Game system and game machine {GAME SYSTEM AND GAME MACHINE}

The present invention relates to a game system and a game machine for competition in hitting a plurality of targets.

A so-called target hitting game in which a plurality of openings are made in the board surface of the game machine and the targets appearing from the openings are hit to compete with others for the number of targets is already known (for example, Japanese Utility Model Application) See Publication 6-83088 and Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-226238. There is also known a target hitting game prepared with a plurality of difficulty levels (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-200330).

However, there is no target hitting game as a battle game for competing with other players for the same target. Typically, only one player plays the target hitting game. When a player competes with another player for a game, the player only competes with another player for numbers such as the number of strikes and the speed at which the target is being hit. Thus, the target hitting game has a lack of sense of battle. The player cannot fully enjoy the target hitting game as a battle game unless the opponent has a game skill similar to the player. However, it is difficult for a player to compete for a game with an opponent having similar game skills as the player at the player's preferred time and preferred location.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a game system and a game machine in which a battle game according to a player's game technology is realized in a target hitting game.

A first game system of the present invention is a game system for playing a game in which a player frequently hits a target by frequently appearing at least one target from each of a plurality of openings provided on the board surface of the game machine. A strength measuring device for detecting a hit against a target for measuring the strength of the hit, and storing opponent candidate information in which a plurality of opponent candidate information, each of which displays capability information about the hit of the target and becomes the opponent candidate information of the player, is stored; A reference strength determination device for determining the reference strength of the player by measuring the intensity of the hit by the strength measurement device by causing the player to strike the target, and displaying capability information corresponding to the reference strength from the opponent candidate information storage device. Relative candidate information selecting device for selecting relative candidate information And a game control device for controlling a game for setting the opponent candidate information selected by the opponent candidate information selecting device as the player's opponent, wherein the game control device determines the influence of the winning and losing on each of the player and the selected opponent when the game starts. Win / loss influence information setting device for setting the information, a hit determination device for determining whether or not the target is hit during the game, and if the hit determination device determines that the target is hit based on the measured strength measured by the strength measuring device A win / loss influence information control device for changing the information having influence on the opponent's win / loss and changing the information having influence on the win / loss of the player based on the reference strength if the hit determination device determines that the target is not hit, and the player Information and influence on the outcome of the opponent Based on the information having the influence on L to solve the above problems as a game system that includes a win-loss judgment device for judging win or loss of the game.

According to the present invention, the reference strength determined by the reference strength determining device is determined by the hitting strength of the player, and the opponent candidate information showing ability information on the hit corresponding to the reference strength is selected by the opponent candidate information selecting device, The game control device controls a game for setting selected opponent candidate information as an opponent. Therefore, opponents with similar abilities with respect to the strike are selected. In addition, unlike when the player plays the game with a real opponent, the location and time of the game are not bound by the opponent's convenience.

The information having influence on the victory or defeat is set in each player and opponent by the victory influence information setting device at the start of the game, and the victory influence information control device influences the opponent's victory or defeat based on the measured strength when the player hits the target. Change the information having an influence on the winning or losing, the information control device changes the information having an influence on the winning or losing of the player based on the reference strength if the player fails to hit the target, and the winning or losing judgment device is influenced by the winning or losing Judge a win or lose based on the final information. Thus, the strength of the blow has an influence on the win or loss of the game. In the present invention, the reference strength is used as information for obtaining the opponent's hitting strength in the game, which enables a state such that the opponent and the player compete with each other even if the player does not actually compete with the opponent.

For example, the reference strength is obtained by hitting the player, the opponent is selected based on the reference strength, and thus it can be considered that the opponent and the player have almost the same reference strength. Thus, the reference intensity is regarded as the relative reference intensity, and the reference intensity can be used as the measured intensity. The intensity information corresponding to the reference intensity is included in the capability information about the hit in the opponent candidate information selected based on the reference intensity, and the intensity information may be used. Therefore, the player can realize a battle game against the selected opponent without actually competing with the selected opponent. Therefore, the present invention can provide a game system in which a battle game according to a player's game technology is realized at a player's preferred time and preferred place. In addition, the game's interest can be improved because winning or losing is not judged only by counting the number of hits.

The capability information corresponding to the reference strength may be the same strength information as the reference strength by including the strength information corresponding to the capability information in the capability information, or a correspondence table and calculation method for mapping the reference strength to the capability information appropriate for the reference strength. By preparing a, it may be strength information defined by a corresponding table or a calculation method. The opponent candidate information stored in the opponent candidate information storage device may be information stored based on a grade when another player plays the game, or may be directly registered information.

Information having an influence on winning or losing at the start of a game may be predetermined as predetermined information or may be determined based on predetermined information. The information having influence on the win or lose is information used to determine the win and loss of the player and the opponent, and the information having influence on the win and loss includes a numerical value, a letter, a sign, and the like. Changes based on “measurement intensity” will include changes by measurement intensity only, changes by other information and measurement intensity added, and changes by other information obtained by using measurement intensity. Changes based on reference intensity will include changes by reference intensity only, other information added and changes by reference intensity, and changes by other information obtained by using reference intensity. The judgment of the outcome is based on the scores obtained when the outcome is judged solely by the information having an influence on the victory and the added information other than the information in which the victory has an influence on the victory or defeat, for example, the number of hits or the target. It will include cases that are judged by consideration.

The win / loss influence information setting apparatus sets a fitness value that numerically expresses the fitness of the player and the opponent as information on each fitness.

The game control device further includes a reference change amount determining device for determining a change amount of the player's fitness value as a reference change amount based on the reference strength, and a measurement change amount determining device for determining a decrease amount of the opponent's fitness value as a measurement change amount based on the measured intensity. Include.

If it is determined that the target is hit, the influence control device may change the stamina of the opponent by the measured amount of change, and if it is determined that the target is not hit, the player may change the stamina of the player by the amount of reference change. The determination device may determine the win or loss based on the fitness value.

Therefore, information having an influence on win or loss can be treated as a numerical value. The opponent's health value can be changed by the measured change amount when the player hits the target, and the player's health value can be changed by the base change amount when the player fails to hit the target. The player and the opponent change the opponent's stamina value, and the outcome is judged based on the stamina value. For example, a battle game in which a player hits a target may be demonstrated so that an opponent's health value decreases to a predetermined value before the player's health value.

If it is determined that the target is hit, the apparatus for controlling the victory influence may reduce the stamina value of the opponent by the measured change amount, and may reduce the stamina value of the player by the reference change amount if it is determined that the target is not hit. Therefore, a game can be realized in which the stamina value of the opponent is reduced when the player hits the target, and the stamina value of the player is reduced when the player fails to hit the target.

The win / loss influence information setting apparatus may set information having influence on the win or loss of the player and information having influence on the win or loss of the opponent, respectively, based on the reference strength. Therefore, the reference strength can be reflected in the information having an influence on the win or loss at the start of the game. Thus, for example, if information with influence on win or loss is set so that the lower the reference strength is, the game provides less enjoyment, it is possible to prevent the player from intentionally setting the lower reference strength. "Based on reference intensity" will include the case of reference intensity only, other information added and case of reference intensity, and the case of other information obtained by using reference intensity.

The game system includes a speed measuring device for measuring the speed at which the target is hit, and a reference speed determining device for determining the reference speed of the player by causing the player to hit the target to measure the speed of the hit by the speed measuring device. The opponent candidate information selection device selects the opponent candidate information from the opponent candidate information storage device, and the opponent candidate information displays capability information corresponding to the reference strength and the reference speed. Also in this case, a table or calculation method can be prepared in advance for the correspondence between the reference speed and the capability information. In the table or by the calculation method, the reference speed corresponds to the capability information appropriate for the reference speed. Therefore, the game skill is judged by two parameters, the intensity of the hit and the speed of the hit, and the opponent can be selected according to the game skill of the player.

The game control device may have an appearance mode setting device for setting the appearance mode of each target frequently appearing from each opening in the game according to the reference speed determined by the reference speed determining device. Since the reference speed is regarded as a technique relating to the player's striking speed, the present invention can realize a game having an appearance mode suitable for the technique. The haunting mode is a mode in which each target emerges from each opening and disappears into the opening. For example, the appearance mode is determined by the time point at which the target appears, the duration in which the target remains in the appearance state, and the moving speed at which the target appears and disappears.

This problem is solved by a game system that includes the same.

According to the second game system of the present invention, the reference speed which is the reference speed of the player's hitting the target is determined by the reference speed determining device, and the opponent candidate information showing the ability information according to the reference speed of the player is the opponent candidate information. A battle game is selected by the selection apparatus and the selected opponent candidate information is set as the opponent. Therefore, the reference speed is set as the game skill of the player, and the opponent is selected according to the game skill. Thus, in the present invention, unlike when a player competes with a real opponent for a game, where and when to play the game is not limited by the opponent's convenience.

In the game, the winning or losing influence information control device may give a predetermined change to the information having an influence on the winning or losing of the opponent whenever the player successfully hits the target. If the player fails to hit the target, the victory influence information control device considers that the opponent has hit the target, and the victory influence information control device has an influence on the player's victory whenever the player fails to hit the target. A predetermined change can be given to the information. The win / loss judgment device judges the win / loss based on the information having influence on the win / loss. Appearance mode setting The apparatus sets the appearance mode of the target in the game according to the reference speed. Thus, for example, the higher the player's reference speed, i.e., the higher the game skill of the player, the more complicated the appearance mode can be. As the roaming mode becomes more complicated, the difficulty of hitting the target is increased. Therefore, the game can be provided according to the game skill of the player.

Therefore, in the present invention, the reference speed is set as the game skill of the player, the opponent candidate information corresponding to the reference speed is selected as the opponent, and the appearance mode of the target is set according to the reference speed, whereby according to the game skill of the player A battle game can provide a game system that is realized at a preferred time at a player's preferred location.

The speed of the hit may be a parameter indicating the speed at which the player hits the target. Examples of hit speeds include the time taken to hit one target, the number of target strikes within a given target, and the time taken to hit a certain number of targets. The ability information corresponding to the reference speed may be the same speed information as the reference speed of the player, and the speed information corresponds to the reference speed and is included in the ability information. Alternatively, the capability information corresponding to the reference speed may be defined by a table or calculation method that associates the reference speed and capability information according to the reference speed with respect to each other. The concept of the appearance mode, the opponent candidate information storage device, and the information having influence on the winning and losing is similar to the first game system.

As described above, the present invention can provide a game system having a reference strength determining apparatus for determining a reference strength of a player, wherein opponent candidate information according to the reference strength is selected as an opponent, and the influence on the winning or losing of the opponent is determined. The information it has is changed based on the strength of the hit when the player hits the target, and the information with influence on the player's win or loss is changed based on the reference strength, which is the strength of the opponent when the player fails to hit the target, Is determined based on the information having an influence on the winning and losing, whereby a battle game according to the game skill of the player is realized in the target hitting game.

The player data 10 is data generated and stored as a result of a game played by the player in the game machine 3 installed in one of the businesses X, Y, and Z. Fig. 2 shows an example in which player A plays a game on game machine 3 in store X and player A obtains a game score 13 of " 55 ".

The score ranking table ST, the total time grade table KT, and the maximum intensity grade table FT are also stored in the server storage unit 2. The score ranking table ST is a table showing the national ranking of the game score 13 together with the business name 11 and the player name 12. The total time rating table (KT) is a table showing the national rating of the total time (SK) together with the business name (11) and the player name (12). The maximum strength rating table is a table showing the national rating of the maximum strength (MF) together with the business name (11) and the player name (12). Game score 13, total time SK, and maximum intensity MF will be described later.

The configuration of the game machine 3 will be described with reference to Figs. The appearance of the game machine 3 will be described with reference to FIG. The game machine 3 includes a game base 20, a board surface 21 provided on the game base 20, and a display 24 located on the front surface towards the player. Seven openings 22,..., 22 are provided on the board surface 21, and a target 23 is provided in each opening 22 that can be sunk through the opening 22. A so-called target hitting game is played in the game machine 3. In the target hitting game, the player competes with his opponent in hitting the target 23 which haunts through the opening 22 with a hammer (not shown).

4 shows the main hardware configuration of the game machine 3. The game machine 3 comprises a display 24, a speaker 25, a game machine storage unit 26, a transmission / reception unit 27, and seven target mechanisms 28, and a control unit for controlling the operation of each unit. (29). Various kinds of information and images are displayed on the display 24, and messages to the player, sound effects, and the like are output from the speaker 25. Various data and various tables necessary for various kinds of control performed by the control unit 29 are stored in the game machine storage unit 26. The table stored in the game machine storage unit 26 will be described later.

The transmission / reception unit 27 transmits data to and receives data from the server 1. The target mechanism 28 includes a target 23, a motor 30 for vertically moving the target 23, and a blow sensor unit 31 for detecting information about the hit against the target 23. The target mechanism 28 is provided to each of the seven targets 23,..., 23, and each target mechanism 28 has the same configuration. Detailed target mechanism 28 will be described later. The control unit 29 includes a CPU and peripheral circuits such as a RAM 29a and a ROM 29b necessary for the operation of the CPU.

Detailed target mechanism 28 will be described with reference to FIGS. The control unit 29 controls the operation of the target mechanism 28. The target mechanism 28 includes a target 23, a motor 30, a strike sensor unit 31, a clutch 32, a roller 33, and an arm 34. The striking sensor unit 31 includes a slit plate 40, a sensor 41, and a sensor 42. The motor 30 is rotated in accordance with the operation control performed by the control unit 29. The torque of the motor 30 is transmitted through the clutch 32, whereby the oscillation driven arm 34 rotates the roller 33. The target 23 is operated to move vertically by the rotation of the roller 33. The moving direction of the target 23 is determined by the torque direction of the motor 30. Therefore, the target 23 is hidden in the opening 22 as shown in FIG. 7A when positioned at the lowest end portion (hereinafter referred to as "lower portion") within the movable range, and the target 23 Is shown from the opening 22 as shown in FIG. 7B when located at the upper end portion (hereinafter referred to as the “top portion”) within the movable range.

The clutch 32 is detached when the target 23 reaches the upper end portion, stops the target 23 for a predetermined time, and then the target 23 is lowered. The control unit 29 controls the vertical movement of the target 23. In an embodiment, various appearance patterns of the target 23 in the game are stored in the game storage unit 26. In each appearance pattern, the time when the target 23 appears from the opening 22, the time when the target 23 is stopped at the upper end portion, the appearance speed which is the moving speed for the appearance, and the like for each target 23 Is set. When a predetermined appearance pattern is selected from the game storage unit 26, the control unit 29 controls the operation of the motor 30 of the target mechanism 28 in accordance with the appearance, which causes the seven targets 23 selected appearances. It is sunk through the opening 22 according to the pattern. Thus, various appearance patterns can be realized, such as a pattern in which many targets 23 continually appear for a short time, and a pattern in which each target 23 rushes slowly, respectively.

The mechanism by which the control unit 29 detects the hit by the hit sensor unit 31 will be described. The hit sensor unit 31 and the control unit 29 function as an intensity measuring device. In this embodiment, the hit is detected when the stationary target 23 hits the upper end portion. The sensors 41 and 42 of the hit sensor unit 31 are operated while the target 23 stops at the upper end portion. A slit portion 45 in which a plurality of slits are formed at regular intervals and a slit portion 46 in which no slit is formed are provided in the circumferential direction of the slit plate 40.

The sensors 41 and 42 are optical sensors that output a slit detection signal whenever the sensor 41 detects a slit passing through the sensor 41 as the slit plate 40 rotates. The slit portion 45 is formed to a length such that the sensor 41 can always detect the slit even if the slit plate 40 is rotated. The control unit 29 counts the number of slits that pass through the sensor 41 by counting the slit detection signal, and the control unit 29 calculates the intensity based on the count number. The method of calculating the intensity will be described in detail. When the target 23 stopped at the upper end portion is hit successfully, the target 23 is lowered by the impact of the strike, thereby rotating the roller 33. The slit plate 40 is also rotated by the rotation of the roller 33.

During rotation, the control unit 29 counts the number of slits detected by the sensor 41 for a predetermined time, and the control unit 29 calculates the acceleration α based on the count number. The control unit 29 judges the numerical value obtained by multiplying the acceleration α by the predetermined mass as the intensity F corresponding to the hit. Whether the target 23 is moved upward or downward can be determined by the difference in the switching time between the on state and the off state at the time of slit detection by the two sensors constituting the sensor 41. In the present embodiment, when the number of slit counts reaches a predetermined number, it is determined that there is a hit against the target 23. In the following, sometimes, the determination that the target 23 is successfully hit during the battle game is called "success".

Each process performed in the game system GS will be described by taking an example in which the player plays a battle game in the game machine 3 in the business X. The processing performed in the game system GS while the battle game is playing will be outlined with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In step S100, the start process is performed according to the start operation of the player. Examples of the start operation include coin insertion and entry of a player name. Examples of the starting process include registering the input player name and notifying the player of information about the game. Notification to the player is provided by the display 24 or the speaker 25. In the following, conveying certain information or predetermined instructions to the player by the display 24 or the speaker 25 is called "notification to the player" or "providing instructions to the player".

In step S200, training mode processing is performed. The reference strength and reference speed of the player are set in the training mode process. Reference strength and reference speed will be described later. In step S300, the opponent determination process is performed. In the opponent determination process, the opponent is determined based on the player's reference strength and reference speed. The battle game process of playing the battle game with the set opponent is performed in step S400.

In the battle game, as shown in Fig. 16, a battle screen on which the opponent B and the health gauge TG are displayed is displayed on the display 24. The fitness gauge TG includes a player gauge TG1 and an opponent gauge TG2. The player gauge TG1 displays a fitness value as information affecting the winning or losing of the player, and the opponent gauge TG2 displays a fitness value as information affecting the winning or losing of the opponent B. Fig. 16 shows the battle screen when the player A and the opponent B fight each other.

The battle game of this embodiment is played for a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as "game time"), and the stamina value displayed by the opponent gauge TG2 is determined whenever the player has hit the target 23. It decreases, and the stamina value displayed by the player gauge TG1 decreases whenever it is determined that the opponent B has hit the target 23. The winner is the player A or the opponent B whose opponent's stamina is first zeroed during game time. When both stamina values remain after the game time has elapsed, the player A or opponent B with the more stamina values wins.

Training mode processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The control unit 29 in the game machine 3 controls the training mode processing. In step S210, to set the reference strength, one of the targets 23 emerges from the opening 22 and stops, and the control unit 29 gives the player an instruction to hit the target 23. . In step S220, it is determined whether an error occurs. For example, if a hit does not exist after a predetermined measurement time has elapsed, it is determined that an error has occurred. If it is determined in step S220 that an error has occurred, the flow returns to step S210. If it is determined that no error has occurred, the flow proceeds to step S230. In step S230, the hitting strength F at which the player hits the target 23 is calculated by the above-described method, and the calculated hitting strength F is set as the reference strength of the player. Thereby, the control unit 29 functions as a reference intensity determination device. A plurality of strengths F values are obtained by causing the player to hit the target 23 a plurality of times, and the maximum intensity F may be set as the reference intensity, or the average intensity may be set as the reference intensity.

In step S240, all seven targets 23 are stopped at the upper end portion, and the control unit 29 gives the player an instruction to hit all the targets 23 as soon as possible within a predetermined measurement time. After the control unit 29 provides the instruction, in step S250, it is determined whether an error has occurred. For example, if the player does not hit the target within a predetermined measurement time, it is determined that an error has occurred. If it is determined in step S250 that an error has occurred, the flow returns to step S240. If it is determined that no error has occurred, the flow proceeds to step S260.

The parameters measured for calculating the reference speed include the number of strikes of the target 23 hit within the measurement time and the remaining time when all the targets 23 have hit within the measurement time. The control unit 29 counts the number of hits and the remaining time, which causes the control unit 29 to function as a speed measuring device. In step S260, the control unit 29 calculates the speed based on the measured number of times of hitting and the measurement time, and the control unit 29 sets the calculated speed as the reference speed. For example, the speed can be calculated as the time it takes to hit one target 23. Therefore, the control unit 29 functions as a reference speed determination device. Similar to the reference intensity, a plurality of speeds may be obtained by performing the measurement a plurality of times, and the maximum speed may be set as the reference speed, or the average speed may be set as the reference speed.

In step S270, the reference score is calculated based on the reference intensity and the reference speed by a predetermined calculation method. The reference score is a predictive value that a player having a reference strength and a reference speed as a game skill will obtain in a battle game. The method of calculating the game score will be described later. In the following, the game score or reference score is simply referred to as "score" if the reference score and the game score need not be distinguished from each other. Thus, the training process ends.

Next, the opponent determination process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The opponent determination process is performed by the server 1 and the game machine 3, and the process performed by the server 1 is controlled by the control unit of the server 1, and is performed by the game machine 3. The process is controlled by the control unit 29 of the game machine 3. In step S310, the game machine 3 transmits a request for opponent information including the calculated reference score. The server 1 receives the partner information request in step S320. In step S330, the server 1 retrieves the player table PT of the server storage unit 2, whereby the server 1 has a player having a game score 13 equal to or close to the received reference score. Select data 10. Therefore, the control unit of the server 1 functions as an opponent candidate information selection device.

In step S340, the server 1 transmits the selected player data 10 as the opponent information to the game machine 3. In step S350, the game machine 3 receives the opponent information as information about the opponent for the player. In step S360, the player name 12 included in the opponent information is set as the opponent. Therefore, the opponent determination process ends.

In the game machine 3, a battle game in which the player set as the opponent in the opponent determination process is regarded as the opponent is played. Therefore, the operation of the opponent is actually based on various kinds of information including the opponent information. However, for the purpose of brief description, a player who is considered as an opponent to the player is simply referred to as a "relative". In the following, the player and the opponent on which the start operation has been performed are called player A and opponent B, respectively.

The processing performed in the battle game processing by the game machine 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Each process performed in the battle game process is controlled by the control unit 29 of the game machine 3, unless specifically stated otherwise. Therefore, the control unit 29 functions as a game control device. In step S405, initial setting processing is performed. Initial setting processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the initial setting process, all the parameters used in the game are initialized in step S600. Examples of parameters used in the game include maximum intensity (MF), total time (SK), and total intensity (SF).

In step S610, the appearance pattern is determined based on the reference speed. In this embodiment, in determining the appearance pattern, the speed rank of the reference speed is first determined. For example, the speed grade of each reference speed can be determined based on the graph shown in FIG. 17A. Next, referring to the appearance pattern table shown in Fig. 17B, the appearance pattern is selected corresponding to the determined speed class, and the selected appearance pattern is set as the appearance pattern of the target 23 in the battle game. The target object 23 emerges based on the set appearance pattern. Therefore, the appearance mode of the target 23 can be realized according to the speed grade. Therefore, the control unit 29 functions as the appearance mode setting device. The appearance pattern table is a table in which the appearance pattern of each target 23 corresponds to the speed class. For example, the appearance pattern table is stored in the game machine storage unit 26.

The initial fitness value is set in step S620. At the time of setting the initial fitness value, the fitness value of player A and the fitness value of opponent B are set, respectively. Therefore, the control unit 29 functions as a win / loss influence information setting device. The initial fitness value of the player A is determined by the reference score as a value based on the reference strength, and the initial fitness value of the opponent B is determined by the game score 13 of the opponent information as the value based on the reference strength. In this embodiment, the stamina value corresponding to each score may be set as an initial stamina value based on the graph shown in FIG.

The reference reduction amount is set in step S630. The base reduction amount is a value in which player A's health value decreases due to the hit of opponent B. In this embodiment, the reference reduction amount is determined by the reference intensity. For example, a force class, which is a class of reference strength, may be determined based on the graph shown in FIG. 19A, and the reduction amount corresponding to the determined force class may be set by referring to the reduction amount table shown in FIG. 19B. The decrease amount table is a table in which each force class corresponds to the decrease amount according to the force class. The reduction amount table is stored in the game machine storage unit 26, for example. Thus, the initial setting process ends.

When the initial setting process ends and returns to Fig. 11, the battle screen is displayed on the display in step S410. As described above, the player gauge TG1, the opponent gauge TG2, the opponent B, and the like are displayed on the battle screen. The player gauge TG1 is indicated by the length according to the player A's health value, and the opponent gauge TG2 is indicated by the length according to the opponent B's health value. In step S415, the player A is notified of the game start indication, the game timer starts recording the time, and then the battle game starts. The game timer is a timer for recording game time. In step S420, the appearance operation of each target 23 is controlled according to the appearance pattern. In step S425, it is determined whether success is obtained for the target 23. Therefore, the control unit 29 functions as a hit determination device. If success is obtained, the flow advances to step S430, where a success process is performed. In the success process, the process for reducing the stamina value of the opponent B is mainly performed. Detailed success processing will be described later.

If no success is obtained, the flow advances to step S435, where the player A's stamina value is reduced by a reference decrease amount, and the length of the player gauge TG1 is updated as the player A's stamina value decreases. Through steps S430 and S435, the control unit 29 functions as a win / loss influence information control device. In step S440, it is determined whether the health value of the player A or the opponent B reaches zero. When the health value of the player A or the opponent B reaches 0, the flow advances to step S450. If the stamina values of the player A and the opponent B are not zero, it is determined in step S445 whether the game time is over. If the game time is over, the flow advances to step S450. If the game time has not ended, flow proceeds to step S420. In step S450, an end process of determining whether or not the game is won is performed, and the battle game process is terminated. Detailed termination processing will be described later.

The processing performed in the success processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Success processing is performed on each target 23 that the player successfully hits. In step S700, the striking strength F is determined by the method described above. In the following, the hitting strength F by the player A in the battle game is called "measurement intensity". In step S710, the opposing strength value is updated. For example, as when the reference reduction amount is obtained from the reference strength, the force class of the measured intensity is determined from the graph shown in Fig. 19A, and the value of the reduction amount corresponding to the determined force class is shown in the reduction amount table shown in Fig. 19B. Is determined by reference. Hereinafter, the reduction amount obtained based on the measurement intensity is called "measurement reduction amount". After the measurement reduction amount is determined, the opponent's fitness value is reduced by the measurement reduction amount, and the length of the relative gauge TG2 is also updated as the opponent's fitness value decreases.

In step S720, it is determined whether the measured intensity exceeds the maximum intensity MF. If the measured intensity exceeds the maximum intensity MF, the flow proceeds to step S730, where the maximum intensity MF is updated by the measured intensity. If the measured intensity does not exceed the maximum intensity MF, the flow proceeds to step S740. The maximum intensity MF is a parameter that indicates the maximum value of the measured intensity of player A in the battle game. In step S740, the total intensity SF is updated. Total Intensity (SF) is a parameter that indicates the total measured intensity value in a battle game. In step S750, the total time SK is updated. Total time SK is a parameter that indicates the total number of hits that are considered successful in the battle game. Thus, the success process ends.

The processing performed in the termination processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Each process of the end process except the server end process is controlled by the control unit 29 of the game machine 3. At the end of processing, in step S800, it is determined whether player A has won or lost the game, and player A is notified of the result. As described above, depending on the criteria of winning or losing the game, the player A or the opponent B who made the opponent's stamina value equal to zero wins, or the player A or the opponent B who has more stamina values wins. Therefore, the control unit 29 functions as a win / loss judgment device. In step S810, the game score 13 of player A is calculated. The game score 13 is determined by a predetermined calculation method based on the total intensity SF, the total time SK, and the remaining time NH. The remaining time NH is a parameter indicating the remaining time of the battle game, and the remaining time NH is zero when the battle game ends after the game is terminated.

The flow then advances to step S820 to generate player data 10 including the calculated game score 13. The player name input at the start may be set as the player name 12. For example, the business name X may be stored in the ROM 29b, and the business name X may be obtained and set as the business name 11. In step S830, game result information including the player data 13, the maximum intensity MF, and the total time SK is transmitted to the server 1.

In step S840, server termination processing is performed in the server 1. The national grade of player A's game score 13 is determined in the server termination process. Detailed server termination processing will be described later. In step S850, the game machine 3 obtains a national rating of the player's game score 13 from the server 1, and the game machine 3 displays the result on the display 24. Thus, the termination process ends.

The processing performed in the server termination processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Each process in the server termination process is controlled by the control unit of the server 1. If the control unit obtains the game result information transmitted from the game machine 3 in step S900, the control unit stores the player data 10 included in the game result information in the player table PT of the server storage unit 2. Add to In step S920, the control unit updates the rating tables ST, KT, and FT stored in the server storage unit 2 based on the information included in the game result information.

That is, the control unit determines the national ranking of the game score 13 of the player A by referring to the score ranking table ST, and the control unit updates the score ranking table ST. Similarly, the national rating of player A's maximum intensity MF is determined by referring to the maximum intensity table FT, the maximum intensity table FT is updated, and by referring to the total time table KT's The national grade of total time SK is determined and the total time table KT is updated. Finally, in step S930, the control unit sends the national grade of the game score 13 to the game machine 3, which is a supply host of game result information. Thus, the server termination process ends.

The second game system GS according to the invention will be described below. The second game system GS is a game system GS that is based solely on reference speed, which is the sole goal of game technology. The difference between the second game system and the first game system will be described. In the second game system, no processing relating to the intensity of the hit in the first game mode is performed. Thus, a universal sensor capable of detecting the presence of a strike can be used as the strike sensor unit. When selecting the opponent candidate information by the control unit of the server 1 in the opponent determination process, similar to the setting of the appearance pattern, the player data 10 in which the game score 13 corresponding to the reference speed has the game score 13. Determined by a table or calculation method.

In the initial stamina value setting process of the battle game process, the same predetermined stamina values are set as initial stamina values for the player A and the opponent B, respectively. The opponent's health value is decreased by a predetermined value in the success process if it is determined that success has been obtained in the battle game process, and the player's fitness value is reduced by a predetermined value when it is determined that the success is not obtained, and the game is in the first game system. Terminate under similar conditions. As a result, the opponent's fitness value is reduced by (in succession, if determined to have been obtained, by a predetermined value x number of targets), and the player's fitness value is determined by (not successful) being obtained by a predetermined value x Number of targets). The determination of the outcome may be similar to the first game system.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the present invention can be realized in various aspects. For example, the player data 10 of the virtual player may be registered in advance as the player data 10 of the player table PT. The game score 13 of the player data 10 may be updatable. The player's initial health value and the opponent's initial health value can be determined by the value of the reference score. The fitness value for the goal may not be "0".

Operational control of the board surface 21 may be performed independently of the operational control of the target 23. In this case, similar to the appearance pattern, the mode of operation of the board surface 21 can be divided into several patterns, and the patterns can correspond to speed grades. A universal sensor for detecting the degree of impact can be used as the sensor of the striking sensor unit 31. The number of targets 23 may not be seven, and the number of game machines 3 does not really matter as long as at least one game machine 3 is installed.

In the first game system, the reference speed is not measured, the opponent candidate information showing the capability information corresponding only to the reference strength is selected, and the appearance pattern corresponding to the reference strength can be selected in the initial setting process. The game system GS of the present invention can be realized by one game machine 3. In this case, the tables PT, ST, KT, and FT stored in the server storage unit 2 are stored in the game machine storage unit 26, and the function of selecting opponent candidate information is added to the control unit 29. Can be. Each grade is a grade in the game machine 3, not a nationwide grade.
