1. Configuration of Game Device FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the game device of the present embodiment. Here, a case where the present invention is applied to an arcade game machine for business use will be described as an example.

  The game apparatus 1 is configured as a game apparatus that executes a pusher game in which a virtual medal (an example of a pseudo game medium, an example of a pseudo medal) is played as a video game in a game field (game space, object space) including a pusher table. Is done. In the game apparatus 1, the game is started on condition that an actual medal (or coin) is inserted, and the medal is paid out according to the game result.

  The game apparatus 1 includes a housing 10 that stores a processing unit (computer), and a display 20 that is provided on the top of the housing 10 and displays a game image (game screen). The display 20 displays a game image representing a game field and a pseudo game medium (virtual medal, item) or character on the game field.

  On the upper surface of the housing 10, a gun-type controller 30 simulating the shape of a gun and a slot 40 for inserting medals are provided. Further, a payout outlet 50 through which medals are paid out is provided on the side surface of the housing 10. Note that the game apparatus 1 can also be configured so that two or more players can play a game simultaneously. In this case, the game apparatus 1 has gun-type controllers 30 for the number of people who play simultaneously.

When a player inserts medals into the insertion slot 40, the game starts, and virtual medals of the number corresponding to the number of inserted medals are given to the player. For example, one virtual medal may be given to one inserted medal, or four virtual medals may be added to one inserted medal. When the player performs an operation of pulling the trigger of the gun-type controller 30, a virtual medal is released from the front side of the screen toward the game field on the game screen. The gun-type controller 30 is rotatably mounted around the support shaft 32 so that the player can select the virtual medal discharge direction (discharge position).

2. Functional Block FIG. 2 shows an example of a functional block diagram of the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. Note that the game device of this embodiment may have a configuration in which some of the components (each unit) in FIG. 2 are omitted.

  The game apparatus 1 includes a medal detection unit 150, an operation unit 160, a processing unit 100, a storage unit 170, a medal payout unit 180, a display unit 190, and a sound output unit 192.

  The medal detection unit 150 is a sensor that detects a medal inserted into the insertion slot 40 and outputs a detection signal to the processing unit 100.

  The operation unit 160 (gun-type controller 30) is used by the player to input operation information, and includes an operation detection unit 162 and an angle detection unit 164. The operation detection unit 162 detects that the trigger of the gun-type controller 30 has been pulled, and outputs a detection signal to the processing unit 100. The function is realized by a switch for switching between an energized state and a non-energized state. can do. The angle detection unit 164 detects the rotation angle of the gun-type controller 30 (rotation angle around the support shaft 32), and outputs information (angle information) according to the rotation to the processing unit 100. This can be realized by a variable resistor or the like built in the gun-type controller 30 or the support shaft 32.

  The storage unit 170 stores programs and various data for causing the computer to function as each unit of the processing unit 100, and also functions as a work area of the processing unit 100. The function can be realized by a hard disk, a RAM, or the like.

  The medal payout unit 180 is a device that pays out medals stored in the housing 10 to the payout port 50 based on a control signal from the processing unit 100.

  The display unit 190 (display 20) outputs an image generated by the processing unit 100, and its function can be realized by an LCD, a CRT, or the like.

  The sound output unit 192 outputs the sound generated by the processing unit 100, and its function can be realized by a speaker or the like.

  The processing unit 100 (processor) performs various processing such as game processing and image generation processing based on detection signals, programs, and the like from the medal detection unit 150 and the operation unit 160. The functions of the processing unit 100 can be realized by hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), and programs.

  The processing unit 100 includes a game processing unit 110, a medal payout control unit 112, an image generation unit 120, and a sound generation unit 130.

The game processing unit 110 is a process for starting a game when a game start condition is satisfied, a process for advancing a game, a process for calculating a game result, a process for ending a game when a game end condition is satisfied, etc. I do. The game processing unit 110 releases a pseudo game medium (virtual medal, item) to the game field based on an operation input from the operation unit 160, and uses an object (for example, a pusher table) that repeats reciprocation at a predetermined position in the game field. Then, a game process is executed for moving the released pseudo game medium toward a predetermined area and causing the player to acquire the pseudo game medium moved to the predetermined area as a video game. The game processing unit 110 determines the discharge position (release direction) of the pseudo game medium based on the rotation angle of the gun-type controller 30 when the trigger of the gun-type controller 30 is pulled, and based on the determined discharge position. A process of releasing the pseudo game medium to the game field is performed.

  In particular, the game processing unit 110 according to the present embodiment performs control to cause the character on the game field to perform an operation that interferes with the acquisition of the pseudo game medium by the player when a predetermined disturbance condition is satisfied. For example, the game processing unit 110 may cause the character to perform an action of moving the pseudo game medium on the game field as an action that hinders the acquisition of the pseudo game medium, or erases the pseudo game medium. The character may perform an action or an action of changing the pseudo game medium to another pseudo game medium. In addition, the game processing unit 110 may cause the character to perform an action of moving the pseudo game medium to the outside of the game field or an area for house gain as the action of moving the pseudo game medium. The character may be allowed to perform an action of moving the medium in a direction away from the predetermined area. Further, the game processing unit 110 gives (injects) an item to the game field when the game situation of the pusher game satisfies a predetermined privilege granting condition, and the game situation of the pusher game satisfies a predetermined disturbance condition. If the condition is satisfied, control may be performed to cause the character to perform an action that hinders the movement of the item on the pusher table.

  Further, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not a predetermined character exclusion condition is satisfied based on the position where the pseudo game medium is released, and if the character exclusion condition is satisfied, the game processing unit 110 Process to exclude from the field. For example, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not the released pseudo game medium has hit the character, and subtracts the character's physical strength value (hit point) when it hits, so that the physical strength value of the character becomes 0. If it is determined that the character exclusion condition is satisfied.

  Further, the game processing unit 110 performs a process of returning the pseudo game medium moved by the character to a position before the movement or a position where the character is excluded when the character exclusion condition is satisfied. Also good.

  Further, the game processing unit 110 may perform a process of changing the discharge position of the pseudo game medium when the obstruction condition is satisfied.

  In addition, the game processing unit 110 calculates a payout rate based on the number of the pseudo game media released to the game field and the number of the pseudo game media acquired by the player, and based on the calculated payout rate, the game processing unit 110 calculates the payout rate. It may be determined whether the condition is satisfied. Specifically, the game processing unit 110 determines that the interference condition is satisfied when the payout rate is higher than a predetermined value.

  Further, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not the obstruction condition is satisfied based on a period during which the pseudo game medium is not released to the game field (a period when the operation of the trigger of the gun-type controller 30 is not performed). You may judge. Specifically, the game processing unit 110 determines that the disturbance condition is satisfied when the period is longer than a predetermined value.

  Further, the game processing unit 110 may determine that the obstruction condition is not satisfied during the attract mode.

  The medal payout control unit 112 controls the driving of the medal paying unit 180 according to the processing result of the game processing unit 110, and performs control for paying out the number of medals determined by the game processing unit 110 from the medal paying unit 180. . Specifically, the medal payout control unit 112 performs control for paying out from the medal paying unit 180 the number of medals corresponding to the pseudo game medium moved to a predetermined area of the game field.

  The image generation unit 120 performs processing for generating an image (game image representing a game field) based on various processing (game processing) performed by the processing unit 100, and outputs the generated image to the display unit 190. The function can be realized by hardware such as a drawing processor (GPU) or a program. The image generated by the image generation unit 120 may be a so-called two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image.

3. Next, the method of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen (game image) generated by the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. The game screen GI corresponds to the display screen of the display 20.

  The game screen GI shown in FIG. 3 includes a pusher table PT, a fixed wall SW, a fixed table ST, a drop opening FM (an example of a predetermined area), a house gain area HA, and a background area BA. Is displayed. The game screen GI displays a virtual medal VM and an item IT placed on the pusher table PT and the fixed table ST.

  The pusher table PT reciprocates with a predetermined stroke in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in the figure) along the upper surface of the fixed table ST, and pushes out the virtual medal VM and the item IT existing on the fixed table ST to the front side in the figure. . Further, by the reciprocating movement of the pusher table PT, the fixed wall SW pushes the virtual medal VM and the item IT existing on the pusher table PT to the front side in the figure. That is, the reciprocating movement of the pusher table PT moves the pseudo game media (virtual medal VM, item IT) on the pusher table PT and the fixed table ST toward the drop opening FM.

  When the pseudo game medium falls into the drop opening FM, the dropped pseudo game medium is given to the player, and the number of medals corresponding to the dropped pseudo game medium is paid out. Also, the pseudo game media assigned to the player is stored as a pseudo game media held by the player, and when there is an operation input for paying out medals, the number of games corresponding to the pseudo game media held by the player You may make it pay out a medal. When the pseudo game medium falls into the house gain area HA, the pseudo game medium is not given to the player.

  A plurality of enemy characters EC are arranged in the background area BA, and each enemy character EC moves around the background area BA in the left-right and front-back directions. In the background area BA, a physical strength gauge GA indicating a physical strength value (hit point) of each enemy character EC is displayed in association with each enemy character EC.

  The player can release the virtual medal VM to the game field by pulling the trigger of the gun-type controller 30, and attack the enemy character EC by causing the released virtual medal VM to hit the enemy character EC. can do.

In the background area BA, an aiming marker SC indicating the position (release position) at which the released virtual medal VM arrives is displayed. The player rotates the gun-type controller 30 around the support shaft 32 to aim. The target can be determined by moving the marker SC in the left-right direction. When the player pulls the trigger of the gun-type controller 30, the virtual medal VM is released from the front side of the screen toward the aiming marker SC.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, when the virtual medal VM released to the game field hits the enemy character EC, the physical strength gauge GA of the enemy character EC decreases by a predetermined amount. The virtual medal VM that hits the enemy character EC falls on the pusher table PT. Further, a new pseudo game medium (virtual medal VM, item IT) may be generated with a predetermined probability at the time of hit. The released virtual medal VM may be dropped on the pusher table PT only when the enemy character EC is hit, or the released virtual medal VM is released regardless of whether or not the enemy character EC is hit. All of the medals VM may fall on the pusher table PT.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the physical strength gauge GA of the enemy character EC becomes 0 due to the hit of the virtual medal VM, the enemy character EC falls and disappears. When the enemy character EC is defeated, a new pseudo game medium (item IT in the example shown in FIG. 4B) is generated, and the generated virtual medal VM or item IT is arranged on the pusher table PT.

  In addition, when a specific enemy character (an enemy character to be a lottery target) is defeated among a plurality of enemy characters EC, a lottery process is executed. As a result of the lottery process, when “virtual medal payout” is determined as the winning combination, the number of virtual medals VM corresponding to the winning combination is paid out to the table (pusher table PT, fixed table ST). In addition, when “item payout” is determined as the winning combination (an example in the case where the game situation satisfies a predetermined privilege granting condition), the type of item IT corresponding to the winning combination is paid out to the table.

  The multiple types of items IT include a “treasure box item” corresponding to a predetermined number of virtual medals, a “weapon item” for enhancing the release of a pseudo game medium, a “bonus item” for making a game advantageous, etc. .

  When the “treasure box item” falls to the drop opening FM, the number of virtual medals VM corresponding to the treasure box item is given to the player. Further, when the “weapon item” falls to the drop opening FM, the release of the pseudo game medium is strengthened by a predetermined number of times. For example, when the trigger of the gun-type controller 30 is pulled after the “weapon item” has fallen on the drop opening FM, the virtual medal VM is released simultaneously in three directions and attacks a plurality of enemy characters EC simultaneously (see FIG. 5), a pseudo game medium having a higher attack power than the normal time is released, and the amount of decrease in the physical strength gauge when hitting the enemy character EC is increased from the normal time. Further, when the “bonus item” falls to the drop opening FM, a virtual medal having a size larger than the normal virtual medal VM appears on the table or a plurality of virtual medals VM are vertically arranged according to the type of the bonus item. It appears on the table while being stacked in the direction, or the lateral wall HW that covers the house gain area HA appears on both sides of the table for a certain period of time (see FIG. 6).

  When all the enemy characters EC on the background area BA are defeated, the process proceeds to the next stage where a new enemy character EC appears. Then, after moving to the final stage through several stages and defeating the boss character appearing in the final stage, a large amount of virtual medals VM are paid out and the game is cleared. It is also possible to read the player's IC card or the like at the start and end of the game, manage the game progress status of each player with the server, and take over the game status at the end of the previous play to execute the game.

Here, in the game of the present embodiment, when the game situation satisfies a predetermined disturbance condition, an obstructing character (an example of a character) that obstructs the acquisition of the pseudo game medium (virtual medal VM, item IT) by the player appears. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the disturbing character DC appears on the table (pusher table PT, fixed table ST), and as shown in FIG. 7B, the pseudo game medium (FIG. 5B In the example shown in (), the item IT) is to be taken away. That is, the disturbing character DC moves along the movement path MP with the pseudo game medium, and moves the pseudo game medium outside the game field (outside the game screen). Instead of the movement of moving the pseudo game medium out of the game field, the disturbing character DC may be moved to move the pseudo game medium to the house gain area HA, or the pseudo game medium is moved away from the drop opening FM. The disturbing character DC may be caused to perform a movement in the direction. That is, the obstructing character DC performs an operation of obstructing the movement of the pseudo game medium toward the drop opening FM due to the reciprocating motion of the pusher table PT. The disturbing character DC may be a character reserved in the background area BA, or a new disturbing character DC may appear.

  The player can prevent the movement (disturbance) of the pseudo game medium by the disturbing character DC by attacking the disturbing character DC by releasing the virtual medal VM. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, when the disturbing character DC appears (the disturbing condition is satisfied), the aiming marker SC is displayed on the table instead of the background area (release). Position is changed). In other words, the player can easily aim for the disturbing character DC on the table by rotating the gun-type controller 30 and moving the aiming marker SC in the left-right direction.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the player pulls the trigger of the gun-type controller 30 to release the virtual medal VM and the released virtual medal VM hits the disturbing character DC, the physical strength gauge GA of the disturbing character DC is set. Decrease by a predetermined amount. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the physical strength gauge GA of the disturbing character DC becomes 0 (a character exclusion condition is satisfied) due to the hit of the virtual medal VM, the disturbing character DC falls down and disappears (from the game field). Excluded). At this time, the disturbing character DC drops the item IT it has on the spot. That is, the pseudo game medium moved by the disturbing character DC returns to the position where the disturbing character DC is excluded. Note that the pseudo game medium moved by the disturbing character DC may be returned to the position before the movement.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, by introducing a technique that does not exist in the conventional pusher game that causes the character on the game field to perform an operation that hinders the acquisition of the pseudo game medium, the game's interest is improved. Can be made. Further, according to the present embodiment, by performing an operation of releasing the pseudo game medium (virtual medal VM), the disturbing character DC is excluded from the game field, and the pseudo game medium moved by the disturbing character DC is set in the game field. Therefore, it is possible to strongly give the player a motive for releasing the pseudo game media (a motive for consuming many pseudo game media).

  In the present embodiment, the disturbing character DC appears in a specific stage among the plurality of game stages. That is, when the stage is shifted to the specific stage, it is determined that the obstruction condition is satisfied (the game situation satisfies a predetermined obstruction condition), and the obstruction character DC is made to appear.

In addition, when the payout rate is calculated based on the number of pseudo game media released to the game field and the number of pseudo game media acquired (provided to the player), and the calculated payout rate exceeds a predetermined value The obstructing character DC may be made to appear as the obstructing condition is satisfied. In this way, even if the player has acquired many pseudo game media, the player can be given a motivation to release the pseudo game media.

  Further, a period during which the pseudo game medium is not released to the game field (a period from when the trigger of the gun-type controller 30 is detected until the next trigger is detected) is a predetermined value. In the case where the disturbance character is exceeded, the disturbance character DC may be made to appear as the disturbance condition is satisfied. In this way, it is possible to give the player a motivation to release the pseudo game medium in a situation where the pseudo game medium has not been released for a while.

  Further, when the remaining number of releasable pseudo game media (pseudo game media possessed by the player) is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the disturbing character DC may appear, assuming that the disturbing condition is satisfied. In this way, it is possible to give a player a motivation to insert medals in a situation where the remaining number of pseudo game media is reduced because no actual medals are inserted in the game device.

  Further, during the attract mode in which no game play is performed, it is possible to prevent the disturbing character DC from appearing because the disturbing condition is not satisfied. In this case, since the pseudo game medium is taken away by the obstructing character DC during the attract mode, when the next player starts the game, the pseudo game medium is hardly left in the game field. This can be prevented.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the disturbing character DC is made to perform the movement of moving the pseudo game medium as the action of disturbing the acquisition of the pseudo game medium has been described. However, the action of erasing the pseudo game medium is performed on the disturbing character DC. Alternatively, the disturbing character DC may be caused to perform an action of changing the pseudo game medium to another pseudo game medium. For example, the disturbing character DC may perform an action of changing the pseudo game medium to a pseudo game medium having a lower value than the pseudo game medium (for example, changing the item IT to the virtual medal VM).

4). Processing Next, an example of processing of the game device of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the game processing unit 110 performs control to move each pseudo game medium (virtual medal VM, item IT) on the game field toward the drop opening FM (step S10). In addition, the game processing unit 110 performs control to move and move each enemy character EC in the background area BA.

  Next, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not a predetermined disturbance condition is satisfied (step S12). For example, it is determined that the obstruction condition is satisfied when the game stage is shifted to a specific game stage, when the payout rate exceeds a predetermined value, or when there is no operation input for a predetermined period or longer. If it is determined that the interference condition is not satisfied (“N” in step S12), the process proceeds to step S18.

  When it is determined that the obstruction condition is satisfied (“Y” in step S12), the game processing unit 110 controls the obstruction character DC on the game field to perform an operation of moving the pseudo game medium out of the game field. Is performed (step S14).

Next, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not there is an operation input (step S16). That is, it is determined whether or not the operation detection unit 162 has detected that the trigger of the gun-type controller 30 has been pulled. If there is no operation input (“N” in step S16), the process proceeds to step S26.

  If it is determined that an operation input has been made (“Y” in step S16), the game processing unit 110 determines the pseudo game medium release position (release direction) based on the rotation angle detected by the angle detection unit 164. Control is performed to release the pseudo game medium to the game field based on the determined release position (step S18).

  Next, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not the pseudo game medium released to the game field has hit the disturbing character DC or the enemy character EC (step S20), and determines that it has hit (step S20). In “Y”), a process of subtracting the physical strength value (hit point) of the hit disturbing character DC or enemy character EC is performed (step S22).

  Next, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not the physical strength value of the disturbing character DC or the enemy character EC has become 0 (step S24), and determines that the physical strength value has become 0 (“Y” in step S24). ”), Control is performed to exclude the disturbing character DC or the enemy character EC from the game field (step S26). In addition, when the excluded disturbing character DC is in a state of being moved on the pseudo game medium, control is performed to return the pseudo game medium to the position where the disturbing character DC is excluded. When it is determined that the pseudo game medium has not hit the disturbing character DC or the enemy character EC (“N” in step S20), and when it is determined that the physical strength value is not 0 (“N” in step S24). ”), The process proceeds to step S26.

  Next, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not the pseudo game medium has been dropped (moved) into the drop opening FM (step S28), and if it is determined that it has been dropped ("Y" in step S28), A process of giving the dropped pseudo game medium (the dropped virtual medal VM, the number of virtual medals VM corresponding to the dropped item IT) to the player is performed (step S30). At this time, the medal payout control unit 112 may perform control to pay out from the medal paying unit 180 a number of medals corresponding to the dropped pseudo game media. When it is determined that the pseudo game medium has not fallen into the drop opening FM (“N” in step S28), the process proceeds to step S32.

  Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not to continue the processing (step S32). When the processing is continued (“Y” in step S32), the processing unit 100 proceeds to the processing of step S10, and the processing after step S10. repeat.
