Abstract
A circuit race type game system is played by a plurality of players while running game racing cars on a circuit course. The circuit course includes a plurality of position indicating markers located thereon. The game racing cars run on the circuit while detecting the position indicating markers. A play field includes a host computer which receives a marker detection signal from each of the game racing cars to grasp the state of that game racing car running on the circuit course. Lap time for each lap and final lap time required by each of the game racing cars from the start to the goal are computed by the host computer as running time, these computed values being then displayed on a display panel with the ranking of that game racing car.
Claims9
A circuit race type game system comprising:
- a play field having a circuit course;
- a plurality of racing cars each adapted to travel over said circuit course;
- detecting means for detecting data of said racing cars at locations over said circuit course;
- computing and controlling means, installed in said play field, for receiving the data detected by said detecting means, for recognizing an actual travelling condition of at least one racing car based on the detected data, for computing a desired travelling condition of the at least one racing car, and for wirelessly transmitting the desired travelling condition to the at least one racing car;
- and
- onboard control means, located on each racing car, for controlling the actual travelling condition of said at least one racing car based on said desired travelling condition transmitted to said at least one racing car.
