This game apparatus is a stand-alone type, that is, a type of racing game machine in which a player plays a game alone, and is not capable of playing against players of other racing game machines.
[0009]
The game progresses through arithmetic processing performed by the CPU 1 based on programs and various data read from the ROM 2, and is input by the player operating the steering 41 provided on the operation unit 4, the accelerator 42, the brake 43, and the like. Various game developments are made according to the operation signals to be played.
[0010]
In this racing game apparatus, at the first stage after the game starts, the vehicle type displayed on the display device can be selected as the car that the player drives. These functions will be described with reference to FIG.
[0011]
FIG. 2 shows a flowchart when a single player plays a game.
When the game is started, an image of a certain car is brightly highlighted in the center of the screen of the display device 6, and a solicitation display for selecting a car type such as “Choose Car” is displayed at the top of the screen. The
Here, if the currently displayed vehicle matches the vehicle type desired by the player, the vehicle type is determined by stepping on the accelerator 43, the vehicle type is not changed, and the game is started as it is. A predetermined drawing process for progress starts.
[0012]
If the player desires a different vehicle type from the vehicle displayed first, when the steering wheel 41 is turned, a plurality of different vehicle types are displayed in turn on the screen. If the accelerator 43 is stepped on when displayed, the vehicle type is determined to that and the displayed vehicle is changed to the vehicle type.
[0013]
In addition, when canceling the vehicle type once determined and changing to another vehicle type, by stepping on the brake pedal 43, the steering 41 can be rotated again to switch and display the other vehicle types in order. When the desired vehicle type is displayed, a new vehicle type can be determined by stepping on the accelerator 42 as before.
[0014]
Although the selection of the vehicle type by the player is completed by the above operation, on the basis of this selection, the apparatus according to the present invention is based on a predetermined program, and the opponent vehicle (ghost car) having the same performance as the vehicle type selected by the player. ) Is automatically selected. In other words, a competition vehicle having a performance equivalent to the vehicle type selected by the player is automatically selected from a plurality of types of vehicles that are pre-ranked according to performance, and the player automatically selects the competition vehicle that is automatically selected.

Here, if the car currently displayed matches the car type desired by one of the players, the car type is determined by the player stepping on the accelerator 43. No change is made, the game is started as it is, and a predetermined drawing process for progressing the game is started.
[0017]
However, if one of the players desires a vehicle type different from the vehicle displayed first, when the steering wheel 41 is turned, a plurality of different vehicle types are displayed on the screen. Therefore, if the accelerator 43 is stepped on when the desired vehicle type is displayed, the vehicle type of the one player is determined to that, and the vehicle type initially displayed is changed to the selected new vehicle type.
[0018]
If so, the other player is solicited to select from among a plurality of types of vehicles that are pre-ranked according to performance, the vehicle type having the same performance as the vehicle type previously selected by the one player. Is made. That is, a solicitation display for selecting a car type such as “Choose Car” is continuously displayed on the upper part of the display screen of the other player, and at the center of the screen, it has the same performance as the car type previously selected by one player Several cars are displayed so that they can be switched, and the other player can determine the desired car type from among them by stepping on the accelerator 43.
[0019]
Thus, if the player is a multiple, vehicle type one player in response to the performance of the models previously selected, the selectable models of other players, the one player selected previously By limiting the number of cars to those with the same performance as the race, the race will be performed on equal terms, so both players can compete with each other's pure driving technique.
[0020]
