However, since a home computer game machine is a unit composed of only the game machine itself, it cannot function by itself, and is connected to a display such as a television receiver during a game. There is a need to. Further, since a commercial AC power supply is required as an operation power supply, the portable power supply cannot be used.

[0004] The present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0005]

Therefore, according to the present invention, there is provided a main body portion and a lid portion, wherein the lid portion is foldable with respect to the main body portion. Color display means is provided on a surface facing the main body, operation keys are provided on a surface of the main body facing the lid, and a battery pack of a rechargeable battery serving as an operation power supply is provided on the main body. Is a computer game machine which is detachably mounted. Therefore, the game machine operates with the battery and also operates alone as a game machine.

[0006]

1 and 2 show an embodiment of a computer game machine according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a state in which a cover is opened, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which the cover is closed.

In these figures, reference numeral 10 denotes the computer game machine as a whole, and the game machine 10 comprises a main body 11 and a lid 12, and the lid 12 is folded with respect to the main body 11. It is provided freely, and is configured such that when the lid 12 is closed, the lid 12 covers the upper surface of the main body 11 and has a flat rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole.

A color LCD 13 is provided inside the cover 12 as display means, and as shown in FIG. 1, when the cover 12 is opened, the display screen of the LCD 13 can be viewed. At the same time, the contents of the game and the like are displayed in color.

Further, various circuits for constituting a computer game machine, such as a microcomputer having a CPU of 16 bits or more, are provided inside the main body 11. The upper surface of the main body 11 is used as a game operation surface. Various operation keys 14 such as cursor keys are arranged on the upper surface of the main unit 11, and a game or the like can be executed through the operation keys 14.

An operation section 15 is connected to the game machine 10 through a drawer cord 151. The operation unit 15 also has operation keys 152 similar to the operation keys 14, but when the operation unit 15 is not used,
The operation key 152 is stored in a storage section 16 provided on the front surface of the main body section 11 and can be taken out only when necessary.

Although not shown, a drive mechanism for a CD-ROM is provided inside the main body 11, and a CD-ROM is inserted through a slot 17 formed on the front surface of the main body 11.
When the ROM 20 is mounted, a program such as a game recorded on the CD-ROM 20 can be executed.

An infrared light transmitting / receiving section 18 is provided on the right side of the main body 11, and communication with another game machine is performed through the infrared light transmitted and received by the light transmitting / receiving section 18. It is made possible to execute a battle game or the like. Further, a battery pack 19 containing a rechargeable battery serving as an operating power supply of the game machine 10 is detachably mounted on the right side surface of the main body 11.

Although not shown, a connector is provided on the rear surface of the main body 11, and when this connector is connected to a display, for example, a general television receiver through a predetermined cable, the display contents of the LCD 13 are displayed on the television receiver. It can be displayed on the machine.

According to such a configuration, since the game machine has the LCD 13, the game can be played by the game machine alone. In addition, since the battery pack 19 is operated by the battery pack 19, the battery pack 19 can be used even without a commercial AC power supply and can be carried and used.

Further, since the game machine 10 is divided into a main body 11 and a lid 12, and the lid 12 can be folded, the game machine 10 can be carried and moved. If necessary, the user can connect to a television receiver and play a game while watching a large screen.

Further, since the light transmitting / receiving unit 18 is provided, a battle game or the like can be executed in cooperation with two or more other game machines. In addition, at that time, the cordless connection with the partner device is eliminated, and there is no troublesome connection with the cord.

[0017]

According to the present invention, since the display means is provided, the game can be played by the game machine alone. Also, since the battery pack is operated by a battery pack, it can be carried and used. Further, the lid 12
Can be folded, so that it can be carried and moved.
