Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the participation of a third party possible, and increase the game property in a game system such as an RPG. SOLUTION: One game system 10 generates an SOS password when a major character falls, and transmits the SOS password to another game system 20. The other game system 20 receives the SOS password, and a major character helps the original major character under conditions included in the SOS password. Then, the other game system 20 generates a revival password, and notifies the revival password to the game system 10. Then, the game system 10 receives the revival password and resumes continued processes.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game system for executing a game program in which a specific character advances an adventure or a battle, a game method, a recording medium in which the program is recorded, and the program itself.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a role-playing game (RPG), a sports game, or the like in which a specific hero advances an adventure or a battle, when the hero falls in a certain dungeon or loses a game, It is common to restart play immediately before or start the game from the beginning.

[0003]

However, in any case, the game property is low, and in particular, if the user does not know how to proceed with the play, he or she may give up or lose interest.

[0004]

As a concrete means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides one game system,
When the main character falls down, the SOS password is generated and transmitted to the other game system, and the other game system is
Upon receiving the password, the hero rescues the hero under the condition included in the SOS password, generates a revival password and informs one game system, and the one game system receives the revival password and continues. The main idea is to restart the process, and in one game system, the condition when the main character falls down is stored in the storage means, and when the process is restarted, the condition is read and applied. When the thank-you password is received, the thank-you password is transmitted to another game system, and the other game system provides a game method in which an additional requirement is to set a new condition upon receiving the thank-you password.

The present invention also provides a game system, a recording medium and a program for implementing the above-mentioned game method.

According to the present invention, since an unspecified number of third parties can be involved in the play of a particular person, the particular person can advance the game with the help of the third party. Can be made.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 2, a case where the game system 10 of the player A and the game system 20 of the player B are connected via the communication means 30 and the game progresses according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 will be described as an example. .

The game system 10 includes a game dedicated machine, a portable game machine, a personal computer, and the like, and the communication means 30 includes a cable that directly connects the game systems to each other, the Internet, and the like.

First, the player A starts executing the game program on his own game system. In the game program to be executed, the hero A clears the dungeons (dungeon 1, dungeon 2, ...) One after another.

When the main character A falls down due to an enemy attack in the dungeon 2, for example (step S1), (1) return to the beginning, (2) wait for rescue, (3) leave records immediately before that, and there are three ways. You can choose the one you like.

Here, if (2) Wait for rescue is selected (step S2), the position where the hero A falls down, the item owned (for example, a shield, a sword, etc.), the status, the appearance information of the enemy, and the dungeon generation information. Conditions such as random numbers are stored in storage means such as a memory (step S3), and the corresponding SO
An S password is generated.

Then, this SOS password is transferred to the game system 20 of the player B through the communication means 30 (step S4). This SOS password is a request for rescue from the third party, Player B.

In the game system 20, the SOS password sent from the game system 10 is acquired (step S5), and from the received SOS password,
In the game system 10, the condition when the hero A falls down is extracted (step S6), and the player B starts playing under the same condition. The same dungeon as the game system A is generated by the random number for dungeon generation extracted from the SOS password.

Meanwhile, in the meantime, in the game system 10, it is possible to start the game from the beginning, or not to be able to play at all until it is rescued.

When the player B plays and the main character B reaches the dungeon where the main character A collapses (step S
7), the main character B is the main character A in the game system 20.
To discover. When the protagonist B speaks to the protagonist A (step S8), the protagonist B has rescued the protagonist A, and at this time, the rescue flag existing in the internal memory of the game system 20 is turned on (step S8).
9).

When the rescue flag is turned on, a revival password is generated in the game system 20 and transferred to the game system 10 (step S10). In addition to the item data, the recovery password generated here includes S
A checksum corresponding to the OS password is also included.

The game system A receives the reinstated password (step S11), checks whether the checksum contained therein corresponds to the password transmitted to the game system 20, and confirms. In some cases, the fall condition stored in the storage unit is read and applied.

Further, in the game system 10, a thank-you password corresponding to the revived password is generated and transferred to the game system 20 (step S12). This thank-you password includes a checksum of the resurrection password. In the game system 20, it is checked whether or not this checksum corresponds to the resurrection password transmitted by itself, and if it corresponds, A new condition can be set by acquiring a new item as a reward that rescues the hero A (step S
13).

Then, in the game system 10,
Since the hero A was rescued by the hero B, the hero A
The game can be restarted from the time when is collapsed under the conditions at that time (step S14).

As described above, the game system 20 which is a completely different package from the game system 10 can be played in the same state as the game system 10, and the third party, B, can be involved in the play of Party A. As a result, two or more players can enjoy the game in a format that has never existed before, and the game quality can be further enhanced.

In this embodiment, the case where various passwords are exchanged between the game system 10 and the game system 20 through the communication means has been described as an example, but the two game systems are not necessarily required. It may not be connected through the communication means.

For example, in the game system 10, SO
If the S password is displayed on the screen and the password is notified to a specified or unspecified person via telephone, mail, e-mail, etc., and the notified person inputs the password into his or her own game system, the same condition will be applied. You can play with.

When the user reaches the predetermined dungeon and a recovery password corresponding to the SOS password is generated and displayed on the screen, the recovery password can be notified to the player A of the game system 10 by telephone or the like. When the player A of the game system 10 inputs the restoration password, the game can be restarted from the place where the hero A falls.

[0024]

According to the present invention, a third party including an unspecified number of persons can be involved in the play, and although the package is completely different, the involved third party is the rescued side. Since they can be played under the same conditions, the rescued party can advance the game with the help of a third party, and the rescued party can participate in the game of another person. Therefore, the game property is further enhanced on both the rescue side and the rescue side.
