Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the degree of putting player's feeling in a game by letting him contend with his opponent for a specified object stored in a memory card with an opponent. SOLUTION: Contending players read card information out of memory cards respectively connected to the body of a game machine. A belt possession judging section 18 judges whether both the players possess their own belts and when the belts are possessed, flags are erected at a check flag memory section separately. When both the players possess the belts, a game processing section 20 starts a battle game. When a winner and a looser is determined, a belt information reading deletion part 21 reads belt information out of the memory card of the looser to delete the belt information on the memory card of the looser. A belt information writing section 22 writes the belt information read into the memory card of the winner.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine in which opponents connect memory cards to the game machine main body, and use a memory card to play a competition game based on the data read from each memory card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a game of competing for a game using the data of a memory card, first the game players competing attach their own memory cards to the respective memory card insertion openings of the game machine body and read the contents. They are going to play against each other. After the game ends, it saves only its own data. For example, if you choose a character to play against the opponent from the memory card and win, only the time data of how many seconds you beat the opponent is saved in your own memory card, and you can compete how you can beat the opponent in a short time etc. is there.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional game machine, there is a limit in developing a game that gets more interest, and there is a demand for a game machine capable of developing a game that is more interesting. An object of the present invention is to provide a game machine using a memory card, which has a higher degree of empathy by acquiring an object indicating that the opponent has won when the game is won. is there.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, a game machine using a memory card according to the present invention uses a memory card in which opponents connect a memory card to the game machine main body and play a competitive game. In the game machine, as a result of the battle, the data about the prize stored in the memory card is transferred from the loser memory card to the winner memory card.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a game machine main body, a memory card and a plan view of a champion belt for explaining game contents of a game machine using a memory card according to the present invention. The control pad 11, which is the main body of the game machine, is connected to a CRT (not shown). On the front surface of the control pad 11, player A and B card insertion openings 13 and 14 are provided, and connector fitting portions 24 and 25 are provided below the respective card insertion openings.

The connector 12 is connected to the connector fitting portion 24, and the player A can fight against the opponent by the keypad connected to the connector 12 by a cable.
Similarly, a connector of a keypad operated by the player B is connected to the connector fitting portion 25. Memory card 15
And 16 are attached to the card insertion slots 13 and 14, respectively, and the data are read out. When the player B wins as a result of the battle, the champion belt 17 of the player A is erased from the memory card 15, and the memory of the player B is deleted. Written on the card 16.

FIG. 2 is a system block diagram showing the configuration of a game machine (control pad) using the memory card according to the present invention. This game machine can select a scenario mode for a player to win the championship belt and a title match mode in which another player bets on the championship belt to compete. In scenario mode, you can win a championship belt by playing a league match against the game console and winning the championship. Title match mode proceeds as follows. When the players turn on the power and insert the memory card of each player,
The battle game is started. The CPU 1 reads an operation program for executing a game from the program ROM 6 via the system bus 2 and starts executing the operation program. The CPU 1 reads a character from the character ROM 7, stores it in the screen memory 8 through the system bus 2, and causes the display unit 9 to display the initial screen.

On the initial screen, data is read from each memory card, and a character to fight can be selected. Each player pushes a button on the operation device (keypad) 4 and sends a selection signal through the input / output control circuit 3 to select a character. A predetermined object, that is, a champion belt (flag and data) is read from the memory cards 15 and 16, and the game can be started when the CPU 1 confirms that a flag indicating the existence of the champion belt is set. Note that the game cannot proceed if there is no champion belt on either side. The work RAM 5 is used as a work area of the CPU 1.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a part of the functions in the CPU of FIG. FIG. 4 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the game machine according to the present invention. CPU1
When the memory card information is input, the belt possession determination unit 18 determines whether or not there is a flag indicating that the user has a belt (step (hereinafter referred to as “S”) 401). If it does not exist, the process proceeds to S403. On the other hand, if the flag is present, the checked flag is set in the check flag storage unit 19 (S40).
2) and shifts to S403.

In step S403, it is determined whether or not the checks as to whether both players have the champion belt have been completed. If the check is completed and it is confirmed that both players have the champion belt, the game processing unit 20 starts the game (S404). If the check is not completed, the process returns to S401, and the belt possession determination is performed again. After the check, if at least one does not have a championship belt, S
The game cannot be started by entering the loop of 401 and S403.

The game processing section 20 receives the signal inputted by each player operating the keypad, controls the movement of the character selected by each player, and advances the game. Then, the game processing unit 20 determines whether each player wins or loses. When the decision of winning or losing is made, next S4
In step 05, the belt information reading / erasing unit 21 reads and stores the belt information of the losing player. Then, the belt information in the memory card is erased. Then, the belt information writing unit 22 writes the stored belt information in the memory card of the winning player (S406). The battle game is completed as described above.

The data of the champion belt is made up of the belt name, successive owners, characters used, game time and deciding skill. The name of the belt is the name of the loser, and you can know who won the belt. The successive owner is a record of who has the belt in the past, and the weight of the belt can be known. The character used is a record of which character (Ken (Karate), Jack (Boxing), Red Flower (Sumo) ...) won by the player. The match time is the time required to win, and the decisive technique is the technique used when the win is decided.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the movement state of the champion belt as the game progresses. Before the game, the belts A and B are stored in the memory cards 15 and 16. During the game, the belts A and B are written on the control pad 11, and a flag is set in each memory card so as to be A'and B '. After the match, the winner's memory card 15 has a control pad 11
The belt B is written from, and the data of the belt B ′ is erased from the memory card 16 of the loser.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to increase the degree of empathy for the game by acquiring a predetermined object by fighting against an opponent and winning it, protecting it, and carving its history. For example, by competing for the champion belt with other players and collecting a large number of belts, collection-like interest is added,
Furthermore, there is an effect that it is possible to increase the enthusiasm during the battle.
