There is something. Those that actually fire bullets are very popular because they give the feel of handling a real gun.

In a conventional shooting game machine of the type that actually fires a bullet, a target plate on which a target is drawn is moved left and right, and a player is aimed at the target with a gun. The gun is, for example, an air gun, and bullets are fired by compressed air. When the bullet collides, the target plate is punched out, leaving bullet holes. After hitting a predetermined number of bullets, the target board is given to the player. The player can look at the target plate on which the bullet holes are left, check his shooting arm, and enjoy it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional shooting game machine, it was difficult to determine during shooting whether or not the bullet correctly punched the target because the target plate was far away. As described above, in the conventional shooting game machine, it is impossible to know the shooting result of the player during the game until the target plate reaches the hand, and there is a problem that the game performance is lacking. In addition, since the shooting result can be known only from the target board, the shooting result cannot be grasped as a hit rate or the like by a number, and there is a problem that the game performance is poor.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a shooting game machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. The gun 10, which is a shooting means, is placed in a counter cabinet 12 in front of the shooting machine, and a grip 10 of the gun 10 is provided.
From a, an air pipe 14 for sending air for firing bullets is connected to a bullet supply device (not shown) provided below the counter cabinet 12. A target mechanism 17 to which a target plate 16 is attached is provided at the back of the shooting game machine, and moves left and right as described later. Above the target mechanism 17, there is a game display section 18 that indicates a game state. The game display section 18 has a “PLAY” display section 18 indicating that a game is being played.
a, "GAME OVER" display section 18 indicating that the game is over
b, there is a bullet display section 18c showing the number of remaining bullets.

In the game display section 18, a target board storage section 20 in which a large number of target boards 16 are stored is suspended. A transport path 22 for transporting the target plate 16 after the shooting is completed toward the front of the shooting game machine is provided below the target storage unit 20. This transport path
At the front end of 22, a target plate port 24 for passing the target plate 16 to the player is provided. When the game starts, the target plate 16 sent from the target plate storage unit 20 is attached to the target mechanism 17,
The target mechanism 17 moves the target plate 16 right and left. When the game is over, the punched target plate 16 is removed from the target mechanism 17, reaches the target plate port 24 through the transport path 22, and is passed to the player.

A coin insertion slot 26 for inserting coins for a game and a coin return slot 28 for returning coins are provided in a lower right portion of a front surface of the shooting game machine. Further, a card insertion slot 30 for inserting a prepaid card is provided above the coin insertion slot 26 and the coin return slot 28.

A ticket outlet 29 is provided on the front left side of the shooting game machine. A ticket that can be exchanged for exchanging drinks or the like as a bonus upon hit is ejected from the ticket outlet 29.

A start button 32 for starting a game and an explanation panel 34 on which a description of the game and the like are described are provided above the target board opening 24.
Is provided. Further, a display device 36 of, for example, a CRT is provided at an upper portion. The display device 36 displays a landing state during a game, and displays a description of the game or the like when the game is not performed. Details of the display contents will be described later.

Next, the details of the target mechanism 17 and the mechanism for moving the target mechanism 17 right and left will be described with reference to FIG.

The target mechanism 17 is mounted on a moving table 38, and the moving table 38 is moved left and right on a moving rail 37. The moving table 38 can be moved on the moving rail 37 by moving a belt 39 attached to the bottom of the moving table 38 with a motor (not shown).

In order to tilt the target mechanism 17 backward when the bullet hits the target, the target mechanism 17 is rotatably mounted on the axis of the gear 38a of the moving base 38. A motor (not shown) for tilting backward is attached to the gear 38b. When the motor is rotated, the gear 38a rotates via the gear 38b, and the target mechanism 17 tilts backward according to the rotation angle.

A target plate is provided between the opposing support plates 17a and 17b of the target mechanism 17.
16, the blocking plate 40 and the collision switch fixing plate 44 are sandwiched.

On the surface of the target plate 16, for example, five targets 16a to be aimed
Is drawn. These targets 16a are drawn with fluorescent paint, and can be raised by being illuminated by a black light (not shown) provided below the moving rail 37 so that the player can clearly recognize the targets 16a. I have to.

The target plate 16 is sandwiched between opposing feed belts 17c, and the feed belt 17c is driven by a feed motor 17e via a belt 17d. The target plate 16 taken out of the target plate storage section 20 is sent by a feed belt 17c.
When the limit switch 38c is mounted on the movable base 38 and the limit switch 38c is turned on, the feed motor 17e stops and the mounting is completed. Thus, the position of the target plate 16 is adjusted by the limit switch 38c.

The blocking plate 40 is for passing only the bullets punched out of the target in the target plate and returning the bullets punched out elsewhere.
The blocking plate 40 is formed by attaching an iron plate 40a and a rubber 40b as shown in FIG. 3, and is provided behind the target plate 16 and has five holes 40c at positions corresponding to the five targets 16a. .
Since the rubber 42b is provided, the speed of the impacted bullet is absorbed, and the rebounded bullet does not punch through the target plate 16.

The collision switch fixing plate 44 is provided with the collision switch 42 as collision detection means for detecting a collision of a bullet.
Collision switches 42 at positions corresponding to the two targets 16a
Is fixed.

The positional relationship between the target 16a of the target plate 16, the hole 40c of the blocking plate 40, and the collision switch 42 attached to the collision switch fixing plate 44 is aligned as shown in FIG. 4, and the target 16a is punched. The bullet that has passed through the hole 40c without being blocked by the blocking plate 40 collides with the collision switch 42. Therefore, the collision switch 42 can detect whether the bullet hits the target.

Details of the collision switch 42 will be described with reference to FIGS. The impact switch 42 has two planar fiber electrodes 42a and 42b.
Are interposed via a spacer 42c. The planar fiber electrodes 42a and 42b are configured by attaching conductive fibers to a PET film. A circular rubber 42d is provided on the front surface of the planar fiber electrode 42b to prevent damage to the planar fiber electrode 42b. A circular hole corresponding to the rubber 42d is formed in the spacer 42c. When the bullet collides, the rubber 42d and the planar fiber electrode 42b are deformed, and a part of the planar fiber electrode 42b comes into contact with the planar fiber electrode 42a, whereby the collision of the bullet can be electrically detected.

The difficulty of the shooting game can be changed by changing the size of the hole 40c of the blocking plate 40 or the size of the hole of the spacer 42c of the collision switch 42.

Next, detection of a landing in the shooting game machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

The trigger switch 10c of the gun 10 detects whether or not the trigger 10b has been triggered by the player. The ON signal of the trigger switch 10c is output to the control means 60, and based on this ON signal, the control means 60 outputs the bullet firing means to the bullet supply device 48, and the bullet 46 is fired through the bullet firing means 10d. .

Whether the fired bullet 46 hits the target depends on the collision switch 42 on the collision switch fixing plate 44 and the collision switch 42
Is detected by the mounting determination means 50 connected to the.

Since the bullet 46 has a high speed, the time during which the collision switch 42 is turned on by impact is extremely short, and it is not possible to directly detect that the collision switch 42 is turned on. Therefore, the landing determination means 50 of the present embodiment counts the time during which the collision switch 42 is turned on, and when this count value reaches a set value, determines that the bullet 46 has collided with the collision switch 42.

Each of the collision switches 42 is connected to the input terminal of the AND gate 51. 4MHz to other input terminal of AND gate 51
A clock pulse from the clock oscillator 52 is input. As a result, a clock pulse of 4 MHz is output from the output terminal of the AND gate 51 while the collision switch 42 is on. The counter 53 counts this clock pulse. Therefore, the count value of the counter 53 indicates the time during which the collision switch 42 is on.
The count value of the counter 53 is compared with a set value preset in the setter 55 by the comparator 54, and the comparison result is output to the control means 60. The set value of the setter 55 is set to a time shorter than the time when the collision switch 42 is turned on when the bullet 46 collides, and longer than the time when the collision switch 42 is turned on due to vibration or the like.

The impact detection operation will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG.

When the trigger 10b is pulled, the trigger signal from the trigger switch 10c changes from H level to L level as shown in FIG. 7 (a). In synchronization with this fall, the control means 60 outputs a clear signal as shown in FIG. The count value of the counter 53 is set to 0 by this clear signal.
Is cleared. This is to clear before an impact is detected because there is a possibility that the collision switch 42 erroneously outputs an ON signal due to noise or the counter 53 counts noise erroneously. The control means 60 outputs a bullet firing signal as shown in FIG. 7 (c) in synchronization with the falling of the trigger signal. The bullet firing means 10 of the gun 10 is
d fires a bullet.

Since the time from when the bullet is fired until it reaches the target is constant, a gate signal as shown in FIG. 7 (d) is generated by the control means 60, and only when the gate signal is at the H level, The on time of the collision switch 42 is detected by 50, and even if the count value of the counter 53 reaches the set value during the L level, it is ignored. If the count value reaches a predetermined value while the gate signal is at the H level, it is determined that the landing has occurred. If the count value does not reach the predetermined value while the gate signal is at the H level, it is determined that the landing has not occurred.

The display device 36 is connected to the control means 60. The display screen displays an advertisement screen when a game is not played or a game screen during a game.

Next, the operation of the shooting game machine according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, while the game is not being played, the control device 60 controls the display device.
An advertisement screen as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on 36 (step 100). For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the target moves and the player shoots, a screen appears in which the target falls. Next, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), the record of the quick shooting actually performed by the shooting game machine is displayed. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9 (c), the contents of the shooting game (game time, number of bullets, conditions of the additional game) are displayed. Next, as shown in FIG. 9 (d), a screen for inviting a game to the player is displayed. These display screens shown in FIGS. 9 (a) to 9 (d) are repeatedly displayed, and wait for a player to insert a coin through the coin insertion slot 26 in order to play a game (step 10).

102), and waits for the start button 32 to be pressed (step 103). When the start button 32 is pressed, a game screen is displayed (Step 104). At the same time, the target mechanism 17 starts a predetermined left and right movement operation.

During the game, screens as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) to (d) are displayed. When the game starts, the screen shown in FIG. 7A is displayed, and the remaining time of the game is displayed at the top, the shooting state is displayed at the center, and the shooting result is displayed at the bottom. At first, "READY" is shown at the upper part of the center as shown in FIG. 7A, and waits for the player to start shooting with the gun 10. When the player fires a bullet by pulling the trigger 10a, the "FIRE" display shown in FIG.
Turn off one 18c. The bullet that was shot is the target 1 in the target plate 16
6a, hits the collision switch 42 and hits
When it is determined that a hit has been made by 50, "HIT" is displayed as shown in FIG. 9C, and the hit target is displayed alternately in red and black, for example. Also, the moment the bullet hits, the background color changes to notify the player that the target was hit. Further, the game display section 18 is flashed by a flash lamp, and the target mechanism 17 is tilted backward so that the player can obtain the same pleasure at the time of a hit as in actual shooting. When it is determined by the landing determination device 50 that the ball has deviated, "MISS" is displayed as shown in FIG. The above operation is repeated for 10 bullets. The number of remaining bullets can be known by the number of lights of the bullet display section 18c together with the screen of the display device 36.

When you have shot a predetermined number of bullets or the game time is over,
Display the game result screen on the display device 36 (step 10
Five). For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (e), the hit rate and each shooting content (HIT or MISS, shooting time) are displayed, and according to the hit rate, scoring, message, shooting rank as shown in FIG. In addition, a message for prompting the user to receive the target plate 16 is displayed. In this case, since all five targets have been hit, the scoring is 100 and a message corresponding to the shooting rank "EXPART" is displayed.

Next, it is determined whether all five targets have been hit as a result of the shooting (step 106). If there is at least one missed target, the process proceeds to step 109, where a game over screen is displayed on the display device 36, and the “GAME OVER” display section 18 is displayed.
Turn on b.

If all hits have been made, another game can be played, and the process proceeds to step 107, where the bonus game is performed in the same manner as the above-described operation. As in steps 104 and 105, the game screen is displayed on the display device 36 in step 107, and step 1 is executed.
08 displays the game result screen. In the case of this additional game, even if you hit all targets again, step 109
And the game over display is performed.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not there is a credit, that is, whether or not the number of remaining games is present (step 110). If the number of credits is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step 102 to execute the next game, and if there is no credit, the process proceeds to step 100 to display the advertisement screen. indicate.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to instantly know whether or not a hit has occurred, and to display this on the display device 36. In addition, the shooting result is grasped numerically based on the hit rate and the like, and this is displayed, and an additional game can be performed based on the shooting result, so that the playability can be improved.

Next, a configuration provided in the shooting game machine according to the present embodiment for preventing danger will be described with reference to FIG.

In order to prevent danger, it is desirable that a bullet can be fired only when the gun 10 is aimed at the target plate 16. For this reason, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
