DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a monitor screen 12 is provided on the base 11.
A speaker 25 for outputting a sound effect is provided below the monitor screen 12. Monitor screen 12
An operation panel 13 is provided on the upper surface of the base 11 on the front side of the operation panel 13. The operation panel 13 is provided with a first attack button 14, a second attack button 15, and a third attack button 16 as attack means, which are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, each of the attack buttons 14 to
16 is constantly urged upward by a spring 17. A shaft 18 is provided on the lower surface of each of the attack buttons 14 to 16.
Are formed integrally, and the coaxial 18 protrudes from the back surface of the operation panel 13. Below the operation panel 13, a-contact type first to third limit switches 19 to 21 corresponding to the attack buttons 14 to 16 are provided below the operation panel 13 so as to face the tips of the shafts 18. . Each of the limit switches 19 to 21 is turned on based on contact with the shaft 18. That is, each of the limit switches 19 to 21 is turned on when the attack buttons 14 to 16 are depressed by a predetermined amount.

The operation panel 13 is formed of a synthetic resin having flexibility. Then, the operation panel 1 at a position facing the lower surface of each of the attack buttons 14 to 16
The first to third punch force sensors 22 to 24 as operating force detecting means are provided on the back surface of the third unit 3, respectively. In the present embodiment, piezoelectric acceleration sensors are used as the punch force sensors 22 to 24. Punch force sensor 2
2 to 24 are attack buttons 14 to 1 depending on the game player.
When the button 6 is pressed and the attack buttons 14 to 16 are lowered, the acceleration is detected, and a voltage corresponding to the acceleration is output to a controller C described later. That is, since the acceleration when the attack buttons 14 to 16 are lowered increases as the impact when the attack button is pressed is increased, the voltage output from the punch force sensors 22 to 24 indicates that the punch force is lower. The greater the strength, the larger.

Next, the electrical configuration of the fighting game machine configured as described above will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG.
The limit switches 19 to 21 and the punch force sensors 22 to 24 are connected to the input side of the controller C as attack hit determination means and damage calculation means. In addition,
In the present embodiment, a display means is constituted by the monitor screen 12 and the controller C. Controller C
Is connected to the monitor screen 12 and the speaker 25. As shown in FIG.
Corresponds to the first area E corresponding to the attack buttons 14 to 16.
The enemy character T is divided into three areas of a first area, a second area E2, and a third area E3, and the enemy character T appears randomly in any one of the three areas E1 to E3. The attack on the enemy character T appearing on the monitor screen 12 is performed in the areas E1 to E3 where the enemy character T appears.
Can be performed by pressing the attack buttons 14 to 16 corresponding to. A first attack button 14 corresponds to the first area E1, a second attack button 15 corresponds to the second area E2, and a third attack button 16 corresponds to the third area E3. Therefore, for example, when the enemy character T appears in the second area E2, the enemy character T can be attacked by pressing the second attack button 15.

At the top of the monitor screen 12, a horizontally long level meter 26 indicating the damage state of the enemy character T is displayed. The level meter 26 is kept in an all-lit state at the start of the game.

Next, control contents executed by the controller C will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the controller C. First, step 101
, The controller C has any one of the areas E1 to E1.
The enemy character T is displayed on E3. Next Step 10
In No. 2, limit switches 19 to 21 corresponding to the area within a predetermined time after the appearance of the enemy character T
It is determined whether or not is turned on. In this step, the controller C determines whether or not an attack hits the enemy character T based on the ON operation of the limit switches 19 to 21. The controller C controls the limit switches 19 to 2 corresponding to the areas E1 to E3 in which the enemy character T appears.
If it is determined that No. 1 has been turned on within a predetermined time, Step 1
Shift to 03. On the other hand, if the controller C determines that the corresponding limit switch 19 to 21 has not been turned on within a predetermined time, the process proceeds to step 104, where the enemy character T is moved to another area E1 to E3, and Return to

In step 103, the punch force sensor 22 corresponding to the turned-on limit switches 19 to 21 and
The level meter 26 is turned off by an amount corresponding to the punching force detected by (1). Then, in the next step 105, it is determined whether or not the level meter 26 has become zero. If it is determined that the level meter 26 has become zero, the process proceeds to step 106.

In step 106, as shown in FIG. 5, after the maximum punching force and the number of punch hits detected by the punching force sensors 22 to 24 are displayed on the monitor screen 12, the game is over and the process ends. on the other hand,
If it is determined that the level meter 26 has not yet become zero, the process proceeds to step 107, and it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the game was started. here,
When it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, step 106
Move to On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step 104, and the subsequent processing is repeated.

In the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained by configuring the fighting game machine as described above. (1) When an attack (punch) hits the enemy character T, the enemy character is determined according to the pressing force (operation force) when the attack buttons 14 to 16 detected by the punch force sensors 22 to 24 are pressed. Made damage to T different.

That is, in the present embodiment, an attack hits the enemy character T, and the amount of damage to the enemy character T is determined based on the strength of the punch force hit. As described above, in the present embodiment, the amount of damage to the enemy character T is determined on the basis of the two factors. Therefore, it is not possible to quickly defeat the enemy character T simply by hitting the enemy character T with an attack. As described above, in the fighting game machine of the present embodiment, the punching force is also considered, so that the game can be played more interestingly.

(2) Since the maximum punching power hitting the enemy character T is displayed on the monitor screen 12, the game can be enjoyed as a game in which the punching power is competed. (3) The monitor screen 12 is divided into three areas E1 to E3, and the attack buttons 14 to 16 are assigned to the respective areas E1 to E3.
Three are provided corresponding to 1 to E3. Then, an attack is applied to the enemy character T only when the attack buttons 14 to 16 corresponding to the areas E1 to E3 in which the enemy character T appears are pressed. That is, the areas E1 to E3 in which the enemy character T appears and the pressed attack button 1
If 4 to 16 do not match, no attack is applied to the enemy character T. Thereby, game characteristics can be further improved.

(4) In addition to the punch force sensors 22 to 24, limit switches 19 to 21 for detecting that the attack buttons 14 to 16 are pressed are provided. Accordingly, the attack button 1 that is not depressed by some impact (for example, an impact when the adjacent attack buttons 14 to 16 are depressed).
Even when the punch force sensors 22 to 24 corresponding to 4 to 16 detect an impact, the detection is invalid unless the limit switches 19 to 21 are turned on. Thereby, malfunction can be prevented, and the game can be played more happily.

The present invention may be implemented as follows. (1) In the above embodiment, the enemy character T is attacked by pressing the attack buttons 14 to 16 as attack means. However, the attack is performed on the enemy character by, for example, stepping on the button with a foot. Alternatively, a configuration may be used in which an enemy character is attacked by operating a lever or rotating a roller. When attacking an enemy character by lever operation, damage to the enemy character changes due to the force at which the lever is operated. Further, when the roller is rotated to attack the enemy character, the damage to the enemy character changes depending on the rotation amount and the rotation speed of the roller.

(2) The number of areas of the monitor screen 12 may be changed as appropriate to be embodied. Of course, also in this case, the number of attack buttons as attack means is made to correspond to the number of areas. (3) Although the maximum punching force hit at the end of the game is displayed, this may be omitted to be embodied.
