(Team Battle (Team Battle) Mode)
There is a team battle mode in which a plurality of players form a team and fight in a group as a kind of game by the game system of the present embodiment. For example, 10 players are divided into 2 groups, play one by one and play 5 times, and fight for victory or defeat as a team. Twenty players may be divided into two groups, play one by one, play 10 times, and fight for victory or defeat as a team. This team battle is suitable as a competition in a tournament where many players gather at a venue such as an amusement center.

  In the group battle (team battle) mode of the present embodiment, the battle points for each battle are not simply the number of wins and losses in each battle, but are given to each battle point in the battle. The total of points is used to determine the team's victory or defeat. As a result, rather than simply deciding whether to win or lose each team as a team, it is possible to enjoy the game until the end of the team battle without knowing the outcome. Each opponent can not only win and lose, but even if he loses, he can make a fight that focuses on getting battle points.

(Battle point)
The detail of the battle point in the team battle in the game system of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  The general guidelines for calculating the battle points are as follows.

  First, the battle points are evaluated by points according to the used dinosaurs and the battle results, and the winning team is determined by the total team of battle points.

  Also, as a formula for calculating the battle point, we have a formula for winning and a formula for losing, and even if the dinosaurs and battle results used are the same, , Battle points to earn are different. For example, when the team loses, the team gains more points to produce a close battle as a team battle.

  Also, the battle points are changed with reference to the remaining physical strength, the strength of the dinosaur, the play during the battle, and the like.

  The battle points when winning are parameters such as remaining physical strength, initial physical strength, deadly technique finalization, perfect bonus, number of consecutive wins, number of continuous icons, strength of your dinosaur, strength difference between opponent and yourself etc. And multiplying these by a predetermined constant.

  The battle point is determined for each parameter as follows.

  Regarding the ratio of the remaining physical strength, the more remaining physical strength, the more bonus points are given.

  As for the Special Action Bonus, bonus points will be given if the final work is decided by the Special Move.

  As for the perfect bonus, bonus points will be given when all the jankens are won and the perfect bonus is awarded.

  As for the number of consecutive wins, bonus points will be awarded if you win consecutively.

  Concerning the number of consecutive icons, bonus points will be given in the sense that if you reward Aiko, you have a good game.

  As for the strength of your dinosaur, bonus points will be given according to the strength of the dinosaur you use. Use weak dinosaurs to make points easier.

  As for the difference in strength between your opponent and your dinosaur, bonus points will be given if your opponent's dinosaur is stronger. The greater the difference in strength between your opponent and your dinosaur, the more bonus points you will receive.

  The battle points when losing are, for example, Aiko's final bonus, consecutive victory number, consecutive icon number, the strength of your dinosaur, the difference between your opponent and your strength, etc. Multiply and ask.

  For Aiko's final bonus, bonus points will be awarded if you die at the end of your death.

  As for the number of consecutive wins, bonus points will be awarded if you win consecutively.

  Concerning the number of consecutive icons, bonus points will be given in the sense that if you reward Aiko, you have a good game.

  As for the strength of your dinosaur, bonus points will be given according to the strength of the dinosaur you use. Use weak dinosaurs to make points easier.

  As for the difference in strength between your opponent and your dinosaur, bonus points will be given if your opponent's dinosaur is stronger. The greater the difference in strength between your opponent and your dinosaur, the more bonus points you will receive.

You don't know the victory or defeat until the final team battle, you can enjoy the game until the end.

(Multiple dinosaur setting / Dinosaur strength limit control)
In a tournament where a large number of players gather at a venue such as a game center, an attempt has been made to enable a special game that cannot be performed normally.

  For example, only one dinosaur can be set in a normal one-player game or two-player game. The same applies to each game in the team battle described above, and only one dinosaur can be set. Therefore, as a special rule, a game is proposed in which a plurality of dinosaurs can be set on the 1P side and the 2P side, respectively, so that a plurality of dinosaurs can fight each other.

  However, if a plurality of dinosaurs can be set, a player who possesses a strong dinosaur card sets all dinosaurs as strong dinosaurs. If the special rule that a plurality of dinosaurs can be set in this way is applied as it is, there is a problem that a player who possesses a strong dinosaur card is overwhelmingly advantageous, and interest in winning or losing is reduced.

  Therefore, in the game system of the present embodiment, a plurality of dinosaurs can be set, and in a game game in which a plurality of dinosaurs are allowed to fight each other, the strength that can be set for the plurality of dinosaurs is limited.

  A specific example of the dinosaur strength restriction control by the game system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a strength limit control table used in the dinosaur strength limit control by the game system of this embodiment, and FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an operation sequence of the dinosaur strength limit control by the game system of this embodiment. FIG. 16 is a view showing a game screen in the dinosaur strength restriction control by the game system of the present embodiment.

(Strength limit control table)
The strength limit control table 500 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the game apparatus 10 used in the game system of the present embodiment, a strength limit control table 500 is prepared in order to execute a dinosaur strength limit game. The strength limit control table 500 is stored in the system memory 102 of the information processing apparatus 100.

  The strength limit control table 500 is a dinosaur head number field that stores the number of dinosaur heads that can be set in the dinosaur strength limit game, a strength limit field that stores strength limit values, and a first head that stores the strength of the first dinosaur. Strength field, second strength field that stores the strength of the second dinosaur, third strength field that stores the strength of the third dinosaur, and total strength field that combines the strengths of all the dinosaurs Is provided.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, if “3” is stored in the number of dinosaur heads column and “3000” is stored in the strength limit column, in this dinosaur strength limit game, three dinosaurs are stored. Can be set, and the total strength of the three dinosaurs is 3000 or less.

(Game data table)
In this embodiment, since a plurality of dinosaurs can be set in one battle, the dinosaur data tables 301 and 302 shown in FIGS. 7 (a1) and (a2) and the purpose data shown in FIGS. 7 (b1) and (b2). Tables 311 and 312 are prepared for the number of dinosaurs to be set. For example, if three dinosaurs can be set, the dinosaur data tables 301 and 302 shown in FIGS. 7 (a1) and (a2) and the purpose data tables 311 and 312 shown in FIGS. 7 (b1) and (b2) Prepare three for each.

(Dinosaur strength limit control process)
The process of the dinosaur strength restriction control in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 15 and the game screen of FIG.

  In the process of dinosaur strength restriction control, the process for setting a dinosaur is different, and the other processes are the same. In the case of the team battle according to the present embodiment, the processes of steps D10 to D15 and the processes of steps D16 to D20 in the flowchart of FIG. 12 replace the processes shown in the flowchart of FIG. In the case of a single-player game, the processing in steps B05 to B11 in FIG. 9 replaces the processing shown in the flowchart in FIG. In the case of a two-player game, the processing in steps C05 to C11 and the processing in steps C16 to C22 in FIG. 10 replace the processing shown in the flowchart in FIG.

  First, for example, in the opening scene of a team battle, the game device 10 displays the number of dinosaur heads that can be set and the dinosaur strength limit value on the display monitor 16 as shown in FIG. 16A (step E00). ). In the lower part of the game screen of FIG. 16A, “[Meeting method] 10 people, 1 team, 3 teams vs 3 heads” and “[Strength limit] Dinosaur strength up to 3000” are displayed. This informs the player that three dinosaurs can be set in one battle and that the total strength of the three dinosaurs to be set is limited to 3000 or less. The display in step E00 may be displayed at any stage as long as it can be notified to the player.

  Next, the game apparatus 10 displays on the display monitor 16 a screen that prompts scanning of the first dinosaur dinosaur card (step E01). And the game device 10 waits for the input of the dinosaur card 20 as a game card.

  When the player causes the card reader 13 to read the dinosaur card 20 (step E02), whether or not the first dinosaur exceeds the preset strength limit based on the dinosaur card 20 read by the card reader 13 Is determined (step E03).

  In this embodiment, since the total strength of the three dinosaurs is limited to 3000 or less, if the strength of the first dinosaur is 2000, the total strength of the remaining two dinosaurs is The value must be 1000 or less. However, since the minimum value of the strength of the dinosaur is set to 1000, it is inevitable that the strength limit value will be exceeded no matter which dinosaur is selected for the second or third head.

  In such a case, it is determined that the strength limit is exceeded when the first dinosaur card is read, and as shown in FIG. "" Scan different dinosaur cards! "Is displayed, and in the center of the game screen, the 1P side or 2P side is surrounded by a solid line so that the player who currently sets the dinosaur can be seen. 2P is surrounded by a broken line. Then, the game process returns to step E01.

  If the strength of the first dinosaur is 1000, the total strength of the remaining two dinosaurs must be 2000 or less. Since the minimum value of the strength of the dinosaur is 1000, it is possible to prevent the strength limit value from being exceeded by the dinosaur selected for the second and third heads.

  In such a case, it is determined that the strength limit has not been exceeded, and the first dinosaur is determined. Then, “1000” is stored in the strength field of the first head of the strength limit control table, and based on the card number of the confirmed dinosaur card 20, the dinosaur name, attribute, deadly technique of the card number from the dinosaur card table 220, The strength, technique, and model data are read out and stored in the dinosaur name column, attribute column, special technique column, strength column, technique column, and model data column of the first dinosaur data table 301 on the 1P side.

  Next, the game apparatus 10 displays on the display monitor 16 a screen that prompts the user to scan a work card for the first dinosaur (step E04). And it waits for the input of the work card 50 with respect to the 1st dinosaur as a play card.

  When the player causes the card reader 13 to read the work card 50 (step E05), a work for the first dinosaur is set based on the work card 50 read by the card reader 13 (step E06). That is, based on the card number of the work card 50 read by the card reader 13, the technique name, attribute, technique strength, compatibility, technique, and model data of the card number are read from the work card table 210. It is stored in the technique name column, attribute column, technique strength column, compatibility column, technique column, and model data column of the first work data table 311.

  Next, the game apparatus 10 displays on the display monitor 16 a screen that prompts scanning of the second dinosaur dinosaur card (step E07). And the game device 10 waits for the input of the dinosaur card 20 as a game card.

  When the player causes the card reader 13 to read the dinosaur card 20 (step E08), based on the dinosaur card 20 read by the card reader 13, whether or not the second dinosaur exceeds a preset strength limit. Is determined (step E09).

  In this embodiment, there is a restriction that the total strength of the three dinosaurs is 3000 or less, and if the strength of the first dinosaur is fixed at 1000, the strength of the remaining two dinosaurs The total value of must be 2000 or less. If the strength of the second dinosaur is 1500, the strength of the third dinosaur must be 500 or less. However, since the minimum value of the strength of the dinosaur is 1000, it is inevitable that the strength limit value will be exceeded no matter which dinosaur is selected for the third head.

  In such a case, when the second dinosaur card is read, it is determined that the strength limit is exceeded, and as shown in FIG. 16 (b), “Strength is over” at the bottom of the game screen. "" Scan different dinosaur cards! "Is displayed, and in the center of the game screen, the 1P side or 2P side is surrounded by a solid line so that the player who currently sets the dinosaur can be seen. 2P is surrounded by a broken line. Then, the game process returns to step E07.

  If the strength of the second dinosaur is 1000, the strength of the third dinosaur must be 1000 or less. Since the minimum value of the strength of the dinosaur is 1000, it is possible to prevent the strength limit value from being exceeded by the dinosaur selected as the third head.

  In such a case, it is determined that the strength limit has not been exceeded, and the second dinosaur is determined. Then, “1000” is stored in the strength field of the second head of the strength limit control table, and based on the card number of the confirmed dinosaur card 20, the dinosaur name, attribute, deadly technique of the card number from the dinosaur card table 220, The strength, technique, and model data are read and stored in the dinosaur name column, attribute column, special technique column, strength column, technique column, and model data column of the second dinosaur data table 301 on the 1P side.

  Next, the game device 10 displays on the display monitor 16 a screen that prompts the user to scan a work card for the second dinosaur (step E10). And it waits for the input of the work card 50 with respect to the 2nd dinosaur as a play card.

  When the player causes the card reader 13 to read the work card 50 (step E11), a work for the second dinosaur is set based on the work card 50 read by the card reader 13 (step E12). That is, based on the card number of the work card 50 read by the card reader 13, the technique name, attribute, technique strength, compatibility, technique, and model data of the card number are read from the work card table 210. It is stored in the technique name column, attribute column, technique strength column, compatibility column, technique column, and model data column of the second head data table 311.

  Next, the game apparatus 10 displays on the display monitor 16 a screen that prompts the user to scan the third dinosaur dinosaur card (step E13). And the game device 10 waits for the input of the dinosaur card 20 as a game card.

  When the player causes the card reader 13 to read the dinosaur card 20 (step E14), based on the dinosaur card 20 read by the card reader 13, whether or not the third dinosaur exceeds a preset strength limit. Is determined (step E15).

  In this embodiment, there is a restriction that the total strength of the three dinosaurs is 3000 or less, and the strength of the first dinosaur is 1000 and the strength of the second dinosaur is 1000. . For this reason, the strength of the third dinosaur must be 1000 or less.

  If the strength of the third dinosaur is greater than 1000, it is determined that the strength limit is exceeded, and as shown in FIG. 16B, “The strength is over!” At the bottom of the game screen. “Scan for different dinosaur cards!” Is displayed, and in the center of the game screen, 1P is surrounded by a solid line so that the player who is currently setting the dinosaur is on the 1P side or 2P side. Is displayed with a broken line. Then, the game process returns to step E13.

  If the strength of the third dinosaur is 1000, it is determined that the strength limit is not exceeded, and the third dinosaur is determined. Then, “1000” is stored in the strength field of the second head of the strength limit control table, and based on the card number of the confirmed dinosaur card 20, the dinosaur name, attribute, deadly technique of the card number from the dinosaur card table 220, The strength, technique, and model data are read out and stored in the dinosaur name column, attribute column, special technique column, strength column, technique column, and model data column of the third dinosaur data table 301 on the 1P side.

  Next, the game device 10 displays on the display monitor 16 a screen that prompts the third dinosaur to scan the work card (step E16). And it waits for the input of the work card 50 with respect to the 3rd dinosaur as a play card.

  When the player causes the card reader 13 to read the work card 50 (step E17), a work for the third dinosaur is set based on the work card 50 read by the card reader 13 (step E18). That is, based on the card number of the work card 50 read by the card reader 13, the technique name, attribute, technique strength, compatibility, technique, and model data of the card number are read from the work card table 210. It is stored in the technique name column, attribute column, technique strength column, compatibility column, technique column, and model data column of the third head data table 311.

  After the three dinosaurs on the 1P side are determined in this way, the three dinosaurs on the 2P side are determined in the same manner.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the game apparatus 10 displays a screen on which three dinosaurs on the 1P side appear on the display monitor 16 (step D22), and then the three dinosaurs on the 2P side appear. An appearing screen is displayed (step D23).

  Next, the game device 10 displays on the display monitor 16 a battle scene in which the three dinosaurs on the 1P side and the three dinosaurs on the 2P side fight (step D24).

  Next, the Janken game is played by the 1P-side player and the 2P-side player (step D25). Based on the result of the Janken game, the game apparatus 10 attacks the display monitor 16 by attacking one of the three dinosaurs on the 1P side and one of the three dinosaurs on the 2P side. A scene in which the dinosaur wins is displayed (step D26).

  As described above, according to the game system of the present embodiment, a plurality of dinosaurs can be set, and in a game game in which a plurality of dinosaurs are allowed to fight each other, the strength that can be set for a plurality of dinosaurs can be limited. As a result, players who have strong dinosaur cards can maintain their interest in winning and losing without being overwhelmingly advantageous.

(Password card system)
In a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a game content program is stored in a ROM and provided. By installing this ROM in the casing of the game apparatus 10, the game apparatus 10 executes a game.

  Usually, since it is not easy to exchange the ROM storing the game content program, the game content cannot basically be changed after delivery of the game apparatus 10. However, there is a strong demand to partially change the game content even after the ROM is delivered, for purposes such as upgrading the game content or conducting a seasonal campaign.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game content program is provided in the ROM, it is executed step by step, such as a part executed in the first stage, a part executed in the second stage, a part executed in the third stage, etc. All the programs to be stored are stored in the ROM in advance, and are provided as the game apparatus 10 equipped with the ROM.

  When changing the game content, the game apparatus provider distributes a password card with a bar code similar to the game card to a store manager such as a game center by mail or the like. The store manager changes the game content by causing the game device 10 to read the distributed password card.

  The game device provider can simply upgrade the game content, perform seasonal campaigns, etc. simply by distributing the password card to the store manager. The store manager can change the game content by a very simple method of causing the game device 10 to read the password card.

(Password card)
