SHOOTING GAME SYSTEMS {SHOOTING GAME SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a shooting game system, and more specifically, to facilitate the loading of weapons during the execution of the game, the gamers not only select the direction of the game, but also provide a realistic sound, It is about a shooting game system that can induce interest.

From arcade game machines to 3D online games, the game industry is recognized for its potential as an industry with unlimited marketability.

In the early days, game consoles were mainly used for off-line arcade game machines for children and adolescents. Since then, in the 80s, home console game consoles that connected to TV sets and operated various buttons to control games began to spread.In the mid 90s, the Internet spread rapidly, and network games or CD-based games played online. Enjoying online games is gaining great response from PC users.

With the advent of console games and online games, arcade game machines have been ignored by gamers because of their low graphics performance and the lack of variety of game programs. However, with the introduction of a single location system that allows up to two game machines of any age to be used in stationery stores, shopping centers, convenience stores, coffee shops, etc., gamers can easily play games at various places as well. By building an accessible market, arcade game companies are well on their way to overturn the recession in the game market.

Meanwhile, among arcade games, pumps that cannot be played indoors or require additional equipment, musical instruments, racing games for cars or motorcycles, and shooting games with model guns are not accessible through console games or online games. Therefore, even before the introduction of the single location system, it has been loved by gamers.

Among such arcade games, the shooting game system includes a game main body in which a game program is embedded, and an instruction means such as a model gun that is electrically connected to and communicates with the game main body. In order to enjoy the game, the player first enters coins and then selects one of several game courses. When the game begins, the model gun is loaded with virtual bullets or grenades, and the monitor of the game main body displays the number of bullets or grenades available to the player, and as the player pulls the model gun, the number of bullets or grenades is displayed. The number is small. During the game, once a loaded bullet or grenades are consumed, the gamer directs the model gun out of the monitor to load the bullet or grenades.

However, the way in which the gamers direct the model guns outside to load bullets or grenades is that the gamers who are new to the shooting game system do not know how to load the game and end the game early while finding or hesitating. It can happen. And even if the player knows how to load, it was inconvenient for beginner gamers who are not familiar with loading. In addition, the conventional method of reloading with the muzzle facing out of the screen in the situation where the game is focused on one object of the screen has been inconvenient, such as having to re aim the muzzle on the screen again after loading. .

On the other hand, in the console game or online game, the gamers select their own direction or course at the moment, and the gamers are attracted to the development of various situations according to the selection. In contrast, an arcade game has a simple program, and once a gamer starts the game, the player has no control over the length or direction, and the game is played only through the same course set by the program. Will follow manually. Of course, it is possible to select one of several game courses at the start of the game, but the number of gamers is small. Therefore, once the game starts along the selected course, the gamers cannot change directions. Therefore, if the game is executed repeatedly, the gamer will know how the game will proceed and the interest in the game will be lowered. In other words, the arcade game needs to make a program that can be elaborately developed according to the gamers' choice. As the program elaborates, the controller can control the game so that the gamers can select their own direction or course. Of course it is required.

Another drawback of such arcade games is that it is difficult to feel the vividness that can be felt through console games or online games. In addition to the fact that the program is simple and the graphics performance is poor, the arcade game machine is equipped with speakers so that the sound is output to the outside. As you hear all the sound that is output, you lose your sense of immersion or realism in the game.

Therefore, there is a need for a separate device capable of intensively listening to sound from a game machine executed by the gamer so that the gamer can be immersed in the arcade game and feel the realism.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a shooting game system that facilitates the loading of weapons when the game is executed, and enables the gamer to select the direction of the game and to provide a realistic sound.
