Handle proceeding to step 13 then, wherein carry out authorize-processing that the player is provided with.In this step, any player (four players in the present invention) who participates in the labyrinth combat game is set to the player in the mobile labyrinth of energy (authorizing the player who moves), and this describes hereinafter.Each player is set for authorizing the player who moves.

In step 14 afterwards, carry out mobile phase and handle.Carry out the mobile phase processing according to the flow chart that is presented among Figure 12.When the beginning mobile phase was handled, host CPU 32 proceeded to step 31, wherein gave image control circuit 71 instructions, caused basic display unit 11 to show that labyrinth image 150 is one that shows in Figure 17.Labyrinth image 150 has the right to show display part 150a, and (player 1,2,3 and 4), it shows that there is or does not exist mobile right in four players, or attack order priority, display part, labyrinth 150b, it shows the image in the labyrinth of a plurality of wall parts of configuration, wherein a plurality of personages' 151 image (image of execution target of the present invention) is presented in the labyrinth.And labyrinth image 150 has timer display part 150c, and it shows the time of mentioning later that is provided with, with the remaining time that the time of first passage uses, encourage the input of player's executable operations, life display part 150d, with explain display part 150e, show the how explanation of mobile wall part.In the 150c of timer display part, host CPU 32 causes that basic display unit 11 shows, the digital value that shows when the time of first passage increases reduces.

Next step handles proceeding to step 32, and wherein host CPU 32 begins to measure the time of first passage.The time of first passage points out that can carry out the operation input from the player points out to determine the wall part (mobile wall part) that (input time started) will move at screen, carries out the time of moving input or decision operation input passage to the arrow that player's actual touch is wished.In step 33 afterwards, host CPU 32 determines whether the mobile wall part is determined.If determine the mobile wall part, handle and proceed to step 34, if do not have, handle proceeding to step 37.In step 34, host CPU 32 determines whether the time of first passage is equal to or less than first the time (10 seconds in this example) is set.If the time of first passage is provided with in the time first, handle proceeding to step 35, if not, handle proceeding to not execution in step 35 of step 36.In step 35,32 pairs of defence of host CPU parameter " adds " 1.This defence parameter is one of action parameter of the present invention, and digital value is big more, improves manyly more for the protection capability from other personage's attack, and the player can be favourable so proceeds the labyrinth combat game.In step 36 afterwards, host CPU 32 is provided with definite wall and partly is the mobile wall part, determines personage's action (mobile wall).

On the other hand, proceed to step 37 if handle from step 33, whether the time of determining first passage is in the event horizon of determining the mobile wall part (15 seconds in this example).If the time of first passage is in moving the event horizon of determining, handle and get back to step 33, if not, handle and proceed to step 38, can use the random digit of extracting from sample circuit 36 therein, any wall that is provided with at random partly is the mobile wall part.Handle then and proceed to step 39, therein, be presented at the labyrinth image that mobile wall part back obtains, and finish mobile phase thereafter and handle.In this way, can in the event horizon of determining the mobile wall part, (15 seconds) carry out determining of mobile wall part, if but the preceding execution of boundary (in 10 seconds) between then, the defence parameter " adds " 1.

Next step is handled and proceeds to step 15, carries out motion stage therein and handles.Carrying out motion stage according to the flow chart that is presented at Figure 13 handles.

When motion stage was handled beginning, host CPU 32 proceeded to step 41 instruction figure image forming control circuit 71, and caused basic display unit 11 to show the labyrinth image 160 of motion stage shown in Figure 180.Labyrinth image 160 is also just like various display parts (the right table display part 160a of labyrinth image 150, display part, labyrinth 160b, timer display part 160c, life display part 160d), wherein personage 161 is placed in the labyrinth, the labyrinth image on purpose illustrates display part 160e, and it has the demonstration of explanation request message of destination and the confirming button of destination.

Next step handles proceeding to step 42, and host CPU 32 begins to measure the time of second passage therein.The time of second passage is pointed out can put rules into practice his personage's the operation input (input time started) of destination (explanation of destination) from the player, by touching destination explanation display part 160e, carry out the time that passage is imported in the operation of proceeding to play to the player.In step 43 afterwards, host CPU 32 determines whether to have stipulated the destination, if stipulated the destination, handles proceeding to step 44, does not proceed to step 48 if handle.In step 44, show that the personage moves to the image (not showing in the drawings) that the Show Color on the floor of destination changes from its home position, the blast destination handles proceeding to step 45.Then, it determines whether the player touches the confirming button (determining the destination) of destination explanation display part 160e.If touched button, handle proceeding to step 46, do not proceed to step 48 if handle.In step 46, host CPU 32 determines whether the time of second passage is equal to or less than second the time (15 seconds in this example) is set.In this step, if the time of second passage is to be provided with in the time second, handles and proceed to step 47, proceed to not execution in step 47 of step 49 if not processing.In step 47,32 pairs of attack parameters of host CPU " add " 1.As to defend the parameter attack parameter also be one of action parameter of the present invention, and digital value is big more, and attacking ability strengthens more, and the player can be favourable so proceeds the labyrinth combat game.

On the other hand, when processing proceeded to step 48, it determined that the time of second passage is whether in the event horizon that the destination is determined (30 seconds in this example).If the time of second passage is in the event horizon that the destination is determined, handle and get back to step 43, if not, the motion stage processing finishes (in this case, the personage does not move and waits in the home position).In addition, in step 49, host CPU 32 is determined personage's action (moving), and is shown the image that the personage moves according to the decision of making in the step in front in the labyrinth.Then, the motion stage processing finishes.In this way, can in the event horizon that the destination is determined, (30 seconds) carry out determining of destination, if but carry out (in 15 seconds) in the time of advent before the boundary, attack parameter " is added " 1.Should be noted that is having-and during the motion stage of portrait mode of figure handles, can use special card (carry out random motion with remote port card, can pass wall, etc.) conduct in nothing-portrait mode of figure, can not obtainablely to award with through-wall card personage.

Get back to Figure 10, the motion stage processing subsequent is handled and is proceeded to step 16, and host CPU 32 determines whether to produce fight therein.Here,, handle proceeding to step 17 if produce fight (appearing in the situation of scope in the labyrinth that can begin to attack) a plurality of personages, if but do not have fight and produce, handle proceeding to step 20.

In step 17, carry out the fight choice phase and handle.Here, host CPU 32 instruction figure image forming control circuits 71, and cause basic display unit 11 to show that fight selects images 170 (have the right to show display part 170a, the personage is placed in the labyrinth) as of showing in Figure 19.Select image 170 with reference to this fight, each player (four players in this example) selects the adversary that attacks, selects the operation technique card and does not use, and the technology card shows each personage's technology, also selects which technology card of use.Should be noted that the attack order of being installed by each personage is based on the player of conversion-mandate.

In the processing of fight choice phase, can select technology card (, offering the personage as award) at game over technology card according to the record of fight.Having-situation of portrait mode of figure in, the more eurypalynous technology card that provides and the technology card of more options more are provided the situation of comparing nothing-portrait mode of figure.In addition, having-portrait mode of figure in, setting up provides the probability of the rare card that produces useful prize information (for example, producing special technique) to be higher than nothing-portrait mode of figure.Particularly, have-the portrait mode of figure recreation, the various technology that comprises rare card is provided, can use their probability to increase, can obtain bonus of the present invention thus if the player end user plays as 40.

In this case, host CPU 32 running gives device for bonus of the present invention, searches for the choice of technology table (for example, the table of the random number of the technology card that will select of association) of first pattern.When the choice of technology table of the choice of technology table of first pattern relatively and second pattern, the scope that choice of technology table in front is wideer than the choice of technology table foundation of back about the random number of rare card.

Carrying out fight in step 18 afterwards handles.Particularly, regulation striking capabilities and protection capability, and according to its figure information, each personage's firing area is set thus when whether considering the operation technique card, are determined each personage's game result by relatively attack parameter in the fight personage and defence parameter.In this case, sub-display 12 shows fight image 180, the scene of personage 181a that it shows as shows in Figure 20 and fight 181b.

Next step is finished the battle, and carries out the score computing.In this step, the result who handles according to the fight of step 18 (becomes adversary's personage's type, triumph and failure), life adds deduct, give the personage or from the personage deprive title or sacred jewel (having-portrait mode of figure, performance according to the personage gives various titles as " champion ", " great master ", " full-time coach ").In step 20 afterwards, it determines whether to set up termination condition.If set up termination condition (mark is not more than 0), finishing has-the portrait game processing.If do not set up (mark is greater than 0), handle and get back to step 13, and the step above repeating.To mark 0 or player are still less arranged, finish the labyrinth combat game, replace this player, host CPU 32 participates in fight as another personage.Should be noted that,, recover card or insert coin, recover a certain amount of life if abiotic player uses though do not show.

As described above, be provided with in the time, each mobile phase in game machine 1 is handled and motion stage is handled when determining mobile wall part or destination, by to the addition process of action parameter with attack parameter with defend the parameter addition, promote striking capabilities and protection capability thus.And, when the personage fights, use these parameters to determine which personage wins or failure, the process of control labyrinth combat game.For this reason, the addition process of action parameter is a kind of excitation, allows each player promptly to determine mobile wall part or destination.Therefore, the player there is no need to delay the operation input, can prompting operation early import, and can urge the process of whole recreation.

And,

timer display part

150c and 160c show that respectively mobile phase is handled and motion stage is handled, the number that the time of the passage that the time that their demonstrations are passed with measurement begins reduces gradually so, just might be encouraged player's executable operations input as far as possible early.

Particularly, as in game machine 1, when playing the type of play of a plurality of players' participations, if a player delays operation, other player must wait for, causes pressure and dejected thus.Yet this situation can not take place in game machine 1, and each player can have the feature of real bewitching recreation, and this feature obtains by the labyrinth combat game.

(nothing-portrait game processing)

Carry out nothing-portrait game processing by flow chart subsequently, this is duplicate with the flow chart that is presented at having among Figure 11-portrait game processing.When relatively do not have-the portrait game processing with have-during the portrait game processing, difference is that nothing-portrait game processing does not have step 12.

In nothing-portrait mode of figure, end user's picture is not played, and when receiving game data and being stored among the RAM33, if response signal comprises portrait ID (if the portrait of authentication is arranged), extracts the figure information of corresponding portrait ID.

Therefore, because execution in step 12 not has-portrait mode of figure unlike above-described, the player does not have right to choose to dress and dungeon, so with have-content that the labyrinth combat game of portrait mode of figure is relatively played is limited.In addition, the selectivity of the various cards that can select in step 15 and the technology card that can select in step 17 is limited.

In addition, corresponding fight result's title gives the personage in step 19, even but in nothing-portrait mode of figure. and obtain good fight result, give title, " ronin ".

In this way, not only when the end user as 40 and also when end user not as 40 the time, in game machine 1, play and can continue.When the end user as 40 the time, interests that acquisition can not obtain as 40 time as end user not, so the player can have the intention of collector's picture can provide by the characteristic of using the labyrinth combat game fully to obtain the real bewitching feature of playing.When the end user plays the labyrinth combat game as 40, the advantage of the state that depends on game progress is arranged especially, therefore increase the personage's of match people picture mark, promote striking capabilities and protection capability, and give title, end user's picture of encouraging the player to repeat so, and to satisfy the player be possible.

(recreation begins to handle)

Begin to handle by the recreation that is presented at the flow chart performing step 1 subsequently among Figure 14.Figure 14 is the flow chart of the running that shows that recreation begins to handle, and Figure 15 is the flow chart of the running that shows that people's deposits yields is handled.

Begin to handle in case start recreation, host CPU 32 proceeds to step 61, carries out message output and handles, and instruction figure image forming control circuit 71 causes basic display unit 11 to show predetermined message (requests coins is inserted, and request ID card inserts and the input of request password).Then, execution is in the processing of step 62 and step 63.

In order to begin recreation, the player inserts coin and inserts slot 6 to coin, inserts ID card 17 to card slot 18, uses operating unit 19 to enter password.Then, be input to host CPU 32 from coin sensor 16a, import the card information that is stored on the ID card 17 from card reader 18a from the signal that detects the coin that inserts.In addition, enter password, when carrying out these all inputs, handle proceeding to step 63 from operating unit 19, host CPU 32 command communication control sections 21 operation communication processing sections 22 therein, the card information of reading and the password of input are transferred to street machine server 2.

In step 64 subsequently, receive the response signal of mentioning later from central server group 5 before, host CPU 32 is waited for, when receiving response signal, handles proceeding to step 65.In step 65, judge according to response signal whether finish authentication (registration) after, provide instruction and cause basic display unit 11 to show selecting nothing-portrait mode of figure or have-portrait mode of figure and any various selectable personages' selection shields.In step 66, host CPU 32 is waited for before touching touch-screen 11a, if touch, handles proceeding to step 67, and it determines whether to select to have-portrait mode of figure in step 65 therein.When in this step, select to have-during portrait mode of figure, handle and proceed to step 68, if do not have, handle proceeding to step 69.When processing proceeds to step 68, carry out people's deposits yields of mentioning later and handle.In step 69, because end user's picture not, the input data of mentioning later are provided with the data (instruction of nothings-portrait people deposits yields) of people's deposits yields instruction, processing proceeding to step 70 in arbitrary situation.Particularly, in step 67, to very first time end user picture with when the portrait of authentication being arranged and using another portrait of the portrait that is different from authentication, if the player selects to have-portrait mode of figure, handle proceeding to step 68, executor's deposits yields is handled therein.In addition, though,, handle proceeding to step 69 if the player selects nothing-portrait mode of figure when player's end user's picture and when having a portrait player not use the portrait of authentication not.

When processing proceeds to step 68, handle according to the flow chart host CPU 32 executor's deposits yields that are presented among Figure 15.When this handles beginning, handle proceeding to step 81, carry out the output of setting up the portrait request message therein and handle.Here, host CPU 32 instruction figure image forming control circuits 71 cause basic display unit 11 to show that claimants as 40 message that are installed in the foundation on the authenticating unit 15, read portrait ID and (for example, " please authenticating unit set up the basis of portrait on operating unit.When beginning the authentication of portrait, authenticating unit lights.So up to the lamp please not mobile portrait that goes out ").In step 82, host CPU 32 is waited for before finishing the reading of portrait ID.When according to the information player who shows authenticating unit 15 being set up portrait 40, authenticating unit 15 is read the portrait ID of the portrait 40 that is stored in IC chip 44, and portrait ID imports host CPU 32.Then, handle proceeding to step 83,32 pairs of inputs of host CPU data establish people's deposits yields explanation data of the portrait ID that reads therein.In step 84 subsequently, read the having of the portrait ID of portrait 40 (portrait setting)-portrait sign predetermined data (" 1 " in this example) are set pointing out authenticating unit 15, when execution in step 84, finish people's deposits yields and handle.

When processing proceeds to step 70, host CPU 32 command communication control sections 21 operation communication processing sections 22, transmission input data are to street machine server 2.When step 70 finished, Exit Game began to handle.

In this way, design games machine 1, therefore when the realization portrait is provided with, to have-the portrait sign sets up predetermined data.In case realize the portrait setting, someone is transferred to database server 103 by street machine server 2 at the input data of deposits yields explanation data, portrait ID is related to the intrinsic player ID of player that carries out setting in database server 103, be stored in then in the ID management document, be used for determining whether authentication of portrait.In addition, determine portrait result's signal in response of authentication from database server 103 transmission by the ID management document whether, the player can select the portrait of corresponding authentication portrait to play the labyrinth combat game so.Yet, if do not finish the portrait setting, do not carry out-setting of portrait sign.Therefore, in order to play-the labyrinth combat game of portrait mode of figure, even portrait authentication, authenticating unit 15 is provided with portrait 40, and to read portrait ID be necessary.When realizing being provided with, in database server 103, produce the figure information of the corresponding portrait ID that reads, even portrait 40 is not provided with again thus, can play the labyrinth combat game.

On the other hand, at game machine 1, street machine server 2 in the central server group 5, about above-described processing, is carried out processing with the order that is presented at Figure 16.Figure 16 is presented at game machine 1, street machine server 2, the precedence diagram of the operating sequence that realizes in the central server group 5.

In game machine 1, to street machine server 2, application data-downloading is then in step 63 transmission card information etc. as described above in step 100 transmission download request.In central server group 5, processing proceeds to step 301, CPU401 in database server 103 uses from the card information and the password of game machine 1 transmission therein, and with reference to the ID management document etc., carry out the authentication process of determining whether player and portrait are registered.If registered, be defined as authentication, handle proceeding to step 302, transmission therein points out that the response signal of authenticating result is to game machine 1.In this case, in database server 103, eight game machines 1 that are installed among each street machine A and the B are carried out same authentication process.

And, in game machine 1, be transmitted in the input data that above-described step 68 shows.Then, in central server group 5, handle proceeding to step 303, game server 101 uses from the input data of each game machine 1 transmission therein, and realizes the acceptance of player's input.In addition, in step 304 afterwards, use the player's who upgrades participation information, (whether this portrait ID has the portrait ID of the new registration of authentication with the portrait ID of corresponding people's deposits yields explanation data, authentication but the portrait ID of the portrait of authentication more), realize registration or the portrait of ID management document is upgraded.In step 305 afterwards, determine player (four players in this example) as the adversary.In step 306, database server 103 extracts each player's of adversary game data, handles and proceeds to step 307, and the game data of Ti Quing is transferred to street machine server 2 therein.When receiving game data in street machine server 2, game data is transferred to each game machine 1.

Should be noted that by getting the example of portrait 40 explanation of game machine 1 is provided for the target that will read.Yet the present invention can be used to use the situation of the target that will read that is different from portrait 40.For example, can use the photo or the portrait that take out the personage, and the game card of storage id information etc. or the cassette tape of card form.The present invention provides explanation as an example with the game machine 1 that can play the labyrinth combat game, but the present invention can be used for playing the game machine of other recreation.The example of this game machine comprises can play the recreation that a plurality of players occur, and as baseball, the game machine of football therein, uses corresponding each player's portrait or cassette tape, can be played games by the cooperation of simulation whole team.

And game machine 1 equipment shows the basic display unit 11 and the sub-display 12 of game image, but discerptible basic display unit 11 and the sub-display 12 of providing.

In the superincumbent example, image display device is arranged with game machine 1, reading device, control device is carried out in recreation, and the sampled situations that bonus gives device provides explanation.Yet configurable games system (games system of the present invention) makes the device that any one game machine 1 or street machine server 2 are provided above each.In addition, can separate with street machine server 2 by providing to have with game machine 1, the equipment of the device said function above each (control appliance is carried out in the recreation that has recreation to carry out control device) disposes games system

Describe in detail as top, according to this example, provide and read the data that are stored in the object that to read, and use game machine and the games system that to play games by the image display device display image, even do not use the object that to read, do not damage the depending on or motivation of the collection of the object that will read, recreation can be proceeded.
