with the monster character that has been raised. And in the said game control method, the play which trades the captured and raised monster character with the monster character of another game player can also be performed.

An operation character that is nurtured and played in the game based on the game control method as described above is not an electronic game, but in a trading card game, it may be drawn and printed on the surface of the card as a battle character. As examples of trading card games, “Magic Gatherin”, “Yu-Gi-Oh”, etc. have been booming in recent years. In such a trading card game, a battle in a card game is performed, and trading cards are traded according to the battle result.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the game apparatus 10, 50, 60 or 70.

  In the case of the personal computer 10, a game program stored in a CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) (not shown) is read and executed as appropriate by driving the CD-ROM drive 35. Further, in the case of the game dedicated device 50, the portable game device 60 or the mobile phone 70, the CD-ROM drive 35 and the drive interface 23 (hereinafter referred to as drive I / F) are not provided, and the ROM ( It is assumed that a game program stored in a read only memory (RAM) 14, a random access memory (RAM) 16 or a non-volatile RAM 18 is appropriately read and executed.

  Note that the game program stored in the above-described CD-ROM, ROM 14, RAM 16, or nonvolatile RAM 18 includes a game progress processing subroutine shown in FIG.

  In the game device 10, 50, 60 or 70 shown in FIG. 2, a control means 12, a ROM 14, a RAM 16, and a nonvolatile RAM 18 are connected to the bus line 30, and the control means 12 is a ROM 14, a RAM 16. Alternatively, each unit is controlled according to a program stored in the nonvolatile RAM 18.

  Further, a keyboard 32, a mouse 33 and a game controller 34 are connected to the bus line 30 via an input interface 22, and information is transmitted between the drive interface 23, the display circuit 24, the sound processing circuit 25, and the public telephone network 2. Is connected to the communication interface 21.

  Further, a timer 20 for measuring the game execution time is also connected to the bus line 30. When a signal for starting the timer is issued from the control means 12, the timer 20 initializes the timer value and starts counting the timer value. When a signal for stopping the timer is issued from the control means 12, the timer 20 stops counting the timer value and supplies the timer value at that time to the bus line 30.

  A CD-ROM drive 35 connected to the bus line 30 via the drive interface 23 can read a game program from the CD-ROM and supply it to the control means 12.

  In the following, the game apparatus 10, 50, 60 or 70 is activated in advance, and the variables used in the control means 66 described above are initialized to predetermined values, and the game apparatus 10, 50, 60 or 70 is initialized. Is assumed to be in steady operation.

  Next, details of a game in which a battle game is performed and operation characters are traded using the game apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a hardware block diagram showing a detailed hardware configuration of the game apparatus 60.

  The game apparatus 60 includes a game input means 30 including a control means 12, a cross switch 34A and a pair of button switches 34B connected to the control means, and a game image generated by the control means for the display device 41. Display circuit 24 that generates and transmits video based on information, memory game cartridge 6 as an external storage medium that is detachably attached to game device 60, and communication that transmits and receives electronic data to other game devices 60 The I / F 21 is the main configuration.

  The cartridge 6 has a built-in flash memory as one semiconductor memory. The memory area of the semiconductor memory is rewritten and added as a game program ROM 6A and a character ROM 6B, and can be rewritten. It is used as a backup memory 6C configured to be capable of updating and storing character capability data in the area. The character ability trade described in detail below is performed using this rewritable backup memory.

  In this game apparatus 60, it is possible to perform game play alone based on a game program in a cartridge connected to an internal memory so that electronic data can be transmitted to and received from the game apparatus 60.

  In this embodiment, it is possible to play a game that increases the ability of a character while performing a treasure hunt game. That is, a game system in which a plurality of game devices 60... 60 that can be operated by each of a plurality of game players via the communication I / F 21 can transmit and receive position information and battle game data, and the same content game The game progresses based on the program 6B, and the game involves movement of the operation character in the same game area by the game input of the input means 3 of the game apparatus 10, and the game character area of the operation character It is to compete for treasure hunt placed inside.

  Then, the game progresses while exchanging the position information of the operation character between the game devices 60... 60, and the position information of the operation character in the game area becomes a predetermined positional relationship. If the control means of the game device determines, a battle game between the pair of operation characters having the predetermined positional relationship is started, and the result of the battle game progressed by transmission / reception of the battle game data is determined. Based on this, the ability trade between the pair of operation characters is performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the control means 12 generates game video information of the display device 41 by the game program and the game input by the input means 3, and based on this game video information, the display circuit 24 is colored. The game control means 12A is provided for performing the coloring process using the palette 24A and displaying it.

  When the operation character clears a predetermined condition predetermined in the ability change reference table 12C in the game result by the game control means 12A, the ability data stored in the backup memory as the ability data of the operation character is updated as needed. In this way, the ability changing means 12B is controlled.

  In addition, each time the ability is changed, when the lottery using the random number table 12D is performed and the result of the lottery is a change in appearance, the appearance change table 12E is referred to in the order determined on the table. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the appearance change means 12F controls the appearance change.

  Thus, in this embodiment, a plurality of characters A to D are configured to appear, and the appearance change pattern and the number of stages are different for each character. However, as the ability increases, the appearance changes. However, since this appearance change is selected by lottery, it does not necessarily indicate that the character is a strong character just because the appearance changes. It is not clear. That is, even if it is weak in appearance, it may be a character that is strong in ability if it is a character that has grown in the lottery with a small number of appearance changes.

  In a game played on a single game device 60 based on the game program, there is a possibility that the number of abilities increases each time a treasure is searched. That is, if a fluoroscopic scroll is found, the ability change means 12B updates the ability table of the backup memory 6A so that the ability changing means 12B can use the ability of fluoroscopy based on the ability change reference table 12C. Then, control is performed such that the ability as the technique of fluoroscopy can be used in the next battle game.

  By performing such a single game, each of the characters A to D increases the number of abilities according to the game result of the treasure hunt game.

  The above is the game control method of the game device 60 alone. This game device 60 is configured by each game device 60 via relay means 61 in which a plurality of game devices 60 are provided with an arbitration circuit as shown in FIG. If the game information 60 can be transmitted and received between the plurality of game apparatuses 60 by the cable 61A connected to the 60 communication I / Fs 21, a multi-participant game can be played. A well-known portable game as such a game apparatus 10 is “Game Boy” manufactured by Nintendo.

  In the multiplayer game in FIG. 7, the game situation from the viewpoint of each game device 60 is displayed on the display device 41 of each game device 60. That is, the data transmitted / received via the cable is position information in the map information (in the game area) where the treasure hunting game is performed, and the position information is predetermined as the position information of the operation character of the other game device 60. When the predetermined positional relationship is reached, the battle play between the pair of game devices 60, 60 is started.

  FIG. 8 discloses a game play flow after the above-described competitive game is started. A game control method related to the ability trade in the battle game will be described below along this game flow.

  As described above, when the treasure hunting game is started by the game devices 60... 60 operated by a plurality of game players, the position information of the operation characters in the respective game devices 60 is transmitted via the relay means 61. Each game device 60 that is transmitted to each game device 60 and receives this position information receives the position of the operation character (for example, one of the characters A to D) operated by the game device 60 and the other game device 60 received. If the position information of the operation character is compared with each other and the positional relationship is within a predetermined range, the battle mode is shifted to the battle mode and the battle mode is switched to the other game devices 60 having the positional relationship within the predetermined range. As a battle signal to shift to the game, and character information related to the operation character to fight, information on the appearance and information on the ability are sent. To.

  In the other game devices 60 that have received this battle signal, the game mode is switched to the battle mode when the battle signal is received, and the information on the appearance and the information on the ability are used as the character information of the operation character. This is transmitted to the previous game apparatus 10.

  Then, the electronic data of the character ROM 6 </ b> C in each cartridge 6 is used by the control means 12 in order to display the appearance of the operation characters of the opponents that compete with each other on the display device 41 of each game device 60. Thus, the battle game starts after the opponent's operation characters are displayed on the opponent's display device 41 (step S1).

  The battle game is majored by the game device 60 that has transmitted the battle signal, and the game input means 30 performs an attack or defense game input every turn. The control unit 12 of the opponent game device 60 is responsible for calculating whether or not the attack hits the opponent. The control unit 12 that has performed the calculation subtracts the damage of the operation character, and calculates the damage value and the remaining life. Character information such as points is transmitted to the opponent game device 60, and information such as damage given to the opponent based on the transmitted character information is displayed on the display device 41 to notify the player. Such transmission / reception is performed for each turn, and the victory or defeat is determined when the life point of any one of the operation characters that finally fights becomes zero (step S2).

  When winning or losing is determined, the ability trade screen shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display device 41 of the game apparatus 10 operated by the winner game player, and the character ROM 6C in the cartridge 6 is controlled by the control means 12 of the game apparatus 60. Data is displayed (step S3).

  Here, when the winning game player selects the desired ability from the ability A, ability B, ability C, ability D, ability F, which is the ability possessed by the opponent operation character, the opponent operation character Take away the ability possessed by the player and add it to the existing ability of the operation character that became the winner of his own, or if it wins by lottery such as a roulette game, the ability equivalent to that can be added .

  When selecting a desired ability from the abilities possessed by the opponent's operation character, select the desired ability from “1. Ability to take away”, and place the desired ability in the selection box A. Press the decision button B (step S4).

  By inputting the determination button B, ability history data for making it possible to use ability data corresponding to the selected ability from among a plurality of ability data prepared in advance in the game program 6B is stored in the backup memory 6A in advance. While rewriting the ability table of the operation character of the winner stored, a signal related to the ability taken away is transmitted to the game device 60 of the loser game player. When this signal is received by the loser's game device 60 side, rewriting is performed so that the ability, from which the ability table in the backup memory 6A of the operation character of the loser of the game device has been taken, becomes unusable thereafter (step S6).

  When the rewriting of the mutual ability table of the winner and loser operation characters is completed, the battle game is ended.

  When selecting a lottery by roulette, the start button D is pressed. When the start button D is pressed, the roulette game starts (step S7).

  In this roulette game, the random number table 12D of the control means 12 is used, and a lottery process relating to the winning / losing of the roulette game is performed under the control of the control means 12 (step S8).

  It is determined based on the data obtained from the random number table 12D whether the result of the lottery process is win / loss (step S9).

  In step S9, not only the determination of hit / miss, but in the case of winning, which ability is to be acquired based on the hit is determined based on the data obtained from the random number table 12D (step S10).

  Then, display of the lottery result and, in the case of winning, display of the acquired ability is performed by the display device 41 (step S11).

  In step S9, in the case of a disconnection, the display device 41 displays that the disconnection has occurred (step S12).

  In the battle game from step S1 to step S12, it is determined whether or not the operation character's ability has been traded (step S13).

  Then, in step S13, when the ability of the operating character is not traded, the game is ended and the process proceeds to step S28 in FIG. 10 to be described later, and the player is asked whether to continue the game.

  In step S13, when trade of the ability of the operation character is performed, a password as character information is displayed on the display device 41 (step S14).

  Although the above description is about the battle game, this game has a plurality of modes and can be switched to a desired mode by an input operation of the game input means 30 of the player. FIG. 10 shows a subroutine of the game progress process executed in the above-described game apparatus 10, 50, 60 or 70.

  First, it is determined whether or not user registration has been completed (step S21). As shown in the table of FIG. 11, the user registration process includes personal information such as the name, sex, date of birth, blood type, address, telephone number, and mail address of the player of the game device. To remember.

  When it is determined in step S21 that user registration has not been completed, VIP card creation processing is executed (step S22). This VIP card creation process executes a process for causing the player to input each item of personal information as described above, stores the input personal information in the nonvolatile RAM 18 of the game apparatus 10, 50, 60 or 70, and The personal information is transmitted to the server 4. By doing in this way, the server 4 can specify the player who plays a game with the game device 10, 50, 60 or 70.

  Next, a VIP card as shown in FIG. 11 is created based on the personal information stored in the nonvolatile RAM 18.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of a VIP card created based on personal information input by the player. The created VIP card displays the player's name, birthday, and blood type. The VIP card created in this way can be displayed on the display device 41 by performing a predetermined operation on the keyboard 32, mouse 33, or controller 34.

  When it is determined in step S21 described above that the user registration has already been completed, or when the process of step S22 is executed, a process for selecting a process mode is executed (step S23). In this process, a list of processes that the player wants to execute and processes that can be executed is displayed on the display device 41, and the player selects a desired process from the displayed list and tries to execute the selected process. Is.

  In step S23 described above, the process of step S24 is executed when the application mode is selected. If it is determined in step S24 that the process selected by the player is not the application mode, it is determined whether or not the selected process is the battle game mode (step S26). When it is determined that the selected process is the battle game mode, the game process in the battle game mode described above is executed (step S27).

  After executing the processing of step S27 described above, whether or not to continue the game is displayed on the display device 41, prompts the player to perform an input operation, and determines whether or not to continue the game (step S28). ). When the player performs an input operation to continue the game, the process returns to step S23 described above.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S26 described above that the selected process is not the campaign mode, or when it is determined in step S24 that the player does not continue the game, this subroutine is terminated.

  Next, a routine for transmitting electronic data including information for granting a prize with an operation character with a traded ability will be described.

  FIG. 12 shows a subroutine of the application process that is called and executed in step S25 described above.

  First, it is determined whether or not the ability of the operation character has been traded (step S81). If it is determined that the ability of the operating character is not traded, this subroutine is immediately terminated. In this way, in step S81, by determining whether or not the ability of the operating character has been traded, a password, which will be described later, can be transmitted only when the result of the game satisfies a predetermined condition. Instability in communication can be eliminated.

  If it is determined in step S81 described above that the ability of the operation character has been traded, it is determined whether or not communication with the server 4 is possible (step S82). Next, electronic data including information that prompts the awarding of a prize with the added operation character with the ability added by the operation of the game input means of the player is transmitted (step S83), and the password is transmitted (step S84). Personal information is transmitted (step S85).

  Here, the password is, for example, two character strings “BUFO BVNXN” and “IPMQ OZNSI”. The personal information is, for example, the player's name, sex, date of birth, blood type, address, telephone number, mail address, etc. in the example shown in FIG. By doing in this way, the character information used as the condition for granting prizes can be transmitted to the server 4 as communication information.

  Thereafter, the server 4 receives the information, password, and personal information prompting the award for the prize transmitted from the game device 10, 50, 60, or 70, and the information prompting the award for the prize, the password, and the personal information are in a predetermined condition. When it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the game device 10, 50, 60, or 70 is selected with the image data of the operation character appearing in the game and the electronic data regarding the trading card (see FIG. 13) to which various ability values of the operation character are attached as prizes. Send to. As prizes, voice data of operating characters can be used.

  In this way, since the prizes with the operation characters added in the game play and traded are actually given in the form of reception of electronic data, the player is given the operation characters with additional abilities. In order to obtain the awarded prize, it is possible to play with enthusiasm in order to add the ability of the operation character in the game.

  The game device 10, 50, 60 or 70 receives audio data or image data issued from the server as a prize (step S85), and ends this subroutine.

  In the present embodiment, information prompting for a prize related to the operation character traded in the battle game is transmitted, and electronic data related to the prize is received, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as a result of playing the game On the condition that the ability of the character is added, it is also possible to transmit information for prompting a prize with the operation character to which the ability is added and to receive electronic data related to the prize. In addition, information for prompting prizes can be transmitted multiple times by adding a new ability or displaying a new password on a display device by trading, so that the player has the same operation character and the ability value. It is possible to acquire prizes such as different trading cards, and it is possible to make the relationship between the fixed character and the ability value indefinite when playing a trading card game other than a game by a game device Become. In addition, the awarding of prizes to players may be provided by mail or the like in addition to receiving electronic data from the server.
