Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a game machine using a video display device, and particularly to a video game machine suitable for games such as cockpit type or amplifier type air battle games, submarine games, and various chase games.

Gaming machines that utilize video display devices that reproduce video signals stored on a suitable medium to produce images on a cathode ray tube screen are well known and widespread.

For example, in the case of an air combat game, conventional videoon-isplay devices of this kind move and display images of ground scenery recorded on a video disc, videotape, laser disc, etc. on a screen. , Images of enemy planes and your own plane output from a control unit including the CPU are displayed on the same plane as the scenery on the ground, etc., and by stepping on the beta of the game machine, the images of the ground displayed on the screen are displayed. The speed of movement of the scenery etc. is increased, and by moving the control stick left and right, the position of the own airplane projected on the same plane as the above-mentioned ground scenery is changed by the force of moving the control stick. was.

However, as mentioned above, as you press down on the pedal, the movement speed of the ground scenery displayed on the screen increases, and when you turn off the control stick, the screen is simply displayed on the same plane as the ground scenery. The problem was that if only the position of one's own airplane changed, it lacked realism and one would quickly grow tired of it.

The present invention has been made from the viewpoint of iron balls, and its purpose is to provide highly realistic commercial products with commercial value that can further stimulate the interest of game players. It aims to provide gaming machines. In other words, if we take an air combat game as an example, the height difference between the ground and the plane is displayed on the screen, and when a missile is fired from an enemy plane, it is possible to The purpose of the present invention is to provide a video game machine with a display that gradually becomes larger as the player approaches the airplane. □ 1+Niji, the above purpose is to include a game controller operated by the player and a memory that records data necessary for the game, and to respond to the output of the controller and to A central control unit that generates the necessary 5 video signals to display the progress of the game according to a prescribed program, and an image that shows the progress of the game in response to the video signals ordered by the central control unit. An image element whose position can be controlled at will within a certain range by the player via the controller according to the rules of the game, and the image element whose position can be controlled within a certain range, in an image that appears violently from a video monitor played by the player. In a video game machine that composes a game based on a relative relationship with image elements that appear in a background other than the above, at least at times uncontrollable, a video game machine that displays images that include image elements that can be directly controlled by the controller. 1, a second cathode ray tube for displaying an image such as a background other than image elements that can be directly controlled by the controller, and a &J A virtual image of the image generated on the first cathode ray tube surface is generated at a position parallel to the second cathode ray tube surface, and the image generated on the second cathode ray tube surface is seen through, and both images are combined. This is achieved by providing a half mirror that allows viewing.

Hereinafter, the details of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of the video game machine according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing its principle, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an image of a landscape, etc. FIG. The images displayed on the second cathode ray tube are combined on a half mirror!
It is an explanatory diagram of the island.

In Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, 1 is a cockpit type game machine body, 2 is a partition, 3 is an overhead panel, and 4 is an image of the ground scenery 4a, etc. 5 is a first cathode ray tube on which is displayed, 5 is a second cathode ray tube on which an image containing image elements directly controlled by a controller 6 is displayed, 5a is the own airplane, 5b and 5b are enemy airplanes, 6a and 6b is an operation button provided on the controller 6, 7 is a bezel, 8 is a half mirror, 19 is transparent glass, 10 is smoked glass, and 11 is a sheet.

The game machine main body 1 is provided with a partition 2 that accommodates a first cathode ray tube 4, a second cathode ray tube 5, and other equipment, and a seat 1-H on which the player sits. The controller 6 to be operated and the part where the petal unit etc. are arranged are published.

The third cathode ray tube 4 displays uncontrollable images, such as the scenery 4a on the ground, at least from time to time.
The second cathode ray tube 5 displays an image including image elements that allow the player to directly control the position of his/her airplane 5a within a certain range via the controller 6 according to the rules of the game.

It should be noted that the player cannot directly view images such as the ground scenery 4d displayed on the first cathode ray tube 4 because they are blocked by the moon and 2; The image of my own flight +Ju 58 etc. displayed on the screen is also blocked by the half mirror 8 and cannot be viewed directly.

Therefore, the player sees the image of the ground scenery 48 etc. displayed on the first cathode ray tube 4 reflected by the half mirror 8, and also sees his own image displayed on the second cathode ray tube 5. airplane 5d
The images will be viewed through the half mirror 8.

Thus, on the half mirror 8, an image of the ground scenery 48 etc. displayed on the first cathode ray tube 4 and an image of the own airplane 58 etc. displayed on the second cathode ray tube 5 are displayed. They are composited and displayed. As shown in FIG. 2, the state is substantially the same as that in which the first cathode ray tube 4 is placed behind the second cathode ray tube 5 with a gap of one foot. The ground view 4d is displayed on the first cathode ray tube 4 at an interval of approximately IQ cm from the lower blade of the image of the self-flight TA5A etc.
These images are combined and displayed.

Moreover, the half mirror 8 is arranged at a certain slope so that it becomes lower as it goes toward the force of the partition plate 2, and the image synthesized and projected on the half mirror 8 is displayed on the operation panel. It is projected in a manner that it becomes more human-like as it moves towards the front, and conversely, it is projected as if it becomes smaller as it moves from the operation part in the direction of warp 1.

Then, when you press the control button 6a on control 1''-ra 6, a missile is launched from a distance of 1m 5a, flies over the second cathode ray tube 5, gradually becomes smaller and disappears, and the missile disappears. Was the missile fired from enemy plane 5b his own 7Ht? It appears larger as it approaches 1lJ115a. Furthermore, when another magnetic operation button 611 is pressed, a bomb is thrown from the own airplane 5a. The above bomb is inserted from above the second cathode ray tube 5 to the first cathode ray tube 4.
Then, the light was dropped onto Coote Nod, the area displayed on the first cathode ray tube 4.

Since the video game machine according to the present invention is created as if it were a dud 1v farm, the reality is
Since it is possible to display rich images, it is possible to have an extremely high quality video game machine that can further increase the interest of players playing games. .

Note that the present invention is not limited to the diagonal embodiment. That is, for example, although this example is an air combat game,
It may be a space war game, a submarine game, or a similar game. In the case of the above-mentioned submarine game, the first CRT displays the ocean as the background, while the second CRT displays the player's own submarine and the enemy's position, whose positions etc. are controlled by the player's operation of the controller. If you display a submarine, it will appear as if it is moving underwater on the half mirror. Furthermore, if the magnetic force of either the first or second cathode ray tube is movably supported along its central optical axis and configured to move forward and backward according to the development of the game, more realistic images can be displayed. You can force it. Furthermore, depending on the content of the game, it is recommended that the half mirror be installed at an angle so that it becomes higher toward the operating section. In addition, the angle of inclination given to the half mirror, the method of progressing the game, the mounting position of the controller, operation buttons, and petals, etc. can be freely changed within the scope of the purpose of the present invention, and the present invention does not cover them. It encompasses all of .
