• the gun device 2 0 2 has substantially the same configuration as the gun device 2 0 0, but is not fixed by the support portions 2 80 and 2 8 2. Instead, the gun unit 20 2 receives the light 6 0 2 of the image from the TV unit 4 0 0 and converts it to an infrared signal and transmits it to the receiver 1 90 And a transmission unit 29.
• the receiving unit 190 is connected to the game device 1002 and is arranged on the TV device 400 that displays the game image.
• a signal 6 0 0 is transmitted from the transmitter 2 90 and received by the receiver 1 90.
• the signal 6 00 received by the receiving unit 1 90 is transmitted to the aiming position detecting unit 1 1 0 in the game apparatus 1 0 2.
• the aiming position detection unit 1 1 0 detects the aiming position by the scope unit 2 2 0 based on the signal 6 0 0.
• the aiming position can be detected by transmitting and receiving the signal 600.
• the gun device 20 2 is not fixed to the support portions 2 80 and 2 82, or when the gun device 2 0 2 and the game device 1 0 2 having the image generating means are separated, etc.
• the aiming position can be appropriately detected in the case of.
• the signal 6 0 in addition to infrared light, for example, a signal such as a laser beam or a radio wave can be applied.
• General transmission means and reception means corresponding to the type of signal can be applied.
• the gun unit 2 0 2 is not fixed to the support units 2 80 and 2 8 2
• the gun unit 2 0 2 and the game unit 1 0 2 are connected with a cable, and the light receiving unit 2 9 2 receives the light.
• the result is transmitted to the game apparatus 10 2 via the cable, and the game apparatus 1 0 detects the aiming position of the gun apparatus 2 0 2 based on the scanning information of the screen of the TV apparatus 4 0 0 and the light reception result. 2 can also be realized.
• a switch is provided instead of the proximity sensor part 2 1 0, and the player switches the distant view image and the foreground image by operating the switch. It is also possible.
• the remote control using the gun device 20 2 described in the second embodiment can be applied not only to the home game device 10 2 but also to a business game device.
• the proximity sensor unit 210 is provided at the upper part near the end of the stock of the gun unit 200 .
• the proximity sensor unit 210 is provided on the player side of the scope unit 220. It is also possible to provide it.
• the scope unit 2 20 is not provided with an image display unit or a lens and has a simple structure in which the crosshairs are cut off, a lens is attached to the scope unit 2 2 0.
• the screen may be enlarged and displayed at a predetermined magnification.
