200911339 九、發明說明 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於由遊戲裝置及可與遊戲裝置進行通訊之 外部裝置所構成之遊戲系統以及構成其遊戲系統之遊戲裝 置及外部裝置者。 【先前技術】 複數人參與遊戲之遊戲系統係從以前開始存在有各種 種類。例如’只要是以設置於遊戲中心等之遊戲設施的遊 藝場遊戲機所構成之遊戲系統，在賽馬遊戲機、賓果遊戲 機、推幣遊戲機、角色扮演遊戲機（專利文獻1等）等眾 多的代幣遊戲機中，複數玩家可參與遊戲。又，即使是由 設置於家庭用遊戲機及遊戲設施之硬幣遊戲機等所構成之 遊戲系統，例如於執行格鬥遊戲等之對戰遊戲的遊戲機中 ’複數玩家亦可參與。又，亦公知有經由網際網路等之通 訊網路來相互連接複數個人電腦及附有通訊功能之家庭用 遊戲機等的通訊終端，執行操作各通訊終端之複數玩家參 與遊戲之線上遊戲的遊戲系統。 [專利文獻1]日本特開2002- 1 1 9765號公報 【發明內容】 [發明所欲解決之課題] 然而，於複數人參與遊戲之習知的遊戲系統中’並不 存在有某玩家在一邊進行遊戲操作一邊進行遊玩之途中， -5- 200911339 將其遊戲操作的權限暫時度讓給他人之後，再次使其遊戲 操作的權限回到原來的玩家之系統。如實現如此之系統， 則可對玩家提供至今未有之遊戲性。 又，不管哪一種遊戲，初學者玩家係一般來說，大多 並無充分掌握用以享受遊玩其遊戲之要領、技能、知識等 。如此之要領、技能、知識等係通常是自己藉由反覆遊玩 遊戲而習得者，但是，初學者玩家之狀況，大多因爲爲習 得其要領等，所以無法享受遊戲，在習得其要領等之前厭 煩遊戲，無法享受其遊戲而不進行遊玩。 尤其，於利用依序清除被賦予之課題•妨礙，進行遊 戲的遊戲（例如專利文獻η中，初學者玩家大多無法充 分享受其遊戲而停止遊玩。亦即，在如此之遊戲，只要是 即使面對難以清除之課題•妨礙的狀況也不放棄進行遊玩 而可清除其課題•妨礙之玩家，可充分得到清除課題.妨 礙的滿足感，又，對於進一步之課題•妨礙的清除之意欲 亦會提升。結果，只要是如此玩家，即可充分享受其遊戲 。但是，初學者玩家的狀況是在面對難以清除之課題.妨 礙時，大多會簡單地放棄其課題•妨礙的清除。爲此，不 僅無法充分得到清除課題•妨礙的滿足感，因爲亦無法進 行對於之後的課題•妨礙的挑戰，故無法充分享受其遊戲 〇 又，於複數人參與遊戲之遊戲系統中，從以前就存在 有以玩家使用自己獲得之點數資料，一邊消費其點數資料 一邊進行遊玩遊戲的遊戲裝置所構成者。例如，只要是以 -6 - 200911339 設置於遊戲中心等之遊戲設施的遊藝場遊戲機所構成之遊 戲系統，在賽馬遊戲機、賓果遊戲機、推幣遊戲機、角色 扮演遊戲機（專利文獻1等）等眾多的代幣遊戲機中，各 玩家係一邊消費將代幣（有體物狀態的遊戲媒體）轉換成 電子資料之自己的代額數（credit )資料（點數資料）一 邊進行遊玩。 然而，於先前的遊戲系統中，各玩家可使用之點數資 料係僅有自己的點數資料’無法使用其他玩家的點數資料 。但是，如果可實現不僅自己的點數資料，亦可使用其他 玩家的點數資料之遊戲系統，則可提供至今未有之遊戲性 〇 本發明係有鑒於上述之背景所發明者，第1目的係提 供在某玩家一邊進行遊戲操作一邊進行遊戲的途中，可將 其遊戲操作的權限，暫時委託他人的遊戲系統，以及構成 其遊戲系統的遊戲裝置及外部裝置。 第2目的係提供可在早期的階段習得闬以享受遊玩遊 戲的要領、技能、知識等，即使是初學者玩家，亦可不厭 煩其遊戲，充分享受遊戲的遊戲系統，以及構成其遊戲系 統的遊戲裝置及外部裝置。 第3目的係提供於玩家遊玩之遊戲中，不僅自己的點 數資料’亦可使用其他玩家的點數資料之遊戲系統，及構 成其遊戲系統的遊戲裝置。 [用以解決課題之手段] 200911339 爲了達成前述第1目的，申請專利範圍第1項的發明 是一種遊戲系統，係具備遊戲裝置、及可在與該遊戲裝置 之間進行通訊地連接之外部裝置的遊戲系統，其特徵爲： 前述遊戲裝置係具有：遊戲畫面顯示手段，係顯示遊戲畫 面；遊戲操作受理手段，係受理玩家的遊戲操作；遊戲控

遊戲玩家，對於初學者玩家來說，即使在初學者玩家陷入 難以過關之遊戲狀況，藉由上級玩家度過該遊戲狀況，讓 就算是初學者玩家亦可進行難以過關之遊戲狀況後的遊戲 狀況爲1種目的。因此，作爲支援者登記條件，將記憶於 RAM33之玩家資訊所包含之各種資訊中，可判斷其玩家 資訊是否是上級玩家者的資訊，作爲表示上級者之資訊。 例如，將包含1個以上自己成爲城主的城堡名稱作爲支援 者登記條件，或將包含8個以上過關之迷宮名稱作爲支援 者登記條件，或者將累積遊玩時間超過規定時間作爲支援 者登記條件。 -56- 200911339 又，如果故意使被支援玩家成爲遊戲結束（game over )等之惡意支援者，或就算是無法打破遊戲狀況也接 受支援，使被支援玩家成爲遊戲結束之支援者等存在時， 則會成爲妨礙本實施形態1支援事件之順暢利用的結果。 在此，在本實施形態1，如後述般，於支援事件結束後被 支援玩家進行支援者的評估，表示其評估結果之評估點數 成爲規定値以上亦作爲支援者登記條件。關於支援者的評 估處理係於後詳述。 系統管理裝置30的控制裝置31係在從各遊戲單元1 接收玩家ID的ID號碼時，參照接收之各ID號碼所對應 之玩家資訊，判斷是否達成以上之所有支援者登記條件。 然後’針對達成其支援者登記條件之玩家資訊所對應之玩 家ID的ID號碼，首先，確認其ID號碼是否已經登記於 支援者資料庫，在已登記之狀況，將表示該玩家可進行支 援之要旨的可支援符號，附加於支援者資料庫的該玩家 ID之同時，將與其玩家ID —起接收之單元10在與該玩 家ID建立關聯之狀態下加以記憶。另一方面，在未登記 之狀況，則將其玩家ID登記於支援者資料庫，並將可支 援符號附加於該玩家ID之同時，將與其玩家ID —起接收 之單元ID與該玩家ID建立關聯之狀態下加以記憶。再者 ’在被支援者登記之玩家結束遊戲玩家時，系統管理裝置 3〇的控制裝置31係在接收包含玩家ID的資料存檔要求 時’從支援者資料庫刪除附加於其玩家ID的可支援符號 。因此’支援者資料庫中附加有可支援符號之玩家ID所 -57- 200911339 對應之玩家係現在進行遊玩之全上級玩家。 圖14係揭示在被支援玩家對其他玩家（支援者）委 託支援時的支援委託處理之流程的序列流程圖。 被支援玩家利用進行指示自己之主角角色之動作等的 遊戲操作，使主角角色進入城內，但是，在主角角色被強 力之敵方怪物襲擊而無法以自己打破遊戲狀況時，被支援 玩家係爲了進行支援要求而按下操作按鍵5b。遊戲單元1 的控制裝置11受理按下操作按鍵5b之支援要求操作時， 控制裝置1 1係將支援者清單要求經由設施管理裝置20發 送至系統管理裝置3 0。接收此要求之系統管理裝置3 0的 控制裝置3 1係因應接收之支援者清單要求，從記憶於 RAM3 3之支援者資料庫，遵從所定列舉條件，選擇所定 數（在本實施形態1是5人）的支援者，進行作成支援者 清單的處理。在本實施形態1，如後述般，各支援者的評 估點數被登記於支援者資料庫，因應其評估點數，將全支 援者等級區分成5階段。然後，本實施形態1的清單列出 條件係隨機或遵從所定選擇條件從各等級選擇各1位支援 者。又，於本實施形態中，作爲主角角色的職業，有戰士 、魔法師、賭徒之3種類，依照其職業而能力不同。爲此 ’就算是上級玩家，對於與自己之主角角色的職業不同之 職業’大多不習慣。在此，在本實施形態1，與被支援玩 家的主角角色爲相同職業亦是列舉條件。遵從如此之列舉 條件，選擇列舉出之支援者時，系統管理裝置3 〇的控制 裝置31係從RAM33讀取出各支援者的玩家資訊等，作成 -58- 200911339 支援者清單。作成之支援者清單的資料係與被列舉出之各 支援者分別進行遊玩之遊戲單元的單元ID —起，被回覆 至該支援者清單要求之發送來源的遊戲單元1。 接收支援者清單資料之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係 依據接收之支援者清單資料，使顯示器2顯示如圖15所 示之支援者清單。於該支援者清單係顯示有達成列舉條件 之5位支援者的評估等級、玩家名稱、設置該支援者進行 遊玩之遊戲單元的店舖名稱、該支援者的註記及該支援者 進行支援時所需之消費代額數。再者，消費代額數係因應 評估等及來決定，具體來說S等級之支援者進行支援時需 要消費5代額數，相同地，AAA等級需要消費4代額數 ，AA等級需要消費3代額數，A需要消費2代額數，B 需要消費1代額數。 被支援玩家係觀看顯示於顯示器2之支援者清單，決 定代替自己，代理進行遊玩之支援者。然後，被支援玩家 係操作操作桿4及操作按鍵5 a來選擇支援者，受理其支 援者選擇操作的控制裝置1 1係對於藉由與支援者清單資 料一起接收·選擇之支援者所對應之單元ID特定之身爲 外部裝置的遊戲單元1，發送支援要求。於該支援要求係 包含有在爲了顯示進行支援要求操作之時間點的顯示於顯 示器2之遊戲畫面所需之遊戲畫面用資料。 作爲接收該支援要求之支援者側的遊戲單元1之控制 手段的控制裝置1 1，係以所定時機暫時中斷現在進行之 遊戲（支援者使用自己的主角角色來進行由玩之遊戲）。 -59- 200911339 然後，依據包含於接收之支援要求的遊戲畫面用資料，使 其支援者側遊戲單元1的顯示器2，顯示被支援玩家的遊 戲狀況所對應之遊戲畫面。再者，在本實施形態1，顯示 於支援者側遊戲單元1之被支援玩家的遊戲畫面，係與顯 示於其被支援玩家進行遊玩之遊戲單元1的顯示器者成爲 相同畫面，但是，不一定需要成爲相同畫面，作爲更簡略 之遊戲畫面亦可。如此一來，於支援者側遊戲單元1的顯 示器2顯示被支援玩家的遊戲畫面時，支援者係觀看其遊 戲畫面，考慮是否承諾支援，使用構成承諾與否操作受理 手段之操作桿4及操作按鍵5 a，進行用以決定是否承諾 支援的操作。 在支援者進行不承諾支援之要旨的操作時，受理其操 作之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1係將支援拒絕回 應，回覆至支援要求之發送來源的遊戲單元1。接收該支 援拒絕回應之被支援玩家的遊戲單元1的控制裝置11， 係使顯示器2顯示支援被拒絕之要旨的訊息，再次對於系 統管理裝置30，發送支援者清單要求。藉此，被支援玩 家係可從新作成之支援者清單再次選擇支援者。再者，在 回覆支援拒絕回應時，亦一起發送支援者的建議或註記（ 例如「請再早一點呼叫」），於被支援玩家之遊戲單元的 顯示器，與支援被拒絕之要旨的訊息一起顯示該建議或註 記亦可。 另一方面，在支援者進行承諾支援之要旨的操作時， 受理其操作之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置丨1係將支 -60- 200911339 援承諾回應’回覆至支援要求之發送來源的遊戲單元1。 受理該支援承諾回應之被支援玩家的遊戲單元1的控制裝 置1 1，係執行使記億於RAM 1 3之代額數資料，僅減少關 於支援承諾回應之支援者的消費代額數之份量般地變動的 代額數變動處理（玩家點數減算處理）（S 8 )。之後，控 制裝置1 1係於遊戲畫面上顯示作爲支援者所致之代理遊 玩中之要旨的顯示’以後，將後述之達成支援結束條件爲 止的期間作爲代理遊玩期間，其代理遊玩期間中係因應支 援者的遊戲操作，來控制遊戲進行。 又，受理支援者所致之支援承諾操作之支援者側遊戲 單元1的控制裝置1 1，係於顯示器2，及依據包含於接收 之支援要求的遊戲畫面用資料的遊戲畫面上，顯示附加有 代理遊玩中之要旨的顯示及關於後述之支援結束條件之資 訊的顯示等的支援用遊戲畫面。 圖1 6係揭示因應支援者的遊戲操作，控制遊戲進行 的代理遊玩處理之流程的序列流程圖。 於本實施形態1中，支援者開始支援的支援開始時間 廳占之被支援玩家的遊戲狀況，係被支援玩家進行支援要求 操作之時間點的遊戲狀況，其遊戲狀況所對應之支援用遊 戲畫面係如上述般，已經顯示於支援者側遊戲單元1的顯 示器2。因此，支援者係觀看其支援用遊戲畫面，對於顯 示於其支援用遊戲畫面上之被支援玩家的主角角色，進行 動作指示等的遊戲操作，使其主角角色移動或使用卡片， 嘗試打破其遊戲狀況。支援者藉由操作桿4及操作按鍵 -61 - 200911339 5a等進行遊戲操作之操作內容，係作爲遊戲操作訊號’ 從身爲1台遊戲裝置之支援者側遊戲單元1，發送至身爲 其他其他遊戲裝置之被支援玩家的遊戲單元1。 接收遊戲操作訊號之被支援玩家之遊戲單元i的控制 裝置1 1，係首先判斷遊戲操作訊號所示之遊戲操作，是 否是需要消費代額數之遊戲操作。例如，在使用卡片時因 爲需要消費因應其卡片種類之量的代額數，故在此時則判 斷需要消費代額數。再者，於本實施形態1中，判斷需要 消費代額數之遊戲操作訊號是點數允許使用要求，所定特 別點數消費條件係受理需要消費代額數之支援者的遊戲操 作（特別之操作）。在判斷需要消費代額數時，控制裝置 11係首先使顯示器2顯示確認是否允許代額數之使用的 訊息。看到該訊息之被支援玩家係使用構成許否指定操作 受理手段之操作桿4及操作按鍵5a，進行用以決定是否 允許使用代額數的代額數使用許否操作（點數使用許否操 作）。 在被支援玩家進行不允許代額數的使用之要旨的操作 時，受理其操作之控制裝置11係將拒絕支援者操作之遊 戲操作之要旨的拒絕操作資料（特別操作拒絕資料：點數 使用拒絕回應），發送至支援者側遊戲單元1。接收該拒 絕操作資料之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1，係即 使進行該遊戲操作亦禁止其受理，使顯示器2顯示遊戲操 作被拒絕之要旨的訊息等。接收此訊息，支援者係考慮其 他對策來進行其他遊戲操作，或放棄打破其遊戲狀況時係 -62- 200911339 爲了結束支援而按下操作按鍵5b。支援者側遊戲單元1 的控制裝置1 1受理支援者按下操作按鍵5b之支援結束操 作時，其控制裝置Π係判斷達成支援結束條件，對於被 支援玩家的遊戲單元1，發送支援結束訊號，將顯示於顯 示器2之支援用遊戲畫面，切換成暫時中斷之支援者之遊 戲的遊戲畫面，再次開始支援者的遊戲進行。 另一方面，被支援玩家進行允許代額數的使用之要旨 的操作時，受理其操作的控制裝置1 1係判斷達成所定點 數消費條件，進行使藉由接收之遊戲操作訊號所示之遊戲 操作（特別之操作）消費之代額數之份量，從記憶於 RAM 1 3之代額數資料減去般地變動的代額數變動處理（ 玩家點數減算處理）。然後，因應接收之遊戲操作訊號所 示之遊戲操作來控制遊戲進行，將因應其遊戲進行的遊戲 畫面，顯示於被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2之同時 ，將用以顯示其遊戲畫面的遊戲畫面用資料，發送至支援 者側遊戲單元1。接收該遊戲畫面用資料之支援者側遊戲 單元1的控制裝置1 1係使支援者側遊戲單元1的顯示器 2顯示依據其遊戲畫面用資料之支援用遊戲畫面。 再者，被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係判 斷接收之遊戲操作訊號所示之遊戲操作不是需要消費代額 數之遊戲操作時，則因應其遊戲操作訊號所示之遊戲操作 來控制遊戲進行，將因應其遊戲進行的遊戲畫面，顯示於 被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2之同時，將用以顯示 其遊戲畫面的遊戲畫面用資料，發送至支援者側遊戲單元 -63- 200911339 1。接收該遊戲畫面用資料之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制 裝置11係使支援者側遊戲單元1的顯示器2顯示依據其 遊戲畫面用資料之支援用遊戲畫面。 藉由進行如此之控制，於本實施形態1中，支援者所 致之代理遊玩期間中，不僅支援者側遊戲單元1的顯示器 2，於被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2亦顯示有因應 其遊戲進行的遊戲畫面。因此，被支援玩家係可閱覽支援 者進行何種遊戲操作來打破支援開始時間點之遊戲狀況。 結果，被支援玩家係可觀看上級玩家的遊戲操作來習得攻 略的要領，相較於不利用支援事件之狀況’可更快速地讓 自己的遊戲遊玩進步。再者，在支援者所致之代理遊玩期 間中，不是被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2顯示因應 其遊戲進行的遊戲畫面亦可。 在此，因爲支援者是上級玩家，故其遊戲操作大多較 快速，因應其快速的遊戲操作，顯示於被支援玩家之遊戲 單元1的顯示器2之遊戲畫面的更新速度（顯示速度）也 會變快。如此，遊戲畫面的更新速度（顯示速度）較快時 ，有被支援玩家看不清楚或無法理解其支援者如何進行遊 戲操作之虞。 在此，於本實施形態1中，接收來自支援者側遊戲單 元1的操作資料之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置 1 1，係以代理遊玩期間中是較因應被支援玩家的遊戲操作 來控制遊戲進行時之遊戲畫面更緩慢顯示般地，將因應接 收之操作資料所對應之遊戲操作來進行控制之遊戲的遊戲 -64- 200911339 畫面，顯示於遊戲畫面2之方式來進行控制。具體來說， 被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1係依據接收之操 作資料來進行1回合份的遊戲進行控制，於顯示器2顯示 之其回合後的遊戲畫面後，到經過所定時間（在本實施形 態是約兩秒鐘）爲止，即使接收下個操作資料亦不進行遊 戲進行控制而待機。然後，在經過該所定時間後，依據前 述下個操作資料來進行1回合份之遊戲進行的控制，於顯 示器2顯示其回合後的遊戲畫面。利用進行如此之控制， 即使支援者快速地進行遊戲操作之狀況，因爲於各回合結 束後之約兩秒間，遊戲畫面是靜止的，故被支援玩家係亦 於掌握支援者的遊戲操作。 再者，在本實施形態1，利用於各回合結束後，加入 約兩秒鐘的靜止時間，間歇地更新遊戲畫面，使在代理遊 玩期間中顯示於被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2之遊 戲畫面成爲緩慢顯示，但是，藉由其他方法來進行緩慢顯 示亦可。例如，降低回合中之遊戲畫面的顯示速度本身， 使其成爲緩慢顯示亦可。 又，支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1係判斷代理 遊玩期間中，是否達成所定支援結束條件。本實施形態1 之支援結束條件係滿足：控制裝置1 1受理支援者按下操 作按鍵5b之支援結束操作、從開始代理遊玩經過1 0回合 、從開始代理遊玩經過規定時間之任一。再者，於支援用 遊戲畫面係顯示有達成該支援結束條件爲止之殘留回合數 及殘留時間等。因此，支援者係即使從開始代理遊玩經過 -65- 200911339 1 0回合前或經過規定時間前，亦可利用按下操作按鍵5b ，使代理遊玩結束。 支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係在判斷達成支 援結束條件時，對於被支援玩家的遊戲單元1，發送支援 結束訊號。然後，將顯示於顯示器2之支援用遊戲畫面， 切換成暫時中斷之支援者之遊戲的遊戲畫面，再次開始支 援者的遊戲進行。 另一方面，接收支援結束訊號之被支援玩家之遊戲單 元1的控制裝置11，係使用以輸入委託代理遊玩之支援 者之評估的評估結果輸入畫面。於該評估結果輸入畫面中 ，被支援玩家係操作操作桿4及操作按鍵5a，選擇「好 」、「普通」、「不好」之3個評估中任一。受理該評估 輸入操作之控制裝置1 1係經由設施管理裝置20，對於系 統管理裝置3 0，發送表示關於其評估輸入操作之評估的 評估資料。接收此資料之系統管理裝置3 0的控制裝置31 ，係如果接收之評估資料所示之評估爲「好」，則進行對 登記於RAM3 3的支援者資料庫之該支援者的評估點數， 加上「3」的處理。相同地，如果其評估是「普通」，則 進行對該支援者的評估點數加上「1」的處理，如果其評 估是「不好」，則進行從該支援者的評估點數減去^ 3」 的處理。如此一來，登記於支援者資料庫之各支援者的評 估點數，係如上述般’利用於支援者登記條件的判斷，或 利用於決定各支援者之評估等級。 如上所述，於本實施形態1中，被支援玩家進行支援 -66- 200911339 要求操作，而回應此，支援者進行支援承諾操作時’身爲 遊戲裝置之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11 ’係 在支援者所致之代理遊玩期間（從支援者開始代理遊玩到 達成所定支援結束條件爲止的期間）結束爲止之間’因應 從身爲外部裝置之支援側遊戲單元發送來之操作資料（支 援者所致之遊戲操作的操作資料），控制受理被支援玩家 所致之支援要求操作的時間點（支援開始時間點）之遊戲 狀況之後的遊戲進行。代理遊玩期間中，用以顯示因應其 遊戲進行之遊戲畫面的遊戲畫面用資料，被發送至支援者 側遊戲單元1，其遊戲畫面會顯示於支援者側遊戲單元1 的顯示器2，故支援者係一邊觀看其遊戲畫面一邊進行遊 戲操作。如此，於本實施形態1中，於所定代理遊玩期間 結束爲止之間，係將支援開始時間點之被支援玩家的遊戲 狀況的後續，讓身爲其他玩家之支援者來代理進行遊玩， 以代替被支援玩家。然後，其代理遊玩期間結束之後，被 支援玩家從支援者代理進行遊戲操作之後的遊戲狀況開始 進行遊玩。結果，可提供在被支援玩家一邊進行遊戲操作 一邊進行遊戲的途中，可將其遊戲操作的權限，暫時委託 身爲他人的支援者來進行遊玩之至今未曾有遊戲性。而且 ，藉此，對於初學者玩家來說，有即使在初學者玩家陷入 難以過關之遊戲狀況，只要利用本支援事件，藉由身爲上 級玩家之支援者來度過該遊戲狀況，讓就算是初學者玩家 亦可進行難以過關之遊戲狀況後的遊戲狀況的效果。 又，於本實施形態1中，在代理遊玩期間中，從被支 -67- 200911339 援玩家進行遊玩之遊戲的所定支援開始時間點（進行支援 要求操作之時間點）之遊戲狀況，因應支援者所致之遊戲 操作的內容’控制其遊戲進行來代替被支援玩家的遊戲操 作。然後’其代理遊玩期間中之遊戲進行所因應之遊戲畫 面，係顯示於該被支援玩家進行遊玩之遊戲單元1的顯示 器2。所以，被支援玩家係可閱覽因應支援者所致之遊戲 操作而進行之遊戲的遊戲畫面。因此，可知身爲上級玩家 之支援者進行何種遊戲操作，是否清除前述支援開始時間 點的遊戲狀況之課題•妨礙等。結果，被支援玩家係可在 早期的階段習得用以享受遊玩本遊戲的要領、技能、知識 等。 又’於本實施形態1中，作爲1台遊戲裝置之支援者 側遊戲單元1中’達成所謂受理需要消費代額數之支援者 的遊戲操作（特別之遊戲操作）之所定特別點數消費條件 時，遵從在被支援玩家的遊戲單元1進行遊玩之玩家的代 額數使用許否操作’決定是否允許被支援玩家之代額數資 料（點數資料）的使用。然後，在不決定允許其使用時， 在支援者側遊戲單元1進行代理遊玩之支援者，係無法使 用被支援玩家的代額數資料。亦即，在支援者側遊戲單元 1進行代理遊玩之支援者，係對於爲了不使用自己的代額 數資料而使用被支援玩家的代額數資料來進行遊戲操作， 需要該被支援玩家允許其使用。利用如此之構造，可事先 防止被支援玩家與支援者之間的糾紛。 再者，在上述之實施形態1，已針對代理遊玩期間中 -68- 200911339 支援者進行需要消費代額數之遊戲操作時，而被支援玩家 不允許代額數之使用率的狀況下，禁止支援者所致之該遊 戲內容所因應之遊戲進行的控制之狀況加以說明，但是， 以進行使記憶於支援者側遊戲單元1之RAM 1 3的代額數 資料僅減少因應該遊戲操作之代額數之份量的處理爲條件 ’不禁止該遊戲操作的內容所因應之遊戲進行的控制亦可 。亦即’支援者係在不管如何都想進行該遊戲操作時，使 用自己的代額數資料而解除該遊戲操作的禁止，進行其遊 戲操作的內容所因應之遊戲進行控制亦可。在本實施形態 1 ’如後述般，因被支援玩家係在代理遊玩期間結束後進 行支援者的評估，故相較於禁止該遊戲操作，爲了無法改 善被支援玩家的遊戲狀況而獲得較低之評估，也會有希望 使用自己的代幣來獲得較高評估的支援者。揭示此狀況之 代理遊玩處理之流程的序列流程圖係如圖1 7。 此時，接收該拒絕操作資料之支援者側遊戲單元1的 控制裝置1 1係使顯示器2顯示遊戲操作被拒絕之要旨的 訊息與詢問是否可使用自己的代額數的訊息等。接收此訊 息，支援者係考慮是否使用自己的代額數來進行該遊戲操 作，而操作操作桿4及操作按鍵5a等來指示自己的代額 數之使用的可否。受理不使用自己的代額數之要旨的指示 操作之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係禁止該遊 戲操作的受理。另一方面，受理使用自己的代額數之要旨 的指示操作之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係進 行使藉由該遊戲操作而消費之代額數之份量’從記憶於 -69- 200911339 RAM 13之代額數資料減少般地變動的代額數變動處理（ 玩家點數減算處理）。然後，控制裝置11係將該遊戲操 作所對應之遊戲操作訊號，再次發送至被支援玩家的遊戲 單元1。再者，該遊戲操作訊號係附加表示代額數已消費 之符號等，區別於之前已發送之遊戲操作訊號。然後’接 收該遊戲訊號之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11 係因應接收之遊戲操作訊號所示之遊戲操作來控制遊戲進 行，將因應其遊戲進行的遊戲畫面，顯示於被支援玩家之 遊戲單元1的顯示器2之同時，將用以顯示其遊戲畫面的 遊戲畫面用資料，發送至支援者側遊戲單元1。 又，在上述之實施形態1，已針對代理遊玩期間中支 援者進行需要消費代額數的遊戲操作時，減少被支援玩家 的代額數之狀況加以說明，但是，減少支援者的代額數亦 可。揭示此狀況之代理遊玩處理之流程的序列流程圖係如 圖1 8。 此時，接收遊戲操作訊號之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1 的控制裝置11，係在判斷其遊戲操作訊號所示之遊戲操 作是需要消費代額數之遊戲操作時’則將代額數消費命令 (點數消費命令）發送至支援者側遊戲單元1。接收該代 額數消費命令之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係 使關於接收隻代額數消費命令之代額數之份量（亦即，藉 由支援者操作之遊戲操作（特別之操作）而消費之代額數 之份量），從記憶於該支援者側遊戲單元1之RAM 1 3的 代額數資料減少般地變動的代額數變動處理（支援者點數 -70- 200911339 減算處理）。 如此，在減少支援者之代額數的狀況，因爲不需針對 代理遊玩期間中之代額數的使用率來求取被支援玩家之允 許，故代理遊玩期間中的遊戲進行會較爲順暢。 [實施形態2] 接著，與前述實施形態1相同，針對適用於具備複數 作爲遊戲裝置之身爲遊藝場遊戲機的代幣遊戲機的遊戲系 統之其他實施形態加以說明（以下稱本實施形態爲「實施 形態2」）。 再者，在前述實施形態1控制代理遊玩期間中之遊戲 進行的是被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，在本 實施形態2，卻是支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1，與 前述實施形態1相異。 又，在前述實施形態1代理遊玩期間中之遊戲畫面是 亦顯示於被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2，在本實施 形態2，代理遊玩期間中之遊戲畫面係不顯示於被支援玩 家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2之處，與前述實施形態1相異 〇 因爲本實施形態2之其他地方與前述實施形態1幾近 相同，故以下僅針對其相異點加以說明。 圖1 9係揭示本實施形態2中，在被支援玩家對其他 玩家（支援者）委託支援時的支援委託處理之流程的序列 流程圖。 -71 - 200911339 被支援玩家按下操作按鍵5b，而遊戲單元1的控制 裝置11受理支援要求操作時，控制裝置n係與前述實施 形態1相同’於顯示器2顯示如圖15所示之支援者清單 。被支援玩家係觀看顯示於顯示器2之支援者清單，操作 操作桿4及操作按鍵5a來選擇支援者，受理其支援者選 擇操作的控制裝置11係對於選擇之支援者的遊戲單元1 ’發送支援要求。於該支援要求係包含有在爲了顯示進行 支援要求操作之時間點的顯示於顯示器2之遊戲畫面所需 之遊戲畫面用資料。 作爲接收該支援要求之支援者側的遊戲單元1之控制 手段的控制裝置U，係以所定時機暫時中斷現在進行之 遊戲（支援者使用自己的主角角色來進行由玩之遊戲）。 然後，依據包含於接收之支援要求的遊戲畫面用資料，使 其支援者側遊戲單元1的顯示器2，顯示被支援玩家的遊 戲狀況所對應之遊戲畫面。支援者係觀看其遊戲畫面，考 慮是否承諾支援，使用構成承諾與否操作受理手段之操作 桿4及操作按鍵5 a，進行用以決定是否承諾支援的操作 〇 在支援者進行承諾支援之要旨的操作時，受理其操作 之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係將支援承諾回應 ，回覆至支援要求之發送來源的遊戲單元1。受理該支援 承諾回應之被支援玩家的遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係 執行使記憶於RAM1 3之代額數資料，僅減少關於支援承 諾回應之支援者的消費代額數之份量般地變動的代額數變 -72- 200911339 動處理（玩家點數減算處理）（S 8 )。之後，控制裝置 11係暫時中斷被支援玩家的遊戲，將表示受理被支援玩 家所致之支援要求操作的時間點（支援開始時間點）之遊 戲狀況的支援開始狀況資料，發送至支援者側的遊戲單元 1。該支援開始狀況資料係支援者側之遊戲單元1的控制 裝置11再次呈現被支援玩家之遊戲單元1之前述支援開 始時間點的遊戲狀況所需之資料。在本實施形態2，將與 被支援玩家的存檔資料相同之資料作爲支援開始狀況資料 而使用。 接收該支援開始狀況資料之支援者側之遊戲單元1的 控制裝置11，係讀入接收之支援開始狀況資料，並載入 記憶於ROM 1 2之程式，從其支援開始狀況資料所示之遊 戲狀況開始遊戲。然後，使顯示器2顯示其遊戲狀況所對 應之支援用遊戲畫面。於此支援用遊戲畫面係與前述實施 形態1之狀況相同，顯示有達成支援結束條件爲止之殘留 回合數及殘留時間等。 圖20係揭示於本實施形態2中，因應支援者的遊戲 操作，控制遊戲進行的代理遊玩處理之流程的序列流程圖 〇 於本實施形態2中，支援者操作操作桿4及操作按鍵 5a等，而遊戲操作被該支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置 1 1受理時，其控制裝置1 1係首先判斷其遊戲操作是否是 需要消費代額數的遊戲操作。例如’在使用卡片時因爲需 要消費因應其卡片種類之量的代額數’故在此時則判斷需 -73- 200911339 要消費代額數。在判斷需要消費代額數時，控制裝置1 1 係判斷達成所定特別點數消費條件，對於被支援玩家的遊 戲單元1，發送作爲點數允許使用要求的代額數消費命令 。接收該代額數消費命令之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控 制裝置1 1，係使顯示器2顯示確認是否允許代額數之使 用的訊息。看到該訊息之被支援玩家係使用構成許否指定 操作受理手段之操作桿4及操作按鍵5a，進行用以決定 是否允許使用代額數的代額數使用許否操作（點數使用許 否操作）。 在被支援玩家進行不允許代額數的使用之要旨的操作 時，受理其操作之控制裝置1 1係將拒絕支援者操作之遊 戲操作之要旨的拒絕操作資料（特別操作拒絕資料：點數 使用拒絕回應），發送至支援者側遊戲單元1。接收該拒 絕操作資料之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1，係即 使進行該遊戲操作亦禁止其受理，使顯示器2顯示遊戲操 作被拒絕之要旨的訊息等。接收此訊息，支援者係考慮其 他對策來進行其他遊戲操作，或放棄打破其遊戲狀況時係 爲了結束支援而按下操作按鍵5b。 另一方面，被支援玩家進行允許代額數的使用之要旨 的操作時，受理其操作的控制裝置11係判斷達成所定點 數消費條件，進行使關於代額數消費命令之代額數之份量 (亦即，藉由支援者之遊戲操作（特別之操作）而消費之 代額數之份量），從記憶於RAM 1 3之代額數資料減去般 地變動的代額數變動處理（玩家點數減算處理）。然後， -74- 200911339 被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係對於支援者側 遊戲單元1，發送允許該遊戲操作的允許操作資料。接收 該允許操作資料之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係 因應支援者進行之該遊戲操作來控制遊戲進行，使該支援 者側遊戲單元1的顯示器2顯示因應其遊戲進行的遊戲畫 面。 再者，支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係在判斷 支援者的遊戲操作不是需要消費代額數之遊戲操作時，則 因應其遊戲操作來控制遊戲進行，使該支援者側遊戲單元 1的顯示器2顯示因應其遊戲進行的遊戲畫面。 藉由進行如此控制，於本實施形態2中，支援者所致 之代理遊玩期間中的遊戲進行係藉由支援者側遊戲單元1 的控制裝置1 1控制。然後，支援者側遊戲單元1的控制 裝置11係在代理遊玩期間中，判斷達成所定支援結束條 件時，則將表示達成所定支援結束條件之時間點（所定支 援結束時間點）之遊戲狀況的遊戲結束狀況資料，對於被 支援玩家的遊戲單元1發送。之後，在支援者側遊戲單元 1，再次開始暫時中斷之支援者的遊戲之進行。 另一方面，接收遊戲結束狀況資料之被支援玩家之遊 戲單元1的控制裝置1 1，係讀入接收之支援結束狀況資 料’並載入記憶於ROM 1 2之程式，從其支援結束狀況資 料所示之遊戲狀況，再次開始暫時中斷之被支援玩家的遊 戲之進行。然後，使顯示器2顯示其遊戲狀況所對應之遊 戲畫面。藉此，被支援玩家係可從支援者進行代理遊玩而 -75- 200911339 達成支援結束條件之時間點的後續來進行遊玩遊戲。 如上所述，於本實施形態2中，被支援玩家進行支援 要求操作，而回應此，支援者進行支援承諾操作時，身爲 外部裝置之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置Π ’係在支 援者所致之代理遊玩期間結束爲止之間’因應從支援者所 致之遊戲操作的操作資料，控制受理被支援玩家所致之支 援要求操作的時間點（支援開始時間點）之遊戲狀況之後 的遊戲進行。如此，於本實施形態2中’於所定代理遊玩 期間結束爲止之間，係將支援開始時間點之被支援玩家的 遊戲狀況的後續，讓身爲其他玩家之支援者來代理進行遊 玩，以代替被支援玩家。然後，其代理遊玩期間結束之後 ，被支援玩家從支援者代理進行遊戲操作之後的遊戲狀況 開始進行遊玩。結果，即使於本實施形態2中，亦與前述 實施形態1相同，可提供在被支援玩家一邊進行遊戲操作 一邊進行遊戲的途中，可將其遊戲操作的權限，暫時委託 身爲他人的支援者來進行遊玩之至今未曾有遊戲性。而且 ，藉此，對於初學者玩家來說，有即使在初學者玩家陷入 難以過關之遊戲狀況，只要利用本支援事件，藉由身爲上 級玩家之支援者來度過該遊戲狀況，讓就算是初學者玩家 亦可進行難以過關之遊戲狀況後的遊戲狀況的效果。 又，即使於本實施形態2中，亦可在代理遊玩期間中 ，從被支援玩家進行遊玩之遊戲的所定支援開始時間點（ 進行支援要求操作之時間點）之遊戲狀況，因應支援者所 致之遊戲操作的內容，控制其遊戲進行來代替被支援玩家 -76- 200911339 的遊戲操作。然後’其代理遊玩期間中之遊戲進行所因應 之遊戲畫面，係顯示於該被支援玩家進行遊玩之遊戲單元 1的顯示器2。所以’被支援玩家係可閱覽因應支援者所 致之遊戲操作而進行之遊戲的遊戲畫面°因此’可知身爲 上級玩家之支援者進行何'種遊戲操作’是否：清除前'述支援 開始時間點的遊戲狀況之課題·妨礙等。結果’被支援玩 家係可在早期的階段習得用以享受遊玩本遊戲的要領、技 能、知識等。 又，即使於本實施形態2中’亦可在作爲1台遊戲裝 置之支援者側遊戲單元1中’達成所謂受理需要消費代額 數之支援者的遊戲操作（特別之遊戲操作）之所定特別點 數消費條件時，遵從在被支援玩家的遊戲單元1進行遊玩 之玩家的代額數使用許否操作，決定是否允許被支援玩家 之代額數資料（點數資料）的使用。然後，在不決定允許 其使用時，在支援者側遊戲單元1進行代理遊玩之支援者 ，係無法使用被支援玩家的代額數資料。亦即，在支援者 側遊戲單元1進行代理遊玩之支援者，係對於爲了不使用 自己的代額數資料而使用被支援玩家的代額數資料來進行 遊戲操作，需要該被支援玩家允許其使用。利用如此之構 造，可事先防止被支援玩家與支援者之間的糾紛。 再者，代理遊玩期間中係在被支援玩家之遊戲單元i 進行遊玩之玩家無法進行關於代理遊戲的遊戲操作。具體 來說，在被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的遊戲控制手段控制代 理遊玩期間中之代理遊戲的進行時，係使其遊戲單元丨之 -77- 200911339 遊戲操作受理手段所致之遊戲操作無效或禁止。又，在支 援者側遊戲單兀1的控制手段控制代理遊玩期間中之代理 遊戲的進行時’係使被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的遊戲操作 受理手段所致之遊戲操作中斷或結束或暫時停止。 又，即使在上述之實施形態2，亦已針對代理遊玩期 間中支援者進行需要消費代額數之遊戲操作時，而被支援 玩家不允許代額數之使用率的狀況下，禁止支援者所致之 該遊戲內容所因應之遊戲進行的控制之狀況加以說明，但 是，以進行使記憶於支援者側遊戲單元1之R Α Μ 1 3的代 額數資料僅減少因應該遊戲操作之代額數之份量的處理爲 條件，不禁止該遊戲操作的內容所因應之遊戲進行的控制 亦可。 在前述之實施形態1及2，關於身爲支援者之玩家可 使用身爲他人之被支援玩家的代額數，已舉出代理進行遊 玩他人的遊戲之代理遊玩期間中的狀況爲例加以說明，但 是，作爲在自己的遊戲中可使用他人的代額數之構造亦可 [實施形態3] 接著，與前述實施形態1相同，針對適用於具備複數 作爲遊戲裝置之身爲遊藝場遊戲機的代幣遊戲機的遊戲系 統之其他實施形態加以說明（以下稱本實施形態爲「實施 形態3」）。 再者，在前述實施形態1控制代理遊玩期間中之遊戲 -78- 200911339 進行的是被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，在本 實施形態3，卻是支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1，與 前述實施形態1相異。 因爲本實施形態3之其他地方與前述實施形態1幾近 相同，故以下僅針對其相異點加以說明。 圖2 1係揭示本實施形態3中，在被支援玩家對其他 玩家（支援者）委託支援時的支援委託處理之流程的序列 流程圖。 被支援玩家按下操作按鍵5b，而遊戲單元1的控制 裝置11受理支援要求操作時，控制裝置11係與前述實施 形態1相同，於顯示器2顯示如圖1 5所示之支援者清單 。被支援玩家係觀看顯示於顯示器2之支援者清單，操作 操作桿4及操作按鍵5a來選擇支援者，受理其支援者選 擇操作的控制裝置1 1係對於選擇之支援者的遊戲單元1 ，發送支援要求。於該支援要求係包含有在爲了顯示進行 支援要求操作之時間點的顯示於顯示器2之遊戲畫面所需 之遊戲畫面用資料。 作爲接收該支援要求之支援者側的遊戲單元1之控制 手段的控制裝置1 1，係以所定時機暫時中斷現在進行之 遊戲（支援者使用自己的主角角色來進行由玩之遊戲）。 然後，依據包含於接收之支援要求的遊戲畫面用資料，使 其支援者側遊戲單元1的顯示器2，顯示被支援玩家的遊 戲狀況所對應之遊戲畫面。支援者係觀看其遊戲畫面，考 慮是否承諾支援，使用構成承諾與否操作受理手段之操作 -79- 200911339 桿4及操作按鍵5a，進行用以決定是否承諾支援的操作 〇 在支援者進行承諾支援之要旨的操作時，受理其操作 之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係將支援承諾回應 ，回覆至支援要求之發送來源的遊戲單元1。受理該支援 承諾回應之被支援玩家的遊戲單元1的控制裝置Π ’係 執行使記憶於RAM 1 3之代額數資料，僅減少關於支援承 諾回應之支援者的消費代額數之份量般地變動的代額數變 動處理（玩家點數減算處理）（S8)。之後，控制裝置 11係暫時中斷被支援玩家的遊戲，將表示受理被支援玩 家所致之支援要求操作的時間點（支援開始時間點）之遊 戲狀況的支援開始狀況資料，發送至支援者側的遊戲單元 1。該支援開始狀況資料係支援者側之遊戲單元1的控制 裝置11再次呈現被支援玩家之遊戲單元1之前述支援開 始時間點的遊戲狀況所需之資料。在本實施形態3，將與 被支援玩家的存檔資料相同之資料作爲支援開始狀況資料 而使用。 接收該支援開始狀況資料之支援者側之遊戲單元1的 控制裝置1 1，係讀入接收之支援開始狀況資料，並載入 記憶於ROM12之程式，從其支援開始狀況資料所示之遊 戲狀況開始遊戲。然後，使顯示器2顯示其遊戲狀況所對 應之支援用遊戲畫面。於此支援用遊戲畫面係與前述實施 形態1之狀況相同，顯示有達成支援結束條件爲止之殘留 回合數及殘留時間等。又，支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝 -80- 200911339 置11係將用以顯示其支援用遊戲畫面的代理遊玩畫面用 資料，發送至被支援玩家的遊戲單元1。接收該代理遊玩 畫面用資料之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置U， 係使被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2顯示依據其代理 遊玩畫面用資料之支援用遊戲畫面。 圖22係揭示於本實施形態3中，因應支援者的遊戲 操作，控制遊戲進行的代理遊玩處理之流程的序列流程圖 〇 於本實施形態3中，支援者操作操作桿4及操作按鍵 5a等，而遊戲操作被該支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置 1 1受理時，其控制裝置1 1係首先判斷其遊戲操作是否是 需要消費代額數的遊戲操作。例如，在使用卡片時因爲需 要消費因應其卡片種類之量的代額數，故在此時則判斷需 要消費代額數。在判斷需要消費代額數時，控制裝置1 1 係判斷達成所定點數消費條件，對於被支援玩家的遊戲單 元1，發送代額數消費命令。接收該代額數消費命令之被 支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係使顯示器2顯 示確認是否允許代額數之使用的訊息。看到該訊息之被支 援玩家係使用構成許否指定操作受理手段之操作桿4及操 作按鍵5 a，進行用以決定是否允許使用代額數的操作。 在被支援玩家進行不允許代額數的使用之要旨的操作 時’受理其操作之控制裝置1 1係將拒絕支援者操作之遊 戲操作之要旨的拒絕操作資料（特別操作拒絕資料），發 送至支援者側遊戲單元1。接收該拒絕操作資料之支援者 -81 - 200911339 側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係即使進行該遊戲操作亦 禁止其受理，使顯示器2顯示遊戲操作被拒絕之要旨的訊 息等。接收此訊息，支援者係考慮其他對策來進行其他遊 戲操作，或放棄打破其遊戲狀況時係爲了結束支援而按下 操作按鍵5b。 另一方面，被支援玩家進行允許代額數的使用之要旨 的操作時，受理其操作的控制裝置1 1係判斷達成所定點 數消費條件，進行使關於代額數消費命令之代額數之份量 (亦即，藉由支援者之遊戲操作（特別之操作）而消費之 代額數之份量），從記憶於RAM 1 3之代額數資料減去般 地變動的代額數變動處理（玩家點數減算處理）。然後， 被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1係對於支援者側 遊戲單元1，發送允許該遊戲操作的允許操作資料。接收 該允許操作資料之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1係 因應支援者進行之該遊戲操作來控制遊戲進行，使該支援 者側遊戲單元1的顯示器2顯示因應其遊戲進行的遊戲畫 面之同時，將用以顯示其遊戲畫面的代理遊玩畫面用資料 ，發送至被支援玩家的遊戲單元1。接收該代理遊玩畫面 用資料之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係使 被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的顯示器2顯示依據其代理遊玩 畫面用資料之支援用遊戲畫面。 再者，支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係在判斷 支援者的遊戲操作不是需要消費代額數之遊戲操作時，則 因應其遊戲操作來控制遊戲進行，使該支援者側遊戲單元 -82- 200911339 1的顯示器2顯示因應其遊戲進行的遊戲畫面之同時，胃 用以顯示其遊戲畫面的代理遊玩畫面用資料，發送至被$ 援玩家的遊戲單元1。。 藉由進行如此控制，於本實施形態3中，支援者所至女 之代理遊玩期間中的遊戲進行係藉由支援者側遊戲單元i 的控制裝置11控制。然後，支援者側遊戲單元1的控制J 裝置1 1係在代理遊玩期間中，判斷達成所定支援結束條 件時，則將表示達成所定支援結束條件之時間點（所定支 援結束時間點）之遊戲狀況的遊戲結束狀況資料，對於# 支援玩家的遊戲單元1發送。之後，在支援者側遊戲單元 1，再次開始暫時中斷之支援者的遊戲之進行。 另一方面，接收遊戲結束狀況資料之被支援玩家之遊 戲單元1的控制裝置Π，係讀入接收之支援結束狀況資 料，並載入記憶於ROM12之程式，從其支援結束狀況資 料所示之遊戲狀況，再次開始暫時中斷之被支援玩家的遊 戲之進行。然後，使顯示器2顯示其遊戲狀況所對應之遊 戲畫面。藉此，被支援玩家係可從支援者進行代理遊玩而 達成支援結束條件之時間點的後續來進行遊玩遊戲。 如上所述，即使於本實施形態3中，亦可在代理遊玩 期間中，從被支援玩家進行遊玩之遊戲的所定支援開始時 間點（進行支援要求操作之時間點）之遊戲狀況，因應支 援者所致之遊戲操作的內容，控制其遊戲進行來代替被支 援玩家的遊戲操作。然後，其代理遊玩期間中之遊戲進行 所因應之遊戲畫面，係顯示於該被支援玩家進行遊玩之遊 -83- 200911339 戲單元1的顯示器2。所以，被支援玩家係可閱覽因應支 援者所致之遊戲操作而進行之遊戲的遊戲畫面。因此，可 知身爲上級玩家之支援者進行何種遊戲操作，是否清除前 述支援開始時間點的遊戲狀況之課題·妨礙等。結果，被 支援玩家係可在早期的階段習得用以享受遊玩本遊戲的要 領、技能、知識等。 又，即使在上述之實施形態2及3 ’已針對代理遊玩 期間中支援者進行需要消費代額數的遊戲操作時，減少被 支援玩家的代額數之狀況加以說明，但是，減少支援者的 代額數亦可。 又，在前述之實施形態1乃至3，即使支援者承諾支 援，其支援者的代額數也不會增加，但是，作爲在支援者 承諾支援時，增加其支援者的代額數亦可。具體來說，在 支援者進行承諾支援之要旨的操作時，受理其操作之支援 者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置11係將支援承諾回應，回覆 至支援要求之發送來源的遊戲單元1之同時，執行將記憶 於該支援者側之遊戲單元1的RAM 13之代額數資料’僅 增加所定量份（例如，在被支援玩家的遊戲單元1減少之 代額數份）般地變動的代額數變動處理（支援者點數加算 處理）。 又，在前述實施形態1乃至3，代理遊玩期間中接受 支援者的指示而動作之主角角色雖然是被支援玩家的主角 角色，但是將與被支援玩家的主角角色不同之其他角色與 該被被支援玩家的主角角色替換，依據支援者的指示操作 -84- 200911339 決定該其他角色的動作亦可。該其他角色係例如可使用支 援者的主角角色。以下，舉出前述實施狀態1的遊戲系統 爲例，針對代理遊玩期間中是將支援者的主角角色與被支 援玩家的主角替換之狀況的具體例來加以說明。 在支援者進行承諾支援之要旨的操作時，受理其操作 之支援者側遊戲單元1的控制裝置1 1係將支援承諾回應 ，回覆至支援要求之發送來源的遊戲單元1時，並將記憶 於身爲角色資料記憶手段之RAM13的支援者之遊戲資訊 所包含之主角角色的資料中至少一部份，發送至支援者側 遊戲單元1。在此，於主角角色的資料中係包含有主角角 色的職業、性別、服裝等的資料，以依據該等資料的不同 而遊戲畫面上的主角角色之外觀也會不同般地顯示控制。 所以，即使是相同職業的角色，因爲其性別的不同或服裝 的不同，遊戲畫面上之主角角色的外觀也會不同。然後， 將支援承諾回應回覆至支援要求之發送來源的遊戲單元1 時，亦將記憶於支援者側遊戲單元1的RAM 1 3之支援者 的主角角色資料所包含之性別資料與服裝資料，發送至支 援者側遊戲單元1。接收該支援承諾回應以及性別資料及 服裝資料之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係 在代理遊玩期間中，於因應其遊戲進行之遊戲畫面上，使 依據該性別資料及服裝資料之主角角色出現來代替被支援 玩家的主角角色。藉此，代理遊玩期間中係可進行支援者 的主角角色進入城內之表演來代替被支援玩家的主角角色 -85- 200911339 又，在前述之實施形態1乃至3，因爲與被支援玩家 的主角角色爲相同職業是作爲列舉條件，故被列舉在支援 者清單的僅有使用與被支援玩家的主角角色爲相同職業之 主角角色的支援者。但是，取消該列舉條件，將使用與被 支援玩家的主角角色不同職業之主角角色的支援者，列舉 在支援者清單亦可。此時’如舉出前述實施形態1的遊戲 系統爲例的話，在將支援承諾回應回覆至支援要求之發送 來源的遊戲單元1時，亦將記憶於支援者側遊戲單元1的 RAM 13之支援者的主角角色資料所包含之職業資料，發 送至被支援者側的遊戲單元1，而接收該支援承諾回應及 職業資料之被支援玩家之遊戲單元1的控制裝置11，係 在代理遊玩期間中，於因應其遊戲進行的遊戲畫面上，使 圖23(b)所示之依據該職業資料之主角角色（魔法師） 出現來代替圖23 (a)所示之被支援玩家的主角角色（戰 士）。 進而，此時，在代理遊玩期間中進行支援者之主角角 色的職業資料所因應之遊戲進行控制亦可。因爲依職業的 不同而能力也會不同，例如，有即使是某職業的主角角色 難以打破之遊戲狀況，如果是其他職業的主角角色的話則 可易於打破之狀況。因此會產生善用支援事件，對使用與 自己的主角角色爲不同職業之主角角色的支援者，委託代 理遊玩，而有效率地進入城內之戰略性。 [實施形態4] -86- 200911339 接著，針對適用於具備複數作爲遊戲裝置之身爲遊藝 場遊戲機的代幣遊戲機之另其他實施形態加以說明（以下 稱本實施形態爲「實施形態4」）。 再者，在前述實施形態1及3的代理遊玩期間中之遊 戲操作並不是支援者（人）所致之操作，而是該遊戲單元 1的控制裝置1 1執行之代理遊玩程式所致之擬似操作之 點，與前述實施形態1及3不同。藉由此相異點，關於本 實施形態4之代幣遊戲機係不需要如前述實施形態1及3 般，可與其他代幣遊戲機進行通訊，所以爲獨立作業的遊 戲機即可。 以下，針對本實施形態4，舉出前述實施形態1及3 之遊戲單元1爲例，說明關於前述相異點的具體構造及動 作。 圖24係揭示本實施形態4之代理遊玩處理之流程的 流程圖。 在被支援玩家按下操作按鍵5b，遊戲單元1的控制 裝置11受理支援要求操作時（S11)，控制裝置11係進 行使記憶於RAM 1 3之代額數資料，僅減少所定代額數之 份量般地變動的代額數變動處理（S 1 2 )。之後，控制裝 置1 1係執行記憶於ROM 1 2之代理遊玩程式（S 1 3 )，而 導出可改善所定支援開始時間點（在本實施形態係受理被 支援玩家的支援要求操作之時間點）之遊戲狀況的擬似遊 戲操作的順序。然後，遵從其導出之擬似遊戲操作的順序 (S 1 4 )，控制從該支援開始時間點之遊戲控制狀況的遊 -87- 200911339 戲進行（S19) ’使顯示器2顯示因應其遊戲進行之遊戲 畫面（S20 )。如此之代理遊玩程式係例如可以象棋或西 洋棋之遊戲軟體等的程式來作成。 在此，在虛擬遊戲操作是需要消費代額數之遊戲操作 時（S 1 5的Yes )，例如在使用卡片之狀況，控制裝置1 1 係判斷達成所定點數消費條件，使顯示器2顯示確認是否 允許代額數之使用的訊息（S 1 6 )。看到該訊息之被支援 玩家係使用構成許否指定操作受理手段之操作桿4及操作 按鍵5a，進行用以決定是否允許使用代額數的操作（S 1 7 )。在被支援玩家進行不允許代額數的使用之要旨的操作 時，受理其操作之控制裝置1 1，係再次嘗試導出其他擬 似遊戲操作順序，並其遵從其導出之擬似遊戲操作的順序 (s 1 4 )，控制從該支援開始時間點之遊戲控制狀況的遊 戲進行（S19)，使顯示器2顯示因應其遊戲進行之遊戲 畫面（S20 )。此時，判斷無法導出可改善遊戲狀況之擬 似遊戲操作的順序時’則作爲已達成支援結束條件（S 2 1 )，結束代理遊玩程式’從現在時間點（所定支援結束時 間點）之遊戲狀況’再次開始因應被支援玩家之遊戲操作 的遊戲進行之控制。 另一方面，被支援玩家進行允許代額數的使用之要旨 的操作時，受理其操作的控制裝置1 1係進行使藉由該擬 似遊戲操作（特別之操作）而消費之代額數之份量’從記 億於RAM1 3之代額數資料減去般地變動的代額數變動處 理（S 1 8 )。然後’控制裝置1 1係因應該擬似遊戲操作來 -88- 200911339 控制遊戲進行，並使顯示器2顯示因應其遊戲進行之遊戲 畫面。 在此，即使於本實施形態4中，亦與前述實施形態1 及3之狀況相同，控制裝置1 1係以代理遊玩期間中是較 因應被支援玩家的遊戲操作來控制遊戲進行時之遊戲畫面 更緩慢顯示般地’將因應擬似遊戲操作來進行控制之遊戲 的遊戲畫面，顯示於遊戲畫面2之方式來進行控制。因此 ，於每回合的結束後，約有兩秒鐘，遊戲畫面會靜止，故 被支援玩家易於掌握代理遊玩程式所致之擬似遊戲操作。 再者，不僅是如間歇更新遊戲畫面的方法，例如，作 爲降低回合中之遊戲畫面的顯示速度本身，使其成爲緩慢 顯示亦可。 在判斷達成所定支援結束條件時，控制裝置1 1係從 表示達成所定支援結束條件之時間點（所定支援結束時間 點）之遊戲狀況，再次開始暫時中斷之被支援玩家之遊戲 的進行控制。藉此，被支援玩家係可從代理遊玩程式進行 代理遊玩而達成支援結束條件之時間點的後續來進行遊玩 遊戲。 如上所述，於本實施形態4中，在代理遊玩期間中， 從被支援玩家進行遊玩之遊戲的所定支援開始時間點（進 行支援要求操作之時間點）之遊戲狀況，因應代理遊玩程 式所致之擬似遊戲操作的內容，控制其遊戲進行來代替被 支援玩家的遊戲操作。然後，其代理遊玩期間中之遊戲進 行所因應之遊戲畫面，係顯示於該被支援玩家進行遊玩之 -89- 200911339 遊戲單元1的顯示器2。所以’被支援玩家係可閱覽因應 代理遊玩程式所致之擬似遊戲操作而進行之遊戲的遊戲畫 面。因此，可知代理遊玩程式進行何種擬似遊戲操作’是 否清除前述支援開始時間點的遊戲狀況之課題•妨礙等。 結果，被支援玩家係可在早期的階段習得用以享受遊玩本 遊戲的要領、技能、知識等。 再者，在前述實施形態4，代理遊玩期間中藉由代理 遊玩程式所致之擬似遊戲操作來接受指示而動作之主角角 色雖然是被支援玩家的主角角色，但是將與被支援玩家的 主角角色不同之其他角色與該被被支援玩家的主角角色替 換亦可。該其他角色係例如可使用代理遊玩程式專用的角 色。 又，於前述之實施形態1、3及4中，在代理遊玩期 間結束之後，控制裝置1 1再次開始因應被支援玩家所致 之遊戲操作的遊戲進行之控制，是從代理遊玩期間結束之 時間點的遊戲狀況（亦即，從達成支援結束條件之時間點 的遊戲狀況）開始，但是從其他時間點的遊戲狀況再次開 始亦可。 例如，從前述支援開始時間點的遊戲狀況再次開始亦 可。此時’被支援玩家係可使用在代理遊玩期間中閱覽從 該支援開始時間點之遊戲狀況，支援者或代理遊玩程式進 行了何種遊戲操作而習得之要領、技能、知識等，能以自 己的遊戲操作來打破該支援開始時間點的遊戲狀況。 又，例如從前述支援開始時間點之後的遊戲狀況，且 -90- 200911339 代理遊玩期間結束之時間點之前的遊戲狀況再次開 。具體來說，例如代理遊玩期間是10回合時’從 之5回合結束時間點之遊戲狀況再次開始亦可。如 ，對於被支援玩家，可使其具有以自己的遊戲操作 該支援開始時間點之遊戲狀況的一部份之感覺。 再者，作爲受理用以選擇在代理遊玩期間結束 次開始之遊戲狀況的被支援玩家所致之再次開始時 擇操作之構造，從被支援玩家所致之再次開始時間 操作所對應之遊戲狀況再次開始亦可。 又，於前述之實施形態1、3及4 ’代理遊玩 始之所定支援開始時間點係被支援玩家進行支援要 之時間點，但是爲其他時間點亦可。例如，將較被 家進行支援要求操作之時間點前（例如2〜3回合 時間點，作爲支援開始時間點亦可。一般來說，被 家進行支援要求操作時的遊戲狀況’大多可預想是 無法搶救之狀況。此時，即使進行支援要求操作， 法獲得任何支援者來代理遊玩，或代理遊玩程式亦 到打破的對策而結束支援，有妨礙到支援事件的順 之可能性。另一方面，如果是較被支援玩家進行支 操作之時間點稍微前面的時間點之遊戲狀況，亦可 大多可藉由上級玩家來打破僵局。因此，將較被支 進行支援要求操作之時間點前（例如2〜3回合前 間點，作爲支援開始時間點的話，可實現支援事件 運用。 始亦可 其一半 此狀況

Sended to game unit 1 of #Support player. after that, On the supporter side game unit 1, The game of the supporter who temporarily suspends is resumed. on the other hand, The control device of the game unit 1 of the supported player that receives the game end status data, Read in the received support end status data, And load the program stored in ROM12, From the status of the game as shown in the support end status data, The game of the supported player who is temporarily interrupted is started again. then, The display 2 is caused to display the game screen corresponding to its game status. With this, The supported player can perform the game by following the point in time when the supporter performs the agent play and the support end condition is reached. As mentioned above, Even in the third embodiment, Also during the agent play, The game status of the scheduled support start time (the time point at which the support request operation is performed) from the game played by the supported player, In response to the content of the game operations caused by the supporters, Control the gameplay to replace the gameplay of the supported player. then, The game screen during the agent's play period, the game screen that responds to it, It is displayed on the supported player's tour -83- 200911339 Play unit 1 display 2. and so, The supported player is a game screen that allows the game to be played in response to the game operation by the supporter. therefore, You can know what kind of game operation is performed by the supporter of the superior player. Whether to clear the problem of the game situation at the time of the support start time and the obstruction. result, Supported players can learn at the early stages to enjoy the game, skill, Knowledge, etc. also, Even in the above-described Embodiments 2 and 3', when the supporter needs to consume the game amount for the game during the agent play period, Explain the situation of reducing the number of tokens supported by the player, but, It is also possible to reduce the number of sponsors. also, In the first embodiment to the third embodiment, Even if the supporter promises to support, The number of its supporters will not increase. but, When the supporter promises support, It is also possible to increase the number of tokens of its supporters. Specifically, When the supporter performs the operation of the commitment support, The control device 11 of the support side game unit 1 that accepts the operation thereof will support the commitment response. Reply to the game unit 1 that supports the requested source, Executing the amount of credit data of the RAM 13 of the game unit 1 that is to be memorized on the supporter side is increased by only the quantified portion (for example, The number of changes in the amount of the number of changes (the number of support points is added to the amount of the number of the number of the game units 1 to be reduced). also, In the first embodiment to the third embodiment, The protagonist character who receives the supporter's instructions during the agent's play period is the protagonist of the supported player. However, the other characters different from the main character of the supported player are replaced with the main character of the supported player. According to the instructions of the supporter -84- 200911339 It is also possible to determine the actions of the other characters. This other role is for example the use of the supporter's lead role. the following, Taking the game system of the foregoing implementation state 1 as an example, A specific example of the situation in which the protagonist of the supporter and the protagonist of the supported player are replaced in the agent play period will be described. When the supporter performs the operation of the commitment support, The control device 1 1 of the supporter side game unit 1 that accepts the operation thereof will support the commitment response. When replying to game unit 1 that supports the requested source, And will be recorded in at least a part of the material of the protagonist character included in the game information of the supporter of RAM13 as a means of character data memory. Send to the support side game unit 1. here, In the material of the protagonist character, the occupation that contains the protagonist role, gender, Information such as clothing, The appearance of the character's character on the game screen will also be displayed differently depending on the information. and so, Even the role of the same profession, Because of their gender or clothing, The appearance of the protagonist character on the game screen will also be different. then, When the support commitment response is replied to the game unit 1 of the source of the support request, The gender data and clothing materials included in the lead character data of the supporter of the RAM 1 3 of the supporter side game unit 1 will also be stored. Sent to the support side game unit 1. Receiving the control device 11 of the game unit 1 of the supported player who supports the commitment response and the gender information and the clothing information, During the agent play, On the game screen in response to its game, The protagonist character of the supported player is replaced by the appearance of the protagonist character based on the gender data and the clothing material. With this, During the agent's play, the protagonist's role of the supporter enters the city's performance to replace the lead character of the supported player. -85- 200911339 Also, In the first embodiment to the third embodiment, Because the same role as the protagonist of the supported player is the enumeration condition. Therefore, it is only the supporter who uses the role of the protagonist of the same occupation as the protagonist of the supported player. but, Cancel the enumeration condition, The supporter of the protagonist character who is different from the protagonist of the supported player will be used. Listed in the list of supporters. In this case, as exemplified by the game system of the first embodiment, When the support commitment response is replied to the game unit 1 of the transmission source of the support request, The professional information included in the lead character data of the supporter of the RAM 13 of the supporter side game unit 1 is also stored. Sended to the game unit 1 on the side of the supportee, And the control device 11 of the game unit 1 of the supported player who receives the support commitment response and the professional information, During the agent play, On the game screen in response to its game, The main character (warrior) of the supported player shown in Fig. 23(a) is replaced by the main character (magician) according to the occupational data shown in Fig. 23(b). and then, at this time, It is also possible to control the game in which the professional data of the protagonist's role is supported during the agent's play. Because the ability will be different depending on the occupation, E.g, There are even the protagonist characters of a profession that are difficult to break the game situation, If it is the protagonist of other professions, it can easily break the situation. Therefore, there will be a good use of support incidents, For supporters who use the protagonist role of their own protagonist role, Entrusted to play, And the strategic entry into the city efficiently. [Embodiment 4] -86- 200911339 Next, Another embodiment of a token game machine that is applied to a casino game machine having a plurality of game devices as a game device will be described (hereinafter, this embodiment is "Embodiment 4"). Furthermore, The game operation during the agent play period of the first and third embodiments is not an operation by the supporter (person). Rather, it is the point of the pseudo-operational operation caused by the proxy game program executed by the control device 1 1 of the game unit 1, It is different from the above-described first and third embodiments. By this difference, The token game machine of the fourth embodiment is not required to be as in the first and third embodiments. Can communicate with other token gaming machines, So it is a game machine that works independently. the following, With regard to the fourth embodiment, The game unit 1 of the first and third embodiments is taken as an example. The specific configuration and operation of the aforementioned different points will be described. Fig. 24 is a flow chart showing the flow of the agent play processing in the fourth embodiment. When the supported player presses the operation button 5b, When the control device 11 of the game unit 1 receives the support request operation (S11), The control device 11 is configured to exercise the amount of credit data stored in the RAM 13. The number-of-quantity variation processing (S 1 2 ) is performed by reducing only the amount of the predetermined number of shares. after that, The control device 1 1 executes a proxy game program (S 1 3 ) memorized in the ROM 1 2, Further, the order of the pseudo game operation which can improve the game state of the predetermined support start time point (in the present embodiment, the time when the support request operation of the supported player is accepted) is improved. then, Following the order in which the derived game operations are derived (S 1 4 ), The game control state from the start time of the support is controlled - 87 - 200911339 (S19) 'The display 2 is displayed on the game screen in response to the game (S20). Such a proxy game program can be created, for example, by a program such as chess or chess game software. here, When the virtual game operation is a game operation that requires a consumption amount (S 1 5 Yes), For example, in the case of using a card, The control device 1 1 determines that the specified number of points consumption conditions are met, The display 2 is caused to display a message confirming whether or not the use of the number of tokens is permitted (S 16 6). When the player who sees the message is supported, the player uses the joystick 4 and the operation button 5a constituting the designated operation acceptance means. An operation for determining whether or not to allow the use of the number of tokens is performed (S 17 7). When the supported player performs an operation that does not allow the use of the number of tokens, Control device 1 that accepts its operation Try again to export other similar game operations. And in accordance with the order in which the derived game operations are derived (s 1 4 ), Controlling the progress of the game control situation from the support start time point (S19), The display 2 is caused to display a game screen (S20) in response to its game. at this time, When it is judged that the order of the game operation that can improve the game situation cannot be derived, then as the support end condition (S 2 1 ) is reached, The completion of the agent game program 'the game status ‘ from the current time point (the predetermined support end time point) is restarted in response to the game operation of the game operation of the supported player. on the other hand, When the supported player performs an operation that allows the use of the number of tokens, The control device 1 1 that accepts the operation thereof performs a process of changing the amount of the number of the shares consumed by the pseudo game operation (special operation) by subtracting the amount of the amount of the amount of the credit amount of the memory from the RAM 1 3 (S 1 8 ). Then the control device 1 1 controls the game according to the game operation, -88- 200911339, And cause the display 2 to display a game screen in response to its game. here, Even in the fourth embodiment, Also in the same manner as in the first and third embodiments, The control device 1 1 is a game screen in which the game screen at the time of the game progress is controlled in accordance with the game operation of the supported player, and the game screen controlled in accordance with the game operation is controlled to be displayed more slowly. Displayed on the game screen 2 to control. Therefore, After the end of each round, About two seconds, The game screen will be still, Therefore, it is easy for the supported player to grasp the pseudo game operation caused by the agent game program. Furthermore, Not only a method of intermittently updating game screens, E.g, As a result of reducing the display speed of the game screen in the round, Make it a slow display. When judging that the agreed end condition is reached, The control device 1 1 is a game state indicating the time point at which the predetermined support end condition is reached (the predetermined support end time point). The control of the game of the supported player who is temporarily interrupted is started again. With this, The supported player can perform the play game after the agent game is played by the agent game program and the support end condition is reached. As mentioned above, In the fourth embodiment, During the agent play, The game status from the scheduled support start time point (the time point when the support request operation is performed) of the game played by the supported player, The content of the game-like operation caused by the agent's gameplay, Control the progress of the game in place of the game operation of the supported player. then, The game screen in the game during the agent's play period, It is displayed on the display 2 of the game unit 1 of the -89- 200911339 supported by the supported player. Therefore, the 'supported player' can view the game screen of the game played in response to the game-like operation caused by the agent game program. therefore, It is known that the proxy game program performs a game-like operation, and whether or not the problem of the game state at the start time of the support is cleared is eliminated. result, Supported players can learn the essentials of playing this game at an early stage. skill, Knowledge, etc. Furthermore, In the foregoing embodiment 4, During the agent play period, the protagonist role caused by the proxy game program to accept the instruction is the protagonist role of the supported player. However, it is also possible to replace the other character different from the main character of the supported player with the protagonist of the supported player. This other role is, for example, a role that is specific to the agent game. also, In the foregoing embodiment 1, 3 and 4, After the end of the agent play, The control device 1 1 again starts control of the game in accordance with the game operation by the supported player, Is the state of the game from the point in time when the agent is playing (ie, Starting from the game status at the time when the support end condition is reached, However, the game situation from other time points can start again. E.g, It is also possible to restart the game situation from the start of the support. At this time, the supported player can use the game status during the agent play period to view the time from the support start time. What kind of game operations the supporter or agent play program has learned, skill, Knowledge, etc. It is possible to break the game situation at the start time of the support with its own game operation. also, For example, the game situation after the start of the support time point, And -90- 200911339 The game status before the end of the agent play period is reopened. Specifically, For example, when the agent play period is 10 rounds, the game state may be restarted from the end time of the 5th round. Such as , For supported players, It can be made to have a part of the game state of the support start time point with its own game operation. Furthermore, As a structure for accepting the restart operation of the supported player for selecting the game state at the end of the agent play period, The game situation corresponding to the restart time operation from the supported player can be started again. also, In the foregoing embodiment 1, 3 and 4 ’ Agent Tour The start time of the support is set at the time when the support player supports it. But for other time points. E.g, It will be before the time when the support operation is required (for example, 2~3 rounds, It can also be used as a support start time. Generally speaking, It is expected that the state of the game when the user is required to perform the operation is not able to be rescued. at this time, Even if support is required, Get any supporters to act as agents. Or the agent game program ends the support by breaking the countermeasures. There is a possibility of hindering the support incident. on the other hand, If it is a game situation that is slightly ahead of the time when the supported player is performing the operation, Most of them can also break the deadlock by the superior players. therefore, It will be more than the time before the support operation is required (for example, the 2 to 3 rounds before the point, As the start time of support, Support for event use. In the case of the start of the game, it is possible to use the game to support the game. also, In the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment, The number of times the support incident can be limited is also acceptable. E.g, As a supported player who has used the support event once, after a predetermined period of time (the number of rounds is specified), Or when the floor in the city changes, Cannot accept the support request operation. also, The supported players are mostly unable to grasp the appropriate timing for the support request operation. Therefore, when the support promotion condition is reached during the game of the supported player, As for the supported players, Notification processing for teaching the timing of the support request operation is also possible. As the support promotion condition, For example, it will be displayed on the game screen of the display 2, Even if the main character is attacked twice, the enemy monsters that cannot be knocked down appear. There are more than 3 enemy monsters on the game screen. It is also possible to perform the input from the end of the last round for 1 sec. also, As a notification processing system, for example, a display display auxiliary window may be provided. Or the light of the operation button 5 b is flashed. As the content of the auxiliary window, It shows "a monster that appears strong. Try to use "Support" when you are in trouble. , "May be surrounded by many monsters. Try to use "Support" when you have difficulty. , "Try to use "Support" when you get lost. Note. Further, in the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment, As a supporter of the commitment support, after a predetermined period of time, Can't promise support. also, In the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment, The external device that has been operated by the supporter is the same as the game device that is played by the supported player. The game device that is played with the supported player is a different game device. It is also possible as a device (personal computer or the like) that is not a game device. -92- 200911339 Again, In the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment, The point data that has been consumed for the player is described as a condition that can be converted into a token amount as a token of the body. but, As a point data that cannot be converted into a token that is a body, it is also possible. When using such points, The game device constituting the game system to which the present invention is applied is not a token game machine. Further, in the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment, The operation of indicating the action of the protagonist character has been performed for the execution of the player's use, To illustrate the protagonist's character system for a maze adventure or a role-playing game for the castle's occupation. but, The present invention is applicable to various games. E.g, It can also be applied to the operation of the player to indicate the action of his own fighter as the operating object. The own fighter jets are used to shoot enemy warplanes while playing the game with the purpose of occupying enemy base stations. Further, for example, it is also applicable to a game in which a player develops a horse racing simulation game by performing a game operation in which various instructions are executed.
