Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of use] The present invention relates to a boxing game machine installed in a game arcade.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a boxing game machine installed in a game arcade measures the punch power of each player's blow to compete for superiority or inferior punch power of each player.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above boxing game machine, it is not possible to enjoy simulated boxing in which a punch is exchanged with an opponent and the punch is delivered while confirming the damage given to the opponent. There was a problem. In addition, I couldn't enjoy simulated boxing, where I could punch against my opponents and damage each other. The purpose of the present invention is to allow a dummy in a TV monitor to play a punch based on a punch that a player plays, and to play a boxing game rich in interest by playing a match between the dummy and a virtual enemy in the TV monitor. Furthermore, it is to provide a boxing game machine in which the dummy can be moved within the TV monitor based on the movement of the player.

Structure of the Invention [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a percussion bag erected on a base and pressure sensors provided at a plurality of portions of the percussion bag. A TV monitor for displaying an image in which a player's dummy and a virtual enemy face each other and face each other; a mat switch provided on the base for detecting the weight shift of the player in the front-rear and left-right directions; Based on the outputs from the sensor and the mat switch, a punch corresponding to each output of each pressure sensor is fed to the dummy of the player in the image of the TV monitor, and a moving operation corresponding to each output of each mat switch is performed. The boxing game machine is provided with the control means for controlling.

[Operation] By the above means, when the player hits the hitting bag, the dummy inside the TV monitor punches out to the virtual enemy based on the output signals of the respective pressure-sensitive sensors. When the player moves on the mat switch, the dummy moves in the TV monitor based on the output signal of the mat switch.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In a boxing game machine 1, a cylindrical hitting bag 3 is erected in front of a base 2 and a control device is provided behind the base 2. Four
Is erected. The hitting bag 3 is formed so that the inside of the outer skin is filled with a cushioning material so that it can be hit with bare hands, and the hitting head 5 is formed at the upper end of the hitting bag 5 so as to project slightly forward and imitate a human head. First, second, third and fourth pressure-sensitive sensors 6, 7, 8 and 9 are embedded in the front, left and right side surfaces and the jaw, respectively. Then, the first pressure-sensitive sensor 6 detects the strength of the punch to the front of the face, that is, the strength of the straight punch, and the second and third pressure-sensitive sensors 7 and 8 detect the strength of the left and right sides of the face, that is, the strength of the left and right hook punches. The fourth pressure-sensitive sensor 9 detects the strength of the punch to the jaw, that is, the strength of the upper cut punch. A fifth pressure-sensitive sensor 10 is embedded below the striking head 5 to detect the strength of punching to the abdomen, that is, body blowing.

A sixth pressure sensor 11 is provided on the upper end of the hitting bag 3 and is used when the player reduces or eliminates damage received from a virtual enemy.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lower end of the strut 12 that supports the center of the hitting bag 3 is supported by the base 2 via the universal joint 13, and the lower end of the circumference of the hitting bag 3 is connected to the coil spring 14. The coil spring 14 is the base 2
Supported above. Therefore, the hitting bag 3 can be tilted in any direction with the lower end thereof as a fulcrum.

A forward switch 15, a backward switch 16, a leftward switch 17, and a rightward switch 18 are provided on the base 2 in front of the hitting bag 3 as mat switches that are operated by a player stepping on the base 2.

A TV monitor 19 is provided above the control device 4.
A coin shooter 20 is provided below the TV monitor 19,
A speaker 21 is provided below the coin shooter 20.

Next, the electrical configuration of the boxing game machine 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The output signals of the first to fifth pressure sensitive sensors 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and Output signals of the front direction switch 15, the rear direction switch 16, the left direction switch 17, and the right direction switch 18 are output to the CPU 22. Also,
The output signal of the coin shooter 20 is also output to the CPU 22, and when the coin shooter 20 detects insertion of a coin, the operation of the CPU 22 is started based on the output signal.

ROM23 connected to the CPU22, a program for operating the CPU22 based on the output signal of each sensor and each switch to display an image on the TV monitor 19 and to utter a predetermined sound from the speaker 21, Image data and audio data are stored. Then, by the operation of the CPU 22 based on each data, the virtual enemy 24 and the player's dummy 25 are projected on the TV monitor 19 so as to face each other, and the virtual enemy is displayed.
24 operates based on the program stored in ROM23.

Similarly, the RAM 26 connected to the CPU 22 is a virtual enemy 24 and a dummy 25.
It is designed to remember the damage done to. Then, when the sixth pressure sensor 11 is pressed, the damage stored in the RAM 26 is erased.

Next, the operation of the boxing game machine 1 will be described.

When playing the boxing game machine 1 configured as described above, first, a predetermined coin is inserted into the coin shooter 20. Then, the operation of the CPU 22 is started, the game time, for example, the countdown of 80 seconds is started, and the state becomes such that the output signals from the respective pressure-sensitive sensors 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 can be received. In addition, the virtual enemy 24 is displayed on the TV monitor 19, and the dummy 25 of the player himself is displayed so as to face the virtual enemy 24.

When the player hits the hitting bag 3 in this state, the dummy 25 in the TV monitor 19 detects the virtual enemy 24 based on the punching force detected by the pressure-sensitive sensors 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 and the hitting portion. Hit.
Further, the punch delivered by the virtual enemy 24 can be avoided by ducking or waving by stepping on any of the switches 15, 16, 17, 18 on the base 2. When the dummy 25 or the virtual enemy 24 damages the opponent, a sound effect corresponding to the damage is output to the speaker 21.
Is output from. In this way, when punching out with the virtual enemy 24 and damaging each other,
The damages given to the virtual 24 and the dummy 25 are sequentially added and stored in RAM, and when the damage exceeds a certain value, it becomes KO. Then, after the virtual enemy 24 or the dummy 25 is KOed, a new game can be started by pressing the sixth pressure sensor 11.

As described above, this boxing game machine 1 has a TV monitor 19
The attack of the virtual enemy 24 projected on each direction switch 15,16,
A virtual enemy is displayed on the TV monitor 19 by punching out against the hitting bag 3 while avoiding the change of 17, 18
You can enjoy simulated boxing between 24 and the player's own dummy 25. The sound effect output from the speaker 21 varies depending on the amount of damage caused by each punch, so that a powerful game can be enjoyed.

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the player appropriately mixes the stepping operation of each mat switch and the punching-out from each direction with respect to the hitting bag, so that the player can see the image on the TV monitor. It is an excellent feature that you can make a variety of punch attacks against virtual enemies while doing the action of dodging attacks from virtual enemies by ducking or waving to the dummy and enjoy a boxing game with a lot of interest Be effective.
