Is 0, and the partner is unable to fight message 2
38 are output.

When the player character 232 obtains the first aid box 230 as a recovery item, a physical strength recovery message 240 is output as shown in FIG. 6B, and the physical strength 236 of the teammate outside the screen is recovered. Normal battle is possible.

A fifth feature of the present embodiment is that when the number of players participating in the game is less than the expected number of game characters, a game character having no corresponding player (hereinafter referred to as a computer character) is a teammate. Even so, the game value of the computer character is also handled in the same manner as the game character operated by the player. Therefore, if the computer character belongs to the same team as the player character,
If the game value of the computer character is not 0 even if the game value of the player character is 0, the player does not go over the game.

In this way, even if the number of players who have participated in the game is less than the number of game characters expected, the players can enjoy a strategy unique to team battles, cooperative play, and the like.

4. Operation of the present embodiment Next, a detailed example of the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

Each of the flowcharts in FIGS. 7 to 10 shows a process for each inter. Although the flowchart does not explicitly show a portion for transmitting and receiving data, the communication control unit 170 transmits game information of another game device such as teammate physical strength information from another game device via the I / O port 172. Is received for each inter.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process for judging whether or not the player of his own machine is over the game. This processing is mainly performed by the game over determination unit 14 shown in FIG.
4 does.

The game over determining unit 144 determines whether the game is over until the game is over (step S10).
The process from to S40 is repeated.

If the physical strength of the player character of the own machine is 0, it is detected whether or not the physical strength of the teammate is 0 based on the game information obtained from another game machine (steps S20, S30). If all the teammates have zero physical strength, the player determines that the game is over, and if there is any one teammate whose physical strength is not zero, the player does not determine that the game is over (steps S30 and S40). .

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a physical strength recovery process by the occurrence of a resurrection event. In the present embodiment, the physical strength is calculated as a game value.
This is mainly performed by the game value calculation unit 143 in FIG.

The game value calculation section 143 repeats the processing from step S120 to step S140 until the game is over (step S110).

When the physical strength of the player character of the player's own device is 0, the occurrence of a resurrection event as described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B is detected (step S120,
S130). When the resurrection event occurs, a process of recovering the physical strength of the player character, specifically, a process of changing the physical strength value of the player character from 0 to a predetermined value is performed.

FIG. 9 shows that the physical strength value of the player character is 0.
FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating a process for restricting the movement of the player character in the case of FIG. In the present embodiment, the physical strength is calculated as a game value.
The operation is mainly performed by the operation restricting unit 146 in FIG.

The operation restriction unit 146 repeats the processing from step S220 to step S240 until the game is over (step S210).

When the physical strength of the player character of the player's own machine is 0, the operation of the player character is calculated in the limited operation mode. When the physical strength is not 0, the operation of the player character is calculated in the normal operation mode.

An operation restriction flag indicating whether the player character is in the restricted operation mode or the normal operation mode is provided, and the operation restriction unit 146 sets the operation restriction flag based on the physical strength value of the player character. Configuration may be used. Then, a configuration may be employed in which a motion calculation unit not shown in FIG. 2 calculates the motion of the player character with reference to the motion restriction flag.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a process of determining whether or not to proceed to the next game stage. This process is mainly performed by the continuous game determination unit 145 in FIG.

The continuing game determining unit 145 determines whether to proceed from the first game stage to the second game stage as follows. When the first game stage ends, it is detected whether or not the team to which the player character belongs has won (steps S310, S320). When the team to which the player character belongs wins, regardless of the physical strength value of the player character, the player determines that the player proceeds to the second game stage (step S32).
0, S330). When the team to which the player character belongs loses, the player ends the game regardless of the physical strength value of the player character (step S32).
0, S340).

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but can be variously modified.

In the present embodiment, the case where the game value is the physical strength of the player character has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it includes a value given to the game character in the form of energy, life, number of machines, and the like.

In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which, when the team to which the player character belongs clears or wins the first game stage, the player decides to proceed to the second game stage. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the configuration may be such that if there is any one teammate whose game value is not 0, the player decides to proceed to the second game stage.

When the team to which the player character belongs clears or wins the first game stage and the player whose game value is 0 advances to the second game stage, the game value of the player recovers to a predetermined value. Or the game value may remain 0. The predetermined value may be a case where the game value recovers to the initial value, or a case where the game value does not become 0 and the game value is recovered with a difference from the player who has cleared the first game stage. The game value is 0
Even if the game proceeds to the second stage as it is, there is hope that the game value will be recovered by the occurrence of the resurrection event in the second stage.

In this embodiment, a game character of a human body model has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a team forms a racing game, a racing car or the like may be the game character.

It is not necessary for the player to operate all game characters appearing in the game. For example, 2
If the number of participating players is three or less in a multiplayer game that can be played in pairs, the game character without a corresponding player is operated by the computer. That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, P1, P2, P3
Is a game character operated by the player, and C1 is a game character operated by the computer. In this case, if P1 and C1 and P2 and P3 form a team and play a match, the teammate of P1 is the game character C1 operated by the computer. However, such a case may be employed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11 (B), a case where only one player participates in the multiplayer game in which the two-to-two game can be played, that is, a case where a single player game is played. That is, in FIG. 11B, C1, C2, and C3 may be game characters operated by a computer, and only P1 may be a game character operated by a player.

Further, in the present embodiment, a case has been described as an example where each of the game devices constituting the game system individually performs a game over determination process, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, first, one of the game devices becomes a master device, the master device performs a game over determination process, and gives the result to another game device. A configuration for determining a game over may be used.

For example, the connection form of the game device in the present invention is not limited to the ring type shown in FIG. For example, the present invention can be applied to a star type as shown in FIG. 12A or a bus type as shown in FIG. 12B. For example, the master (host) may have an information storage medium containing information for data transmission / reception, game over determination processing, and the like.

The configuration of the game device of the present invention is not limited to that shown in FIG. 2, and various modifications can be made.

The present invention can be applied to a game in which a plurality of game characters form a team and compete against each other. For example, the present invention can be applied to a shooting game, a racing game, a sports game, and the like.

The present invention also relates to a home game device, a business game device, a simulator, a large attraction device in which many players participate, a personal computer,
The present invention can be applied to various game devices such as a multimedia terminal and a system board for generating a game image.
