Further, the CPU 31 is connected to the operation unit 15 via an interface circuit (I / F) 38. CPU31 performs various processes based on the control signal from the operation part 15, and advances a mahjong game.

The ROM 32 stores various image data such as image data of each kite and battle character displayed on the display device 13, image data of the main character, and a mahjong game machine control program for controlling the flow of the entire mahjong game. ing.

The ROM 32 stores a plurality of types of name data related to the name of the main character. The player selects any name data from a plurality of types of name data stored in the ROM 32 at the start of the game. The selected name data is stored in the RAM 34, and after winning the battle with the battle character, an effect is provided in which an image and a sound are output indicating that the battle character calls the main character with the name associated with the name data. It is.

The ROM 32 stores a plurality of types of call name data relating to the name of the main character for each of the plurality of types of name data. When the above-described performance is performed, one of the plurality of call name data related to the name data selected by the player is selected according to the score of the main character when winning the battle with the battle character. The call name data is selected, and an effect is provided in which an image and a sound are output indicating that the opponent character calls the main character with the call name associated with the call name data.

In addition, the ROM 32 stores a plurality of types of effect data relating to images and sounds that are output when the above-described effects are applied, for each of the above-mentioned call name data.
This effect data includes an image showing how the battle character calls the main character by the name, image data for outputting sound, sound data, and the like.
Note that the sound data is not particularly limited, and may be audio data such as human speech, screaming, exclamation voice, music data, or the like. .
Moreover, it does not specifically limit as image data, The moving image data for displaying a moving image may be sufficient, and the still image data for displaying a still image may be sufficient.

The sound circuit 35 is connected to a sound amplifier 37 that outputs various sounds according to the progress of the mahjong game. The graphic display circuit 34 causes the display device 13 to display an image selected by a control signal from the CPU 31.

Next, the contents of a mahjong game executed by the mahjong game machine 10 will be described.
(A) Selection of Name of Main Character First, the player selects one of the names of a plurality of main characters prepared in the mahjong game machine 10 at the start of the game. At this time, the display device 13 displays a selection image that enables the selection of the name of the main character by the operation of the operation unit 15 of the player. When the name of the main character is selected by the player, during the game, an effect indicating that the opponent character calls the name of the main character is given with the name associated with the selected name.

(B) Game rules The game is cleared when the player operates the main character to play a mahjong game with the battle character and wins all three battles with the battle character.
The main character and the battle character have a predetermined score (for example, 10,000 points) at the start of the battle, and in the battle with the battle character, the score of the battle character becomes 0 point, or the main character is 3 times. If it is completed, the main character wins. On the other hand, if the score of the main character reaches 0 due to the completion of the battle character, the game is over.

(C) Favorability and normal performance When a main character wins a battle with a battle character, the favourability of the battle character with respect to the main character is divided into five levels (favorability 1 to favorability 5) according to the battle result. Is set. This favorability is for determining the name of the main character when the above-mentioned effect is given. The greater the favorability, the more the opponent character calls the main character with a name that favors the main character. The effect shown is given.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a subroutine executed in the mahjong game machine 10. This subroutine is a program for controlling a mahjong game of the mahjong game machine 10 that is executed in advance when an operation button 17f of the operation unit 15 is pressed after a predetermined coin is inserted into the coin slot 18 by the player. It is a subroutine that is called from and executed.

First, the CPU 31 executes a name selection process (step S10). When the processing of step S10 is executed, the CPU 31 causes the display device 13 to display a selection image that allows the player to select name data relating to the name of the main character.
When the selected image is displayed, the player operates the operation button of the operation unit 15 to select name data, and receives a signal from the operation unit 15 that the name data is selected. Then, the CPU 31 stores the name related to the name data of the selected main character in the RAM 34.

If the process of step S10 is performed, CPU31 will perform the process which concerns on a battle | competition with a battle character (step S12). When the process of step S12 is executed, the mahjong game proceeds in the above-described procedure, and after the 13 or 14 tiles serving as the first action of the opponent character are dealt (after the arrangement is made), the main character Or, the player who scores once until the battle character finishes or until it is determined that both players won't finish (becomes a master), the player score becomes 0 points, or the score of the battle character This is repeated until the score reaches 0 or the player finishes 3 times.
Further, in the process of step S12, the RAM 34 stores battle result data including information relating to the winning and losing in the battle between the main character and the battle character, the score obtained by the main character in the battle between the main character and the battle character, and the like. .

When the process of step S12 is executed, the CPU 31 next determines whether or not the main character has won the battle character (step S14). That is, the CPU 31 refers to the battle result data stored in the RAM 34, and as a result of the battle between the main character and the battle character being performed on the battle result data in the process of step S12 described above, It is determined whether there is information indicating that the game has won.
If it is determined in step S14 that the main character has not won the battle character (defeated by the battle character), this subroutine is terminated. At this time, the main character is defeated by the opponent character, and the game is over.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S14 that the main character has won the battle character, the CPU 31 next determines whether or not the current battle with the battle character was the first battle (step S16).
If it is determined in step S16 that the match is the first time, the CPU 31 sets the likability as 3 and stores the likability data regarding the set likability in the RAM 34 (step S20). This preference data is data that is referred to when selecting the name of the main character in the call name selection process described later. Thus, when the first battle with the battle character is won, the preference 3 is forcibly set.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S16 that the match is not the first match (the second match or the third match), the CPU 31 performs a preference setting process (step S18). In this step S18, the CPU 31 sets likability (favorability 1 to likability 5) on the basis of the score obtained by the main character in the battle with the battle character, and sets the likability data on the set favourability. Processing to be set in the RAM 34 is executed.
The process in step S18 is performed based on, for example, the favorable setting table shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a preference setting table indicating a relationship between a player's score and a set preference level.
In FIG. 5, for example, when the score acquired by the main character is 0 to 16000 in the battle with the battle character, the favorable rate is set to 1.
Further, for example, when the score acquired by the main character is 20001 to 24000 points, the preference is set as 3.
Further, for example, when the score acquired by the main character is 28001 or more, the favorable rate is set as 5.
Thus, in the battle of the battle character, the higher the score acquired by the main character, the higher the preference is set.

If the process of step S18 is executed or the process of step S20 described above is executed, the CPU 31 next executes a call name selection process (step S22). In this step S18, the CPU 31 sets a plurality of types of name data relating to the name data of the main character stored in the ROM 32, based on the favorability data stored in the RAM 34 and set in the above-described step S18 or step S20. One of the call name data is selected from among them, and the process of storing in the RAM 34 is executed.
When executing the processing of step S18 and step S22, the control circuit 30 selects one of a plurality of types of call name data stored in the ROM 32 according to the score acquired by the main character in the battle with the battle character. It functions as a selection means for selecting the call name data.
The process in step S18 is performed based on, for example, a call name selection table shown in FIG.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a call name selection table showing the relationship between the set likability and the call name of the selected main character.
For example, in the name selection process described above, when the name of the main character is selected as “Oohana”, when the preference is set as 5, the name of the main character is set as “Darling” and the preference is set as 3. When set, the call name of the main character is set as “Oohana”, and when the favorability is set as 1, the call name of the main character is set as “cass bastard”. Then, the call name data relating to the set call name is stored in the RAM 34.

Further, for example, in the name selection process described above, when the name of the main character is selected as “Suzuki”, when the preference is set as 4, the name of the main character is set as “Suzuki-kun” and the preference is set. Is set as 2, the name of the main character is set as “you”.

After executing the process of step S22, the CPU 31 next executes an output process (step S24). In step S24, the CPU 31 selects any one of the effect data from the plurality of types of effect data stored in the ROM 32, based on the call name data selected in step S22 described above and stored in the RAM 34. And the process which outputs the image and sound which show a mode that a battle character calls a main character by a name based on the selected production data is performed. At this time, the control circuit 30, the sound amplifier 37, and the display device 13 function as output means for outputting an image and a sound indicating the name of the main character based on the selected name data.
In this output process, after an image and sound indicating that the opponent character calls the name of the main character are output, for example, an image and / or sound indicating that the opponent character is talking to the main character is output. You may make it do.

When the process of step S24 is executed, the CPU 31 next determines whether or not the current battle with the battle character is the third (final) battle (step S26).
If it is determined in step S26 that it is not the third match (the first match or the second match), the CPU 31 returns the process to step S12.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S26 that this is the third match, this subroutine is terminated.

Next, an image displayed on the display device 13 of the mahjong game machine 10 when the process of step S24 of the subroutine shown in FIG. 4 is executed will be described with reference to FIG.
FIGS. 7A to 7C are diagrams schematically illustrating an example of an image displayed on the display device 13 of the mahjong game machine 10.

7A to 7C, an image showing the main character's hand gesture is displayed below the screen image, and an image showing the opponent character's hand gesture is displayed above the screen image. Has been. It should be noted that the hand of the opponent character is displayed in a manner in which the saddle faces the back side so that the content is not visually recognized by the player. Further, an image showing the discarding of the fighting character is displayed below the image showing the fighting character of the fighting character.
In the center of the screen image, an image showing the appearance of the battle character and an image (speech image) showing the dialogue spoken by the battle character are displayed.

The screen image shown in FIG. 7A is the above-described step when the name of the main character is selected as “Oohana” in step S10 of the subroutine shown in FIG. 4 and the first battle with the battle character is won. In S20, the image is displayed on the display device 13 when the likability is set as 3.
In FIG. 7A, a balloon image showing a state where the battle character “Hey, ohana” calls the name of the main character is displayed. On the lower side, a balloon image indicating the line “I didn't think you were so strong” is displayed.
Further, when the screen image shown in FIG. 7A is displayed, the sound corresponding to the above dialogue is output from the sound amplifier 37.

The screen image shown in FIG. 7B is obtained when the name of the main character is selected as “Oohana” in step S10 of the subroutine shown in FIG. 4 and the favorableness is set as 5 in step S18 described above. This is an image displayed on the display device 13.
In FIG.7 (b), the blowing image which shows a mode that the battle character "Darling" calls the name of a main character is displayed. Also, below that, there is a balloon image that shows the line “I ca n’t do it. That ’s my darling.”
When the screen image shown in FIG. 7B is displayed, the sound corresponding to the above dialogue is output from the sound amplifier 37.

The screen image shown in FIG. 7C is obtained when the name of the main character is selected as “Oohana” in step S10 of the subroutine shown in FIG. 4 and the favorable rate is set to 1 in step S18 described above. This is an image displayed on the display device 13.
In FIG.7 (c), the blowing-out image which shows a mode that the battle character "this guy" calls the name of a main character is displayed. Also, below that, a balloon image showing the line “What are you winning? What are you doing?
When the screen image shown in FIG. 7C is displayed, the sound corresponding to the above dialogue is output from the sound amplifier 37.

As described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7C, in the mahjong game machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the first battle with the battle character is won, the preference 3 is always set. When the player wins the third and third battles, his / her preference is set according to the score of the main character, and the name of the main character is selected based on the preference. The name the opponent character calls the main character is more favorable to the main character as the preference is higher. In addition, after the opponent character calls the name of the main character, the dialogue that is spoken to the main character is more favorable to the main character as the preference is higher.

As described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, in the mahjong game machine 10 according to the embodiment, when an effect is shown in which a battle character calls a main character when winning a battle with the battle character, Since the name of the main character varies depending on the score of the main character, the player knows what name the main character will be called for every 3 battles with the opponent before playing the mahjong game. There is no end. As a result, it is possible to provide an interesting mahjong game that does not get tired of the above effects even if the game is played for a long period of time.
If the main character has a large score when winning the battle with the battle character, an effect is shown in which the battle character calls the main character with a favorable name, while the score of the main character is In the case where the number is small, the emotion of the battle character is expressed according to the score obtained by the change of the name, such as an effect that the battle character calls the main character with a name that hates the main character is given. Therefore, it is interesting that the player can empathize with the main character by grasping the emotion of the opponent character, and can feel as if playing a mahjong game while talking to a woman. A mahjong game can be provided.

In the mahjong game machine 10 according to the embodiment, the player can select the name of the main character desired by the player. Therefore, the opponent character is the main character with various names related to the name of the main character selected by the player. As a result of the performance showing the state of calling, the player can more strongly empathize with the main character.

In the example described above, the case where any one of the call name data is selected from a plurality of types of call name data according to the score of the main character has been described. However, in the present invention, the call name data depends on the battle situation. As long as it is selected, it is not limited to those described above. For example, the number of times the main character or the battle character has ended, the type of the winning combination when the main character has ended, The call name data may be selected according to the number of times completed. Also, the battle result may be a battle result for one battle with the battle character, or may be a battle result for a plurality of battles with the battle character.

Further, in the above-described example, a case has been described in which an effect indicating that the battle character calls the main character by the name after the battle with the battle character is finished is provided, but in the present invention, the above-described effect is performed. The timing is not particularly limited. For example, when the main character or the battle character is finished or during the battle with the battle character, the main character or the battle character is “Kang”, “Pong”, “ The above-described effects may be given when the “chi” or “reach” operation is performed.

Further, in the above-described example, a case has been described in which an effect is given by outputting an image and sound indicating that the opponent character calls the main character by the name, but in the present invention, the above-described effect is performed only by the image. It is good also as performing, and it is good also as performing the said production only with an audio | voice.

In the above-described example, the case where the mahjong game machine is configured so that the player selects one of the names of the plurality of main characters prepared in advance in the mahjong game machine has been described. However, in the present invention, the player can input an arbitrary name desired by the player for the name of the main character, and the name associated with the input name of the main character changes according to the result of the battle with the battle character. As such, a mahjong game machine may be configured.

For example, if the name of the main character is entered as “Ito” by a player's operation, the main character name is entered as “Ito-sama”, “Ito-kun” or “Ito-chan”. The mahjong game machine may be configured such that various honorific titles are added to the name and an image indicating the name of the main character according to the battle result with the battle character is output.

In this case, when the name of the main character is input by the player's operation, name data related to the input name is stored in the RAM or the like, and a plurality of types of call name data related to the input name are newly added. Created and stored in RAM or the like. Then, according to the battle result with the battle character, one of the call name data is selected from among a plurality of types of call name data, and then an image showing the call name of the main character is based on the selected call name data. It is output to a display device or the like.

The above-mentioned battle situation is an element that constitutes the game content regardless of whether it is during the battle or after the battle, for example, the number of battles with the battle character, the main character, etc. Or the score of the battle character, the difference between the score of the main character and the battle character, the predetermined time during the battle, the time when the main character or the battle character performed the action such as reach, pong, etc., the win or loss of the battle, or a combination thereof Can be mentioned.
Moreover, the said battle | competition situation includes the battle result about one or more battle | competition.
In the above-described example, the case where the call name data is selected according to the result of one or more battles with the battle character has been described. However, in the present invention, the call name data is selected according to the battle situation with the battle character. As long as it is, it is not limited to what is selected according to a battle result, For example, call name data may be selected according to the element which comprises the game content in battle | competition.
Furthermore, the mahjong game machine is configured such that a lottery for selecting call name data is performed, and the probability that any one of a plurality of call name data is selected according to the lottery result is changed according to the battle situation. May be.

A mahjong game machine may be configured.
By doing so, there is a case where a sense of realism is increased and a player's willingness to participate in the mahjong game may be further enhanced.

Also, for example, when the main character performs a reach action when the difference in score between the main character and the opponent character is equal to or greater than a specific score, call name data having a specific favorable sensitivity (favorableness 5) is selected. When the probability that the score difference between the main character and the opponent character is less than the specific score, and the main character performs the reach action, the probability that the name data having the specific favorable sensitivity is selected The mahjong game machine may be configured to be higher.
Even in this case, as in the case described above, there is a case where a sense of reality is increased and a player's willingness to participate in the mahjong game may be further enhanced.

In the two examples described above, the main character may perform actions such as Pong, Qi, and Kang instead of the main character performing the reach action. Moreover, it is good also as a battle character performing these operation | movement by a main character.
In addition, when the main character displays a mode in which a part of the handclaw is moved to a predetermined position by performing actions such as Pong, Kang, and Qi, the type and combination of the moved heels Depending on the above, the probability that call name data having a specific favorable sensitivity is selected may be changed.

In addition, for example, during the battle, the name of the main character when the battle character calls the main character and the presentation showing the state of having a conversation (for example, useless talk) is performed. Whether the main character is moved to a predetermined position by the action of pon, kang, chi, etc., the score difference between the main character and the battle character, the battle with the battle character You may make it differ based on the frequency | count.
In addition, although the said specific favorable sensitivity demonstrated the case where it was the favorable sensitivity 5 which is the highest favorable sensitivity in the example mentioned above, of course, it is not limited to this, Favorability may be the specific sensitivities described above.
