Definitions
- This invention relates to apparatus for playing a game.
- the invention is particularly concerned with apparatus for playing a game of the type having control means (e.g. a joystick) manipulable by a player to provide control signal, and display means (e.g. a dedicated computer and video display unit) for presenting a player with video pictures simulating real or imaginary situations in which a player representative unit is controlled by the control signals, the player representative unit having the opportunity to perform simulated tasks.
- control means e.g. a joystick
- display means e.g. a dedicated computer and video display unit
- such an apparatus is arranged to present one or more advertising sequences of video pictures advertising goods or services other than to play the game.
- a said sequence is presented on completion of a task, or the gain or loss of a point in a scoring system in the game or the completion of a set time.
- the tasks are performed in the face of a plurality of simulated obstacles and in which the player representative unit has one or more lives liable to loss in overcoming the obstacles, the sequence being presented when the player representative unit looses a life.
- UB to the game. For example, having lost a life, the player may be encouraged to rebuild her or his strength with so and so product.
- a sequence is presented as a part of the environment in which the player representative unit performs the simulated tasks, for example, the sequence may present a simulation of an advertising hoarding.
- the video data relating to one or more adverts may be contained in one ore more removable data store units.
- the or each removable data store unit includes a read only replaceable memory unit in which data for the one or more advertising sequences are stored.
- a memory unit containing an advert can thus simply be plugged into the machine for a period for which payment has been made and removed thereafter.
- the or each removable data store may include data for preventing its operation more than a predetermined number of times or after a predetermined date or time, so that removal can be at the convenience of the owner of the apparatus.
- the apparatus may be arranged to present advertising sequence or sequences when the game is not being played.
- the apparatus has a video display unit 2 to which video signals are supplied by a central processing unit (CPU) 4.
- CPU central processing unit
- a program which determines operation of the CPU is stored in a program store 6 which may be read only memory or a disc or tape store in which latter case the CPU includes memory into which the program is loaded for operation.
- a key board, key pad or in this case a joystick 8 is provided. This is manipulated by the player to provide control signals to the CPU.
- the CPU provides video signals to the VDU to present a player with moving video pictures simulating real or imaginary situations in which a player representative unit is controlled by the control signals.
- the player representative unit may be the figure of a real or imaginary character in the game, for example.
- the player representative unit has as an objective to perform simulated tasks.
- a task might be to rescue another character, or find some object.
- the obstacles might be other offensive characters who attack the player representative unit which has one or more lives liable to loss in overcoming the obstacles.
- the present invention now proposes to display a video advertisement.
- a separate video store 10 is provided containing data which when addressed by the CPU is arranged to present one or more advertising sequences of video pictures advertising goods or services.
- the advertisements may with advantage relate in some way to the game. For example, having lost a life, the player may be encouraged to rebuild her or his strength with so and so product, "never mind have a Coke and try again".
- the game may be a race, e.g. a motor race, the task being to win; a team game e.g. soccer, the task again being to win; flight simulation, the task being to fly safely from one point to another or to complete a circuit of an airfield, and so on.
- the advertising sequence may be presented on completion of a task, e.g. having won the race or game of soccer, or having completed a successful flying mission.
- the sequence may be presented on gaining or loosing a point in a scoring system in the game, e.g. scoring a goal in a game of soccer.
- the video image presented to the player may contain advertisements as a part of the environment in which the player representative unit performs. For example, as in real life, an advertising hoarding may be presented by a
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET simulated road In a game performed in an arena, e.g. soccer, the perimeter of the arena may present advertisements.
- the video store preferably includes a read only memory and is removable as a unit so that adverts may be paid for and displayed for a period, then removed or replaced.
- Each read only memory unit may contain one or more adverts.
- the video store may also be a disc store in which case the CPU preferably includes memory into which the video data is loaded during operation.
- the video store may include data which prevents the or an advert from being presented in accordance with some predetermined criterion such as the date or the number of times the advert has been presented.
- the CPU is responsive to that data, but in the case of a read only memory, that could alternatively be provided on a board with circuitry responsive to the data.
- the video store also contains a program to which control of the CPU is handed when a life has been lost.
- the advert or adverts then run under control of their own program and control is handed back to the main game program when the advert program has run. That provides greater flexibility since the video data does not need a particular format to suit the particular game program.
- the games apparatus It is usual for the games apparatus to display a title or introductory sequence when no one is playing the game.
- the present apparatus is also arranged to present the
- the advertising sequence or sequences may be down loaded from a central computer, thus being replaceable by under control of a manager.
- the central computer may be remote, controlling a plurality of games apparatus by connections via telephone lines or other transmission media.
