SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to make it possible to select a genre for each question so that it is more flexible and does not become unfair when a game is played by a plurality of people. It is to provide a quiz game machine that allows selection of genres.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a quiz game machine according to the present invention is a quiz game machine of a type in which questions are divided into genres, and a plurality of genres are displayed on the screen and each question is asked.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a quiz game machine capable of selecting genres according to the present invention. When the game machine is activated by the player's operation, the CPU 1 reads the operation program for executing the quiz game from the program ROM 6 via the system bus 2 and starts the execution of the program. A character is read from the character ROM 7 and image data is stored in the screen memory 8, and a screen for starting the quiz game is displayed on the CRT. The player operates the buttons and the like of the operation device 4 according to the instruction on the screen or the voice. Input signals from the buttons and the like of the operation device 4 are sent to the CPU 1 via the input / output control circuit 3. Work RAM 5 is C
It is used as a work area of PU1. The player can select a genre each time one question is asked, and the game ends when a predetermined number of questions are answered.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the functions of the CPU 1. Here, the special mode is set until the roulette starts and stops rotating and answers a predetermined number of questions, and other operations are set as the normal mode. The CPU 1 causes the mode switching unit 11 to switch the mode to the special mode, and causes the roulette rotation start / stop unit 12 to rotate the roulette on the screen (S201). The roulette on the screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 4, for example. Eight genres of English, romance, music, adventure, fairy tales, animals, plants, and chemistry are displayed, and each genre is lit in order for a certain period of time to indicate the timing for selecting that genre.

The counter 13 starts counting simultaneously with the start of roulette rotation, and the button input check unit 14 checks whether or not a stop signal is input from the operating device 4 (S).
203). When the stop signal is input, the roulette rotation start / stop unit 12 stops the roulette at the input timing (S205). When the stop signal is not input and the counter value from the counter 13 exceeds 10 seconds (S204), the roulette is stopped at the timing. A number is added to each genre on the roulette wheel. For example, when music is selected, it is “2”, so the genre selecting unit 15 selects music. Next, the quiz questioning unit 16 issues one of the quizzes 13 to 18, which is a music genre, based on Table 1 (S20).
6).

[Table 1]

When the player answers the question, the correctness determination section 17 determines whether the question is correct (S207), and the already-questioned question counting section 18 counts the number of questions and gives a predetermined number of questions (e.g., 8 questions). It is determined whether or not it has reached (S20
8). When the number of questions reaches a predetermined number, control is passed to the game task and the special mode is ended (S20).
9). If the number of questions has not reached the predetermined number, the process returns to S201, and the roulette rotation start / stop unit 12 rotates the roulette to select the next genre. It should be noted that even if the number of questions is not reached, the game can be ended at the time when the number of errors reaches a predetermined number. Although the example in which the roulette is used for the genre selection has been described above, it is also possible to select the genre by a display other than the roulette.

[0009]

As described above, the present invention provides an unprecedented quiz game machine in which a genre can be selected one by one in order to carry out a predetermined number of questions. Therefore, if the genre is adopted in the quiz, the quiz game machine can be realized in which the player can select the knowledge field to be confirmed and can make the player more interested. Also, when performing with multiple players,
Unlike the conventional continuous quiz from fixed genres, each player can select genres in order for each question,
The effect is that you can play equally.
