  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a game device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment includes a housing 11, a display screen 15 that is disposed on the upper front surface of the housing 11 and serves as image display means 8, and an intermediate between the housing 11. It comprises a reader 13 that is arranged on the front surface of the unit and serves as the information input means 1, and an operation panel 12 that is arranged immediately below the reader 13. The operation panel 12 is provided with an operation button 17 for the player to input an operation during the game. The operation button 17 includes a button 17a, a button 17b, a button 17c, and a button 17d. Further, a connection port 19 is provided for connecting a portable information terminal for storing the player's personal information and game results.

  The game apparatus 10 has a built-in computer, and based on the game program, a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, which constitute the computer, a reader 13, a display screen 15 provided in the housing 11, and the like. The present invention is realized by causing hardware such as the above to cooperate and function as each means of the game apparatus according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the game device according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, the game apparatus according to the present embodiment includes, as functional blocks, information input means 1, information input determination means 2, program execution means 3, program storage means 4, and data storage means 5. , Condition determination means 6, image display control means 7, and image display means 8.

  The information input means 1 includes a reader 13 and can input the toy body type information, and the information input determination means 2 determines at least whether or not the toy body type information is input. The program execution means 3 reads the game program stored in the program storage means 4 and further reads game data including necessary character data from the data storage means 5. Further, the image display control means 7 is controlled by the program execution means 3 to display the game situation on the display screen 15 which is the image display means 8 and to display instructions to the player.

  As a toy body used for the game device according to the present embodiment, there may be a card with a picture such as a character (so-called trading card), a figure imitating a character, or a plastic model. That is, type information may be attached to toy bodies such as trading cards, figures, and plastic models. As a method of attaching type information, a method of attaching a storage medium and storing information on each toy body including the type information on the storage medium is conceivable, and an alphanumeric list of barcodes and type information is displayed. You may print directly. In the case of figures and plastic models, the type information may be described on a print medium such as a card that is bundled and sold.

  Therefore, the reader 13 which is an example of the information input unit 1 can have various forms depending on the type of the type information attached to the toy body. If the type information is described in a barcode, it is preferable to use a barcode reader. If the type information is stored in a non-contact data carrier, for example, an RF tag, a reader corresponding to the type information may be used. Further, in the case of a simple list of alphanumeric characters, manual input equipment such as a keyboard and a mouse may be used instead of the reader 13. Furthermore, as long as the type information is stored in the storage medium, an apparatus that reads the type information from the storage medium by wired connection may be used. In addition, if the toy body has a wireless communication unit such as an infrared communication unit and the type information stored in the built-in storage medium can be transmitted via the wireless communication unit, the reader 13 wirelessly It may be a communication device that communicates with the communication unit and receives the transmitted type information. That is, the information input unit 1 only needs to include a reading device corresponding to the type of type information.

  The data storage means 5 stores game data. The game data includes at least character data corresponding to the type information of each toy body. The character data includes, for example, character image data for displaying a character image, and data on characteristics, motion characteristics, effects, etc. of the toy body during the game. The condition determination means 6 needs to read out predetermined character data (toy body type information and read the corresponding character data from the data storage means 5 in this embodiment) while the game program being executed is in progress. It is determined whether or not a condition such as

  First, the first embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, a game performed by executing the game program proceeds when the player operates the operation button 17 while looking at the state of the game displayed on the image display means 8.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the first embodiment of the game apparatus according to the present invention.
First, in step S101, the program execution unit 3 starts a game using the game data stored in the data storage unit 5 in step S102.

  In step S103, the condition determination means 6 determines whether or not the first condition is satisfied during the game. Various conditions can be considered for the first condition. For example, it is necessary to input the toy body type information by the information input means 1 and to read the corresponding character data. That is, it is a case where the player is in a disadvantageous situation during the game (for example, when a strong enemy appears or when the physical strength is reduced). This process is always confirmed during the game.

When the condition determination means 6 determines in step S103 that the first condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S104 and the game is temporarily interrupted.
In step S105, the information input determination unit 2 determines whether or not the toy body type information is input in the reader included in the information input unit 1, and if it is determined that the toy body type information has been input. In step S106, the program execution unit 3 reads character data corresponding to the input type information from the data storage unit 5, and then proceeds to step S108.

  In step S105, when the information input determination unit 2 determines that there is no input of toy body type information, the process proceeds to step S107, and the information input determination unit 2 further determines whether or not the first predetermined time has elapsed. to decide. Here, when it is determined that the first predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S105, and it is determined again whether or not type information has been input. That is, steps S106 and S107 are looped until the first predetermined time has elapsed. When it is determined in step S107 that the first predetermined time has elapsed, new character data is not read and the process proceeds to step S108.

  In step S108, the program execution means 3 releases the game pause. In step S109, the game is continued. Thereafter, if the character data has been read in step S106, the program execution means 3 continues the subsequent game using the character data.

  That is, only when the toy body type information is input to the information input means 1 within the first predetermined time after the first condition is satisfied, the character data corresponding to the input type information is stored thereafter. It can be used in games. In other words, even if the first condition is satisfied during the game and the toy body type information can be input, the input is limited within the first predetermined time. Thus, in order to use the character data corresponding to the new toy body type information in the subsequent game, the player inputs the toy body type information from the information input means 1 within the first predetermined time. It is a thrilling game because it is required to do so.

  More specifically, it is assumed that the first condition is that the player falls into an unfavorable situation in the game (for example, a strong enemy appears or physical strength decreases). Then, as a toy body whose type information is input during the game, prepare a toy body of something such as an item such as a weapon or a medicine for relieving the player from the disadvantageous situation, and the type information of the toy body It is assumed that the character data associated with is data that causes an effect of relieving the player from an unfavorable situation in the game, for example, data that increases attack power or recovers physical strength. In other words, according to the present embodiment, when the player falls into an unfavorable situation in the game (for example, a strong enemy appears or the physical strength is reduced), the weapon, the medicine and the medicine are timely within the first predetermined time. If the toy body type information representing an item such as the above can be input from the information input means 1, character data corresponding to the input type information (data causing an effect of increasing attack power and recovering physical strength) is read, which is disadvantageous. However, if the timing information is missed and the toy body type information cannot be input within the first predetermined time, the disadvantageous situation in the game will continue, so thrilling. You can enjoy the game.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that, in the second embodiment, a game executed by executing a game program is performed by the player operating the character image displayed on the image display means 8 with the operation button 17. The point is that the image is advanced, and the point that character image data is used as the character data that is read based on the input type information of the toy body. The character image operated by the player is the main character image referred to in the present invention, and is based on the game data stored in the data storage means 4 in the present embodiment.

Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, in step S101, the program execution unit 3 starts a game using the game data stored in the data storage unit 5 in step S102. At this time, the image display control means 7 displays the main character image (character image operated by the player) based on the game data on the image display means 8 under the control of the program execution means 3.

  In step S103, the condition determination means 6 determines whether or not the first condition is satisfied during the game. Various conditions are conceivable for the first condition. For example, the condition is such that it is necessary to input the toy body type information by the information input means 1 and to read out the character image data corresponding thereto. That is, the main character image representing the character operated by the player needs to be changed during the game. This process is always confirmed during the game.

When the condition determination means 6 determines in step S103 that the first condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S104 and the game is temporarily interrupted.
In step S105, the information input determination unit 2 determines whether or not the toy body type information is input by the reader included in the information input unit 1, and it is determined that the toy body type information is input. In some cases, the program execution means 3 reads the character data corresponding to the input type information, in the case of this embodiment, the character image data from the data storage means 5, and then proceeds to step S108.

  In step S105, when the information input determination unit 2 determines that there is no input of toy body type information, the process proceeds to step S107, and the information input determination unit 2 further determines whether or not the first predetermined time has elapsed. to decide. Here, when it is determined that the first predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S105, and it is determined again whether or not type information has been input. That is, steps S106 and S107 are looped until the first predetermined time has elapsed. If it is determined in step S107 that the first predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S108 without reading new character image data.

  In step S108, the program execution means 3 releases the game pause. In step S109, the game is continued. Thereafter, if the character image data has been read in step S106, the program execution means 3 continues the subsequent game using the character image data. More specifically, the image display control unit is configured to combine the character image based on the character image data read in step S106 and the main character image operated by the player and display the combined character image on the image display unit 8. 8 is controlled.

More specifically, the first condition is when the main character image representing the character operated by the player can be changed. Then, as a toy body whose type information is input during the game, prepare something to change the character (the image is the main character image) operated by the player, for example, a toy body of weapons or strengthening parts, The character data associated with the type information of the toy body is set as character image data for displaying a character image imitating the weapon or the reinforcement part. In other words, according to the present embodiment, when the character operated by the player (the image is the main character image) can be changed in the game, the weapon and the reinforcement are strengthened within the first predetermined time with good timing. If the type information of the toy body representing the part can be input from the information input means 1, character image data corresponding to the input type information (character image data simulating weapons and reinforcement parts) is read out, and the main character image The character image operated by the player can be changed to a combined character image in which weapons and reinforcement parts are attached to the main character image. on the other hand,
Conversely, if the timing is removed and the toy body type information cannot be input within the first predetermined time, the character operated by the player remains the main character image.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described. The game executed by executing the game program in the third embodiment is also progressed by the player operating the character image (main character image) displayed on the image display means 8 with the operation buttons 17 as in the second embodiment. However, the main character image is different in that it is based on character image data corresponding to toy body type information input from the information input means 1. That is, in the game executed by executing the game program in the present embodiment, the character image corresponding to the toy body to which the type information is input is displayed on the image display means 8, and the player operates the character image (main character image). It is a game operated with the button 17.

  First, a toy doll constituted by a toy body according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4A is a front view showing an example of a toy doll according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 4B is a front view schematically showing a part of the toy doll of FIG. 4A that can be selected. FIG.

FIG. 4A shows a toy doll 30 which is a model imitating a character or the like by combining the toy bodies used in this embodiment.
The toy doll 30 is composed of a toy body 31 having a fixed head, both toy bodies 33 and 35, and a leg toy body 37. Two or more body toy bodies 31, both arm toy bodies 33 and 35, and leg toy bodies 37 with different appearances and type information are prepared, and the user arbitrarily combines and combines them. The favorite toy doll 30 can be made.

  Another example of a toy doll will be described with reference to FIG. The toy doll 40 has a torso body 41, and the arm toy body detachably attached to the torso body 41 includes two types of right arm toy bodies 43a and 43b and two types of toy bodies. Left arm toy bodies 45a and 45b are prepared. Further, three types of leg toy bodies 47a, 47b, 47c are prepared as the leg toy bodies that are detachably attached to the trunk toy body 41. The user can make an arbitrary toy doll 40 by selecting and combining an arm toy body and a leg toy body that are coupled to the trunk toy body 41. Further, the toy bodies other than the torso toy body 41 are connected to the connecting portions of the plurality of arm toy bodies 43a, 43b, 45a, 45b and the plurality of leg toy bodies 47a, 47b, 47c and the torso toy body 41. For example, if the toy doll 30 can be combined with the toy doll body 31, the arm toy body and the leg toy body can be exchanged between the toy doll 30 and the toy doll 40. As a result, the user can freely make various toy dolls.

  As described above, the toy bodies 31, 33, 35, 37, 41, 43a, 43b, 45a, 45b, 47a, 47b, and 47c shown in FIGS. It is attached. In this embodiment, the type information includes non-contact data carriers attached to toy bodies 31, 33, 35, 37, 41, 43a, 43b, 45a, 45b, 47a, 47b, and 47c, and RF tags ( Hereinafter, it is stored in the RF tag. Therefore, in this embodiment, the reader 13 included in the information input unit 1 can read the type information from the RF tag of the toy body.

  The data storage means 5 corresponds to the type information attached to the arm toy bodies 43a, 43b, 45a, 45b, the leg toy bodies 47a, 47b, 47c and the torso toy bodies 31, 41a, 41b, 41c, respectively. Character data is stored. As the character data, for example, in addition to character image data for displaying a character image corresponding to a toy body, data such as characteristics, motion characteristics, and effects during the game are recorded. In the present embodiment, the character image displayed based on the character image data imitates the appearance of a toy body to which type information associated with the character image data is attached.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the third embodiment.
First, the process starts in step S201. In step S202, the information input determination means 2 has read the type information from the RF tag of each toy body that constitutes the toy doll by the reader included in the information input means 1, that is, the toy body type information is input. It is determined whether or not. If the toy body type information is not input, the process proceeds to step S205, where it is determined whether the predetermined time has elapsed in the program execution means 3, and if it is determined in step S205 that the predetermined time has not elapsed, again. It progresses to step S202 and it is determined whether the toy body type information input was performed. That is, until the predetermined time elapses, it is determined whether toy body type information is input.

  When it is determined in step S202 that the toy body type information has been input, the process proceeds to step S203, and the information input determination unit 2 further determines whether or not the input type information is valid. If it is determined that the type information is not valid, the process proceeds to step S205, and the program execution unit 3 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed.

  If it is determined that the type information is valid, the process proceeds to step S204, and the program execution unit 3 responds from the data storage unit 5 based on the type information read by the reader from the RF tag of the toy body of each part of the toy doll. After the game data including the character data (including the character image data) is read, the process proceeds to step S205, and it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed. That is, by repeating steps S202, S203, S204, and S205, the character data corresponding to the input type information is repeatedly read within a predetermined time.

If it is determined in step S205 that the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S206, and the program execution unit 3 invalidates or does not input any type information of the torso, both arms, or the leg. It is judged whether there is any.
If it is determined in step S206 that the type information of the torso, both arms, and legs is valid and input, the process proceeds to step S208, and the program execution means 3 reads the character data already read out. Based on this, an operation character of the player (the image is a main character image) is generated and the game is started. Conversely, if it is determined in step S206 that any type information of the torso, both arms, and legs is invalid or not entered, the process proceeds to step S207, and the torso, both arms, and legs are determined. Of these, for the portions where the type information is determined to be invalid or not input (insufficient portions), the missing character data stored in advance in the data storage means for reading out those portions is read out, and the step The process proceeds to S208. In this case, in step S208, the program execution means 3 generates an operation character of the player (the image is a main character image) using both the character data read in step S204 and the insufficient character data read in step S207. And start the game.

  Generation of the main character image representing the player's operation character will be described in more detail. For example, it is assumed that the player has created a toy doll by selecting a toy body 41 as a torso, a right arm toy body 43b as a right arm, a left arm toy body 45a as a left arm, and a leg toy body 47c as a leg and combining them. In step S202, each type information of the torso body 41, the right arm toy body 43b, the left arm toy body 45a, and the leg toy body 47c is input. In step S204, along with the character data associated with each type information, Each character image data is read out, and the main character image is generated as a combination of character images based on these read out data. Since the character images based on the read data are imitated torso toy body 41, right arm toy body 43b, left arm toy body 45a, and leg toy body 47c, respectively, the main character image that is a combination of them is The toy doll created by the player is imitated in appearance. That is, in this embodiment, the player can use a character image that looks like a toy doll created by himself as a main character image operated by the player.

  Now, in step S209, the condition determination means 6 determines whether the 1st condition was satisfy | filled during the game. Various conditions can be considered for the first condition. For example, it is necessary to input the toy body type information by the information input means 1 and to read the corresponding character data. In other words, this is a case where an unfavorable situation occurs during the game (for example, when an arm or a leg is destroyed during the game). This process is always confirmed during the execution of the game program.

When the condition determination means 6 determines in step S209 that the first condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S210 and the game is temporarily stopped.
In step S211, the information input determination unit 2 determines whether or not the toy body type information is input in the reader included in the information input unit 1, and if it is determined that the toy body type information is input. In step S212, the program execution unit 3 reads character data (including character image data) corresponding to the input type information from the data storage unit 5, and then proceeds to step S214.

  In step S211, when the information input determination means 2 determines that there is no input of toy body type information, the process proceeds to step S213, where the information input determination means 2 further determines whether or not the first predetermined time has elapsed. to decide. Here, when it is determined that the first predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S211 to determine again whether or not type information has been input. That is, steps S211 and S213 are looped until the first predetermined time has elapsed. When it is determined in step S213 that the first predetermined time has elapsed, new character data is not read and the process proceeds to step S214.

  In step S214, the program execution means 3 cancels the game pause. In step S215, the game is continued. Thereafter, if new character data has been read in step S212, the program execution means 3 continues the subsequent game using the character data. That is, a character image based on the character image data included in the newly read character data is combined with the main character image to form a combined character image, and the combined character image is used as a character operated by the player thereafter as the image display means 8. The image display control means 7 is controlled so as to be displayed.

  That is, only when the toy body type information is input to the information input means 1 within the first predetermined time after the first condition is satisfied, the character data (character image) corresponding to the input type information is input. Data) can be used in subsequent games. In other words, even if the first condition is satisfied during the game and the toy body type information can be input, the input is limited within the first predetermined time. As a result, the player is required to input the toy body type information from the information input means 1 within the first predetermined time, so that the game becomes a thrilling game.

  More specifically, the first condition is that the character operated by the player (its image is the main character image) is destroyed in the right arm during the game. As the toy body to which the type information is input during the game, the right arm toy body 35 and the right arm toy body 43a are prepared, and the character image data associated with the type information of the toy body is the right arm part. Assume that a character image simulating the toy body 35 and the right arm toy body 43a is displayed. According to the present embodiment, when the character operated by the player is in the game and the right arm is destroyed, the type information of the right arm toy body 35 and the right arm toy body 43a is input in a timely manner within the first predetermined time. If it can be input from the means 1, character image data (character image data imitating the right arm toy body 35 or the right arm toy body 43a) corresponding to the input type information is read, and the right arm toy body 35 or the right arm is read. The character image imitating the toy body 43a is combined with the main character image to generate a combined character image, and the right arm portion is changed to the character image imitating the right arm toy body 35 or the right arm toy body 43a thereafter. The character image can be used as a character operated by the player. On the other hand, if the timing information is out and the type information of the right arm toy body 35 and the right arm toy body 43a cannot be input within the first predetermined time, the game does not continue with the main character image with the right arm part destroyed. It must not be.

  A fourth embodiment will be described as a modification of the third embodiment. Also in the fourth embodiment, the toy body includes the body toy bodies 31 and 41 shown in FIG. 3 as the body, the arm toy bodies 43a, 43b, 45a and 45b shown in FIG. 3 as the arms, and the legs as the legs. Toy bodies 37, 47a, 47b, and 47c are prepared, and the player can select any trunk toy body, arm toy body, or leg toy body to create a desired toy doll. This is the same as the embodiment. Further, the data storage means 4 includes, as character image data included in the character data associated with each toy body type information, a torso image, an arm image, and a leg portion imitating the appearance of each toy body. Torso image data, arm image data, and leg image data for displaying an image are stored.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation up to the start of the game according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the operation after the start of the game according to the fourth embodiment.

  First, it demonstrates based on FIG. The process starts in step S401. In step S402, whether the information input determination means 2 has read the type information from the RF tag of the trunk toy body constituting the toy doll by the reader included in the information input means 1, that is, the type information input of the trunk toy body is received. Determine whether it was done. If the trunk toy body type information is not input, the process proceeds to step S404, where it is determined whether the predetermined time has elapsed in the program execution means 3, and it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed in step S404. In this case, the process proceeds to step S402 again, and it is determined whether or not the type information of the trunk toy body has been input. That is, until the predetermined time elapses, it is determined whether or not the type information of the trunk toy body has been input.

If it is determined in step S402 that type information of the torso torso has been input, the process proceeds to step S403, where the program execution means 3 is read by the reader from the RF tag of the toy doll torso body. Based on the specific type information, the corresponding torso image data is read from the data storage means 5, and the process proceeds to step S405.
Even when it is determined in step S404 that the predetermined time has elapsed, it is assumed that the type information of the torso body has not been input, and the process proceeds to step S405.

  Next, in step S405, the information input determination means 2 has read the type information from the RF tag of the arm toy body constituting the toy doll by the reader included in the information input means 1, that is, the type information of the arm toy body. It is determined whether or not input has been performed. If the type information of the arm toy body is not input, the process proceeds to step S407, where it is determined whether the predetermined time has elapsed in the program execution means 3, and it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed in step S407. In this case, the process proceeds to step S405 again, and it is determined whether or not the type information of the arm toy body has been input. That is, until the predetermined time elapses, it is determined whether or not the type information of the arm toy body is input.

If it is determined in step S405 that the type information of the arm toy body has been input, the process proceeds to step S406, where the program execution means 3 is read by the reader from the RF tag of the arm toy body of the toy doll. Based on the specific type information, the corresponding arm image data is read from the data storage means 5, and the process proceeds to step S408.
Even when it is determined in step S407 that the predetermined time has elapsed, the type information of the arm toy body is not input and the process proceeds to step S408.

  Next, in step S408, the information input determination means 2 has read the type information from the RF tag of the leg toy body constituting the toy doll by the reader included in the information input means 1, that is, the type information of the leg toy body. It is determined whether or not input has been performed. If the type information of the leg toy body is not input, the process proceeds to step S410, where it is determined whether the predetermined time has elapsed in the program execution means 3, and it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed in step S410. In this case, the process proceeds again to step S408, and it is determined whether or not the type information of the leg toy body has been input. That is, it is determined whether or not the type information of the leg toy body has been input until a predetermined time has elapsed.

If it is determined in step S408 that the type information of the leg toy body has been input, the process proceeds to step S409, where the program execution means 3 is read by the reader from the RF tag of the leg toy body of the toy doll. Based on the specific type information, the corresponding leg image data is read from the data storage means 5, and the process proceeds to step S411.
Even when it is determined in step S410 that the predetermined time has elapsed, it is assumed that the type information of the leg toy body has not been input, and the process proceeds to step S411.

In step S411, the program execution unit 3 determines whether any type information of the trunk, arm, or leg has been input.
If it is determined in step S411 that any type information of the torso, both arms, and legs has been input, the process proceeds to step S412 and the program execution means 3 is read in steps S403, S406, and S409. The torso image data, the arm image data, the torso image based on the leg image data, the arm image, and the leg image are combined to generate a main character image representing the character operated by the player.

  If it is determined in step S411 that there is no input in any type information, the process proceeds to step S413, and the portion of the trunk, both arms, and legs in which the type information is determined not input ( With respect to the deficient portion), the deficient portion image data stored in advance in the data storage means for the case where these portions are deficient is read out, and the process proceeds to step S412. In this case, in step S412, the program execution means 3 combines the image based on the image data associated with the input type information with the insufficient partial image based on the insufficient partial image data, and the character operated by the player character. A main character image representing is generated. When the main character image is generated in step S412, the process proceeds to step S414, and the program execution unit 3 controls the image display control unit 7 to image the main character image generated in step 412 as the character operated by the player. The game is started by displaying on the display means 8.

  The generation of the main character image representing the operation character of the player will be described with an example. For example, it is assumed that the player has created a toy doll by selecting a toy body 41 as a torso, a right arm toy body 43b as a right arm, a left arm toy body 45a as a left arm, and a leg toy body 47c as a leg and combining them. In step S402, type information of the body toy body 41 is input, and body image data based on the type information input in step S403 is read. The torso image displayed by the read torso image data imitates the appearance of the torso torso body 41. Next, in step S405, type information of the right arm toy body 43b and the left arm toy body 45a is input, and in step S406, arm image data based on each of the input type information is read. The arm part image displayed by the read arm part image data simulates the appearance of the right arm toy body 43b and the left arm toy body 45a. Finally, in step S408, the type information of the leg toy body 47c is input, and in step S409, leg image data associated with the input type information is read. The leg image displayed by the read leg image data imitates the leg toy body 47c. The main character image representing the character operated by the player is generated as a combination of the torso image data, arm image data, torso image based on the leg image data, the arm image, and the leg image. The Accordingly, the main character image is generated by combining the torso image, arm image, and leg image simulating the torso toy body 41, the right arm toy body 43b, the left arm toy body 45a, and the leg toy body 47c. Therefore, the main character image imitates the appearance of a toy doll created by the player (the torso is a torso body 41, the right arm is a right arm toy body 43b, the left arm is a left arm toy body 45a, and the leg is a leg toy body 47c). It will be a thing. That is, in this embodiment, the player can use a character image that looks like a toy doll created by himself as a main character image representing a character operated by the player.

The operation after the game start in the fourth embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
Now, when a game is started, it will progress to step S415. In step S415, the condition determination means 6 determines whether or not the first condition is satisfied during the game. In the present embodiment, the first condition is such that it is necessary to input new arm part toy body type information by the information input means 1 and read out the corresponding arm part image data. . That is, the arm portion is destroyed or damaged during the game, and the arm portion needs to be replaced. This process is always confirmed during the execution of the game program.

When the condition determination means 6 determines in step S415 that the first condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S416 and the game is temporarily stopped.
Then, the process proceeds to step S417, where the information input determination unit 2 determines whether or not the type information of the arm toy body is input in the reader included in the information input unit 1, and the type information of the arm toy body is input. When it is determined, the process proceeds to step S418, where the program execution means 3 reads out the arm image data corresponding to the input type information from the data storage means 5, and then proceeds to step S419.

  In step S419, the program execution means 3 controls the image display control means 7 so that the arm image of the main character image (if the first condition is that the arm is destroyed, the destruction expression is applied. Instead of the arm image, the arm image based on the arm image data read in step S418 is displayed on the image display unit 8. That is, the arm image based on the read arm image data is combined with the torso image and leg image constituting the main character image to generate a combined character image, and the combined character image is generated by the player. After controlling the image display control means 7 so that it is displayed on the image display means 8 as an image representing the character operated by, the process proceeds to step S420 and the game pause is released. Then, after the game pause is released, the process proceeds to step S421 and the game is continued.

  In step S417, when the information input determining unit 2 determines that there is no input of the type information of the toy arm unit, the process proceeds to step S422, and the information input determining unit 2 further determines whether the first predetermined time has elapsed. Determine whether. Here, when it is determined that the first predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S417, and it is determined again whether or not the type information of the arm toy body is input. That is, steps S417 and S422 are looped until the first predetermined time has elapsed. When it is determined in step S422 that the first predetermined time has elapsed, the new arm image data is not read, and the process proceeds to step S420 to cancel the game pause. Then, after the game pause is released, the process proceeds to step S421 and the game is continued.

  That is, the arm image corresponding to the input type information only when the type information of the arm toy body is input to the information input unit 1 within the first predetermined time after the first condition is satisfied. The arm image based on the data is combined with the main character image to generate a combined character image, and the combined character image can be used as a character operated by the player thereafter. In other words, even if the first condition is satisfied during the game and the type information of the arm toy body can be input, the input is limited within the first predetermined time. As a result, the player is required to input the type information of the arm toy body from the information input means 1 within the first predetermined time, so that the game becomes a thrilling game.

  More specifically, the first condition is that the character operated by the player represented by the main character image is that the right arm is destroyed during the game. As the toy body to which the type information is input during the game, the right arm toy body 35 and the right arm toy body 43a are prepared, and the arm part image data associated with the type information of the toy body is the right arm part. The toy body 35 and the arm image imitating the right arm toy body 43a are displayed. Assume that the right arm image of the main character image representing the character operated by the player is based on the arm image data associated with the type information of the right arm toy body 43b. Then, when the right arm part is destroyed in the game, if the type information of the right arm toy body 35 and the right arm toy body 43a can be input from the information input means 1 within the first predetermined time in a timely manner, the input type Arm image data corresponding to the information (data for displaying an arm image imitating the right arm toy body 35 or the right arm toy body 43a) is read, and the right arm toy body 35 or the right arm toy body 43a is read. The simulated arm image generates a combined character image combined with the torso image constituting the main character image instead of the arm image simulating the right arm toy body 43b, and thereafter the right arm image is the right arm toy. Specifically, the combined character image changed to an arm image simulating 35 or the right arm toy body 43a can be used as a character operated by the player. On the other hand, if the timing information is out and the type information of the right arm toy body 35 and the right arm toy body 43a cannot be input within the first predetermined time, the game does not continue with the main character image with the right arm part destroyed. It must not be.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 7 again, the case where the condition determination means 6 determines in step S415 that the first condition is not satisfied will be described. In that case, the process proceeds to step S423, and in step S423, the condition determination means 6 determines whether or not the second condition is satisfied during the game. In the present embodiment, the second condition is such a condition that it is necessary to input the type information of the leg toy body by the information input means 1 and read out the leg image data corresponding thereto. In other words, it is a case where the legs are destroyed or damaged during the game and the legs need to be replaced.

  When the condition determination means 6 determines in step S423 that the second condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S424 and the game is temporarily stopped. When it is determined in step S423 that the second condition is not satisfied, the process returns to step S415 again, and it is determined whether or not the first condition is satisfied. That is, during the game, it is determined whether the first condition or the second condition is satisfied.

  In step S424, when the game is temporarily stopped, the process proceeds to step S425, where the information input determination unit 2 determines whether or not the type information of the leg toy body in the reader included in the information input unit 1 is input. If it is determined that the type information of the leg toy body has been input, the process proceeds to step S426, and the program execution means 3 reads out the leg image data corresponding to the input type information from the data storage means 5. Then, the process proceeds to step S427.

  In step S427, the program execution means 3 controls the image display control means 7 so that the leg image of the main character image (if the second condition is that the leg is destroyed, the destruction expression is applied. In place of the leg image), a leg image based on the leg image data read in step S426 is displayed on the image display means 8. That is, the leg image based on the read leg image data is combined with the torso image and the arm image constituting the main character image so as to be displayed on the image display means 8 as a combined character image. After controlling the image display control means 7, the process proceeds to step S420, and the game pause is released. Then, after the game pause is released, the process proceeds to step S421 and the game is continued.

  In step S425, when the information input determination unit 2 determines that there is no input of the type information of the leg toy body, the process proceeds to step S428, and the information input determination unit 2 further determines whether the second predetermined time has elapsed. Determine whether. Here, when it is determined that the second predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S425, and it is determined again whether or not the type information of the leg toy body has been input. That is, steps S425 and S428 are looped until the second predetermined time elapses. If it is determined in step S428 that the second predetermined time has elapsed, new leg image data is not read, and the process proceeds to step S420 to cancel the game pause. Then, after the game pause is released, the process proceeds to step S421 and the game is continued.

  That is, only when the type information of the leg toy body is input to the information input means 1 within the second predetermined time after the second condition is satisfied, the leg image corresponding to the input type information. A combined character image is generated by combining the leg image based on the data with the main character image, and the combined character image can be used as a character operated by the player thereafter. In other words, even if the second condition is satisfied during the game and the type information of the leg toy body can be input, the input is limited within the second predetermined time. As a result, the player is required to input the type information of the leg toy body from the information input means 1 within the second predetermined time, so that the game becomes a thrilling game.

  More specifically, the second condition is that the character operated by the player represented by the main character image is that the leg is destroyed during the game. The leg toy body 37, the leg toy body 47a, and the leg toy body 47b are prepared as toy bodies, and the leg image data associated with the toy body type information is the leg toy body. Specifically, it is assumed to display a leg image imitating the leg toy body 47a and the leg toy body 47b. Assume that the leg image of the main character image representing the character operated by the player is based on the leg image data associated with the type information of the leg toy body 47c. When the leg is destroyed during the game, the type information of any of the leg toy body 37, the leg toy body 47a, and the leg toy body 47b is input to the information input means 1 within the second predetermined time with good timing. Can be input from the leg image data corresponding to the input type information (data for displaying a leg image imitating one of the leg toy body 37, the leg toy body 47a, and the leg toy body 47b). ) Is read, and a leg image simulating one of the leg toy body 37, the leg toy body 47a, and the leg toy body 47b is replaced with a leg image simulating the leg toy body 47c. A combined character image is generated by combining with the torso image constituting the character image, and thereafter the leg image imitates one of the leg toy body 37, the leg toy body 47a, and the leg toy body 47b. Play the combined character image changed to an image There can be used as a character operated. On the other hand, if the timing is removed and any type information of the leg toy body 37, the leg toy body 47a, and the leg toy body 47b cannot be input within the second predetermined time, the leg portion remains broken. The game must continue with the main character image.

  Next, an example of a game executed on the game device according to the present invention will be described. In this game, the player operates the operation button 17 to give an instruction to the self character displayed as the main character image on the image display means 7 (display screen 15), and the program execution means 3 controls based on the game program. It is a game to play against enemy characters.

  FIG. 8 is a drawing showing a main game screen displayed mainly on the image display means 7 during the game.

  A self-character 801 displayed as a main character image is displayed on the left side of the main game screen, and an enemy character 802 controlled by the program execution means 3 based on the game program is displayed on the right side.

  In the upper part of the main game screen, a self-physical strength gauge 803 representing the physical strength of the self-character 801 and an enemy physical strength gauge 804 representing the physical strength of the enemy character 802 are displayed. The self-health gauge 803 decreases (becomes shorter) when an attack from the enemy character 802 is received, and the player's defeat is confirmed when the attack is lost. Further, the enemy physical strength gauge 804 decreases (shortens) when the attack by the self-character 801 is successful, and when the attack is lost, the player's victory is determined. That is, the purpose of the player in this game is to issue an instruction to the self-character 801 using the operation buttons 17 to attack the enemy character 802 or to avoid the attack of the enemy character 802 by moving. Before the self-health gauge 803 is exhausted, the enemy health gauge 804 is lost to win.

Next, details of an instruction given to the player character 801 by the player will be described. There are three types of instructions that the player can input to the self-character 801: attack, movement, and counter. By pressing the buttons 17a, 17b, and 17c of the operation buttons 17, respectively, You can enter instructions.
Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 8, an attack icon 805, a movement icon 806, and a counter icon 807 are displayed on the main game screen so as to overlap the main character image representing the self character 801. The mutual positional relationship is consistent with the positional relationship of the button 17a, the button 17b, and the button 17c. Therefore, the player can easily press the button corresponding to the icon to be instructed while looking at the display screen 15.

  The rhombus displayed on the lower left of the main game screen is a self-kill technique gauge 811. The self-kill technique gauge 811 is divided into four parts, an upper left part, a lower left part, a lower right part, and an upper right part. The program execution means 3 lights up the self-kill technique gauge 811 in the order of the upper left part, the lower left part, the lower right part, and the upper right part every time an instruction input by a player described later fails. In FIG. 8, the self-kill technique gauge 811 is lit up to the upper left part, the lower left part, and the lower right part, and when the instruction input by the player fails once more, the upper right part is also lit. When all the parts of the self-killing technique gauge 811 are lit, when the player presses the button 17d, an instruction can be input to give a special technique to the self-character 801. In other words, if the player continues to fail to input instructions, it is predicted that the player has fallen into the game, but in that case, the special technique can be used, so the situation can be reversed by using the special technique. Can be done. Incidentally, the enemy character 802 has an enemy special technique gauge 812 having the same configuration, and is displayed at the lower right of the main game screen. Whenever an instruction to the enemy character 802 by the program execution means 3 to be described later fails, the enemy execute technique gauge 812 is lit in the same manner as the self-kill technique gauge 811. In addition to attacks, movements, and counters, you can select a special move. Therefore, if the instruction to the enemy character 802 is unsuccessful, the instruction input by the player is successful, and thus the enemy character 802 is driven into a remote area on the game. At that time, the enemy character 802 may be in a state where it can make a special move, and the situation may be reversed, so the game becomes more thrilling. Incidentally, the state shown in FIG. 8 is a state in which all of the enemy special technique gauges 812 are lit up. At this time, the program execution means 3 applies the special technique to the enemy character 802 in addition to the attack, movement, and counter. Can be selected as an instruction.

  Next, the meaning of the attack, movement, and counter instruction inputs in the game will be described. The attack means that the enemy character 802 is attacked. If the attack is successful, the enemy physical strength gauge 804 can be decreased. The movement means that the distance to the enemy character 803 is an effective distance for the attack. If the movement is successful, the distance to the enemy character 803 can be an effective distance for the attack. The counter means a counter attack against the attack of the enemy character 802. If the counter is successful, the attack of the enemy character 802 is avoided and the decrease of the self-health gauge 803 can be avoided. An attack is made against 802, and the enemy physical strength gauge 804 can be reduced.

  The player presses the button 17a, the button 17b, or the button 17c to attack, when it is time to input an instruction to the player character 801 during the game while taking into account the meaning of the instruction input described above. Enter either move or counter instructions. At this time, the program execution means 3 also issues an instruction of attack, movement, or counter to the enemy character 802 based on the game program, and whether or not the instruction input by the player is successful is determined by the program execution means. 3 is determined by comparison with an instruction issued to the enemy character 802.

  In other words, each instruction input of attack, movement, and counter has a cyclical superiority and inferiority relationship, and attack is strong against movement, movement is strong against counter, counter is strong against attack, and so-called “Janken” A superiority or inferiority relationship is set. The program execution means 3 determines the superiority or inferiority between the instruction input by the player and the instruction given to the enemy character based on the superiority / inferiority relationship, and determines the success or failure of the instruction input by the player.

  This will be described more specifically. Assume that when an instruction can be input to the self-character 801 during the game, the player presses the button 17 a and inputs an attack to the self-character 801. At this time, if the instruction issued by the program execution means 3 to the enemy character 802 is movement, the attack is stronger than the movement according to the above-described cyclic superiority / inferiority relationship. It is determined that the instruction input is successful, and the enemy physical strength gauge 804 is decreased. On the other hand, if the instruction issued by the program execution means 3 to the enemy character 802 is a counter, the counter is stronger than the attack according to the above-described cyclic superiority relationship, so that the program execution means 3 is attacked by the player. Is determined to have failed, while the counter instruction issued to the enemy character 802 is determined to be successful, and the self-health gauge 803 is decreased. At this time, as described above, the program execution means 3 lights one self-killing technique gauge 811 displayed on the main game screen on the assumption that the attack instruction input by the player has failed. If the instruction given to the enemy character 802 is also an attack, the program execution means 3 adds 1 to “Aiko Count”, assuming that it is a so-called “Aiko”.

  In addition, it is assumed that the player presses the button 17b and inputs a movement instruction to the self character 801. At this time, if the instruction issued by the program execution means 3 to the enemy character 802 is a counter, the movement is stronger than the counter according to the above-described cyclical superiority / inferiority relationship. Is determined to have been successful, and the distance between the enemy character 802 and the self-character 801 is determined to be a distance effective for the attack of the self-character 801. Conversely, if the instruction issued by the program execution means 3 to the enemy character 802 is an attack, the program execution means 3 is moved by the player because the attack is stronger than the movement according to the above-described cyclic superiority / inferiority relationship. It is determined that the instruction input for the enemy character 802 has succeeded, and the self-health gauge 803 is decreased. At this time, as described above, the program execution means 3 lights one self-killing technique gauge 811 displayed on the main game screen, assuming that the movement instruction input by the player has failed. If the instruction issued to the enemy character 802 is also a movement, the program execution means 3 adds 1 to “Aiko Count”, assuming that it is a so-called “Aiko”.

  Further, it is assumed that the player presses the button 17c and inputs a counter instruction to the self character 801. At this time, if the instruction issued by the program execution means 3 to the enemy character 802 is an attack, the counter is stronger than the attack according to the above-described cyclic superiority / inferiority relationship. Is determined to be successful, and the enemy physical strength gauge 804 is decreased after the attack of the enemy character 802 is avoided. On the other hand, if the instruction given by the program execution means 3 to the enemy character 802 is movement, the movement is stronger than the counter according to the above-described cyclic superiority / demerit relationship, so that the program execution means 3 is countered by the player. It is determined that the instruction input of the enemy character 802 has failed, while the movement instruction issued to the enemy character 802 is determined to be successful, and the distance between the enemy character 802 and the self-character 801 is set to an effective distance for the enemy character 802 to attack. . At this time, as described above, the program execution means 3 lights one self-killing technique gauge 811 displayed on the main game screen, assuming that the counter instruction input by the player has failed. If the instruction given to the enemy character 802 is also a counter, the program execution means 3 adds 1 to “Aiko Count”, assuming that it is a so-called “Aiko”.

  Each time an instruction can be input to the player character 801 during the game, the player inputs any instruction from the operation button 17 while considering the meaning of each instruction input as described above succeeding or failing. Then, the game is advanced so as to decrease the enemy physical strength gauge 804 while avoiding the decrease of the self physical strength gauge 803.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where a special move instruction is input as an instruction to the self-character 801. The instruction for the special move is performed by pressing the button 17d in a state where all parts of the self-special technique gauge 811 are lit. The program execution means 3 displays an image in which the self character 811 performs the special technique on the display screen 15 when the special technique instruction is input, and further displays the right arm part, the left arm part, and the leg part of the enemy character 802. An image in which one of them is destroyed is displayed, and the enemy physical strength gauge 804 is attacked and greatly reduced as compared with the case where the counter is successful.

  On the contrary, the case where the program execution means 3 instruct | indicates a special technique as an instruction | indication with respect to the enemy character 802 is demonstrated. At this time, the program execution means 3 displays on the display screen 15 an image in which the enemy character 802 makes a special move, and further displays an image in which any of the right arm, left arm, or leg of the self character 801 is destroyed. Then, the self-health gauge 803 is greatly reduced as compared with the case where the attack and counter are successful.

  In addition, a case where “Aiko Count” reaches a predetermined number during the game will be described. When the program execution means 3 determines that the “aiko count” has reached a predetermined number, the game is quickly pressed by the operation button 17. In the fast-press game, the player is required to press any button of the operation buttons 17 within a predetermined time. If any button is pressed within the predetermined time, the game is determined to be successful. Is done. That is, the program execution means 3 determines whether any one of the operation buttons 17 has been pressed by the player within a predetermined time from the start of execution of the fast-pressing game. When it is pressed, it is determined to be successful, and an image in which any of the right arm, left arm, and leg of the enemy character 802 is destroyed is displayed on the display screen 15, the enemy physical strength gauge 804 is attacked, and the counter succeeds. Reduce significantly compared to the case. Conversely, if it is determined that any of the operation buttons 17 has not been pressed within a predetermined time, it is determined that the operation has failed, and any of the right arm, left arm, and leg of the self-character 801 is destroyed. Is displayed on the display screen 15, and the self-health gauge 803 is attacked and greatly reduced compared to the case where the counter is successful.

  If the enemy physical strength gauge 804 is exhausted before the player's own physical strength gauge 803 is exhausted as a result of instruction input by the player during the game, the player's victory is confirmed and the game is continued. On the other hand, if the self-health gauge 803 runs out before the enemy health gauge 804 runs out, the player's defeat is confirmed and the game ends.

  Now, the relationship between this game and the game device embodiments according to the present invention described so far will be described. In order to make the explanation easy to understand, the case where the game executed in the fourth embodiment is the main game among the embodiments of the game apparatus according to the present invention described so far will be described.

  First, the main character image representing the self character 801 is generated through steps S401 to S412 in FIG. That is, the torso image data, the arm image data, and the leg image data associated with each type information of the torso body, the arm toy body, and the leg toy body that constitute the toy doll created by the player. This is a combination of the torso image, the arm image, and the leg image based on it, and mimics the appearance of a toy doll created by the player.

  In this game, the first condition described in the fourth embodiment is that the enemy character 802 is subjected to a special technique, or the “Aiko Count” reaches a predetermined number and the fast-press game that is executed fails. This is a case where the right arm portion or the left arm portion of the self-character 801 represented by the main character image is destroyed. In this game, the second condition described in the fourth embodiment may be that the enemy character 802 has received a special technique, or that the “Aiko Count” has reached a predetermined number and the fast-pressing game has failed. In this case, the leg of the self-character 801 represented by the main character image is destroyed.

  This will be described in more detail. When the right arm portion or the left arm portion of the self-character 801 represented by the main character image is destroyed during the game (that is, when the condition determining means 6 breaks when the first condition is satisfied), the program executing means 3 displays on the display screen 15 a prompt for the player to input the type information of the arm toy body from the reader 13 (information input means 1). At this time, the elapsed state of the first predetermined time may be displayed on the display screen 15 as well. If the information input determination means 6 determines that the type information of the arm toy body has been input from the reader 13 before the first predetermined time has elapsed (if step S417 in FIG. 7 is Y), the input type information Is read out (step S418 in FIG. 7), and the arm image based on the read arm image data is replaced with the main character image instead of the destroyed arm image of the main character image. A combined character image is generated by combining with other parts (body image, leg image), and the combined character image is displayed as a self-character 801 (step S419 in FIG. 7). That is, a display is made as if the destroyed arm of the self-character 801 is replaced with a new arm. If the first predetermined time has elapsed without the type information of the arm toy body being input from the reader 13 (when step S422 in FIG. 7 is Y), the self-character 801 will be referred to as the right arm portion thereafter. Alternatively, it is represented by a main character image with the left arm portion destroyed. That is, a display is made as if the replacement of the arm portion of the self character 801 has failed despite the destruction of the arm portion of the self-character 801.

  Next, a case where the leg portion of the self-character 801 represented by the main character image is destroyed during the game (that is, a case where the condition determination unit 6 determines that the second condition is satisfied) will be described. In this case, the program execution means 3 displays on the display screen 15 a prompt for the player to input the type information of the leg toy body from the reader 13 (information input means 1). At this time, the elapsed state of the second predetermined time may be displayed on the display screen 15 as well. When the information input determination means 6 determines that the type information of the leg toy body has been input from the reader 13 before the second predetermined time has elapsed (when step S425 in FIG. 7 is Y), the input type information The leg image data associated with the leg image data is read (step S426 in FIG. 7), and the leg image based on the read leg image data is replaced with the main character image instead of the destroyed leg image of the main character image. The combined character image is generated by combining with other parts (the torso image and the arm image), and the combined character image is displayed as the self character 801 (step S427 in FIG. 7). That is, a display is made as if the destroyed leg of the self-character 801 is replaced with a new leg. If the second predetermined time has elapsed without the type information of the leg toy body being input from the reader 13 (when step S428 in FIG. 7 is Y), the self character 801 will thereafter Is represented by the main character image as it is destroyed. That is, a display is made as if the conversion to a new leg portion failed even though the leg portion of the self-character 801 was destroyed.

  When the self-character 801 is represented by a main character image with the legs destroyed, or a main character image with the right arm or left arm destroyed, the self-character 801 is disadvantageous in the game. May be. For example, when the right arm is destroyed, it is impossible to input an attack instruction, when the leg is destroyed, no movement instruction can be input, and when the left arm is destroyed, a counter instruction is input. It is possible to make it impossible. In this case, the type information of the arm toy body and the leg toy body is input within the first predetermined time or the second predetermined time even though the first condition or the second condition is satisfied. Otherwise, it will be extremely disadvantageous in the games that will continue, so you can enjoy more thrilling games and encourage players to purchase and prepare a lot of toy arms and leg toys. Can do.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes modifications and improvements as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.
For example, in the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the program execution unit 3 stores a history of type information input during the game, and the type information input to the information input unit 31 during the game is If it has been input once in the game (that is, stored in the history or used for generating the main character image), the information input determination means 2 Alternatively, it may not be determined that the type information has been input, or may be determined as input failure. In this way, it is possible to encourage the player to purchase and prepare more toy bodies so that more type information can be input during the game. Alternatively, the program execution means 3 may have entered the type information input to the information input means 31 during the game once or more times during the game (that is, stored as history, or , The program execution means 3 performs some processing on the character image data read by the input type information, or is completely different. The character image data may be read out. Furthermore, even if the character image data is the same, the character data including the character image data is processed into a portion other than the character image data (such as effect data for determining an effect exhibited in the game) ( For example, the effect may be doubled). Furthermore, the type information (that is, stored as a history or used to generate the current main character image) that has been input at least once in the game is intentionally written again. By inputting, the success / failure determination of the action in the game may be performed in parallel. For example, in the case of the game shown in FIG. 8, even if the player's attack instruction input fails, if the right arm toy body type information is successfully input, the determination that the attack instruction input has been successful is covered. May be.
In this embodiment, the type information is attached to all the toy bodies constituting the toy doll, but this may be attached only to some toy bodies constituting the toy doll.
