DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a simulated fishing rod device according to the present invention. The fishing rod 10 operated by the player is provided with a fishing line 12 and a reel 14. Traction device 30
By controlling the force that pulls the string, it expresses the strength of the fish pull. For example, when expressing that the resistance of the fish gradually decreases, control is performed so that the pulling force of the traction device 30 gradually decreases. The direction in which the fish tries to escape is reproduced by the movement of the moving member 41 of the rocking device 40. If the fish escapes to the far right from the player, the moving member 41 of the rocking device 40 moves to the upper right.

Next, the swing device will be described in detail.
FIG. 2 is a diagram of the swing device. In the figure, reference numeral 46 denotes a movable rail. The upper end of the movable rail 46 is a timing belt 48
The lower end is attached to a slide guide 47 and can move smoothly. The moving member 41 of the rocking device 40 includes a stepping motor 3
2 and a pinion gear 34 are attached, and by combining with a rack 50 on a movable rail 46,
It can move up and down on the movable rail 46.

The fishing line extending from the fishing rod passes through a guide 42 to the traction device 30. Moving member 4
1 expresses the moving direction of the fish by freely moving on a plane, and expresses the pulling of the fish by the tension from the towing device 30.

[0015]

Next, a fishing game apparatus using a simulated fishing rod apparatus according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a fishing game apparatus using the present invention. A seat vibration device is installed below the seat 110. In front of the seat 110, a television monitor 130 and a speaker 132
And outputs video and audio according to the situation according to a command from the control unit. The player's input is a controller 12 simulating a fishing rod shown in FIG.
Start from 0. The controller 120 includes the rod body 10,
A reel 122, a start button 124, a select button 126, and the like are provided. The two buttons are illuminated switches, and are configured to illuminate only when an input from the player is received. After the player sits in the seat and inserts a coin, the start button 1
Pressing 24 starts the simulation.

The first thing the player does is to select points. A map of the fishing spot is shown on the monitor screen,
A plurality of points are shown on the map. The player selects one point from among them. Each time the select button is pressed once, the cursor moves to the next point. Therefore, if the cursor is moved to the desired point and the start button is pressed, the point is selected.

When a point is selected, movement to that point is automatically performed. The player does not need to perform any operation, and the scene on the monitor screen changes automatically, and the seat vibrates to match.

When the point is reached, it is time to start fishing. Since a plurality of fishing baits are displayed on the monitor screen, the bait to be used is selected with the select button, and determined with the start button. Then the monitor screen switches, and the character in the form of a player is on the fishing boat,
The appearance of baiting is shown. Then, when the character utters a voice saying "Do you want to start wobbly?", Fishing is started.

The player cannot perform a fishing rod insertion operation as in actual fishing. After the orientation of the fishing rod has been determined, pressing the start button deems that the fishing rod has been inserted in that direction. At that time, the character on the monitor screen performs an operation of swinging and throwing a fishing rod.

After a while, the towing device 30 starts to pull the fishing line. This means that the fish was caught. On the screen, the character also emits a sound such as "Oh, it took." The player winds a reel, swings a fishing rod left and right, and enters an operation of catching a fish. It is required that the reel be wound with an appropriate force with respect to the pulling force from the traction device. If the control unit determines that the reel winding force is too strong, the fishing line may break. In that case,
By increasing the force of the traction device to pull the fishing line and, after reaching the peak, suddenly turning off the fishing line pulling force, it can be expressed that the line has broken. At that time, a disappointed character appears on the screen, winding up the broken thread.

When the control unit determines that the fish is caught by winding the reel with an appropriate force, an image of the fish caught from the water surface is displayed on the monitor screen. Finally, the fishing results are announced and the simulation is over. At that time, the ranking is determined according to the type and size of the fish caught. When ranked higher, the screen shifts to a name entry screen. Select the alphabet with the select button and enter the initials with the start button. The advertisement screen displayed when there is no user of the game device displays the figure of a character with a satisfying expression after catching a fish, an image of the fish caught, and data (weight, type of fish, etc.) of the fish caught. People's initials are screened repeatedly.

[0022]

By adopting such a configuration, the player can experience the direction in which the fish escapes and the strength of the pull in a more compact form than the conventional game apparatus and with easy control. In addition, since only one fishing line needs to be used, the possibility of the line becoming entangled is reduced, and the effect that maintenance can be easily performed is also provided.
