FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing an example in which the control devices for the first and second game devices are configured using microprocessors. The control device includes a CPU, its clock oscillator 80, a basic output timer 81, a program memory 82, a data memory 83, and several latch circuits 84, 85, 86, etc.
It has a scale generation circuit 87. In Figure 10,
In particular, a latch circuit 84 for the driver 72 of the fluorescent display panel 42 and a latch circuit 85 for the driver 73 of the first display element group 31 of the variable display 3
and a latch circuit 86 for SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4 and solenoid SOL-A. In addition, 74 is the touch circuit of SW3 and SW4,
Reference numeral 75 is a driver for the solenoid SOL-A, and reference numeral 76 is an amplifier circuit for receiving a signal from the scale generation circuit 87 and making the speaker sound. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the program. The CPU first initializes the system, then executes the SW according to the scanning program.
1. Checks the rising edge of SW2, SW3, and SW4 and whether or not SW is being executed, and allows interrupts during this time (FIG. 13a). On the other hand, the basic timer 81 for output
The timer interrupt (first
3b) occurs, and the CPU times out to a predetermined count value (timer time) regarding the service routine as shown in FIG. 13b,
If the status is such that it should be processed, the service routine is processed and interrupts are prohibited during that time. Next, the operation under computer control will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 14 to 17. From turning on the power to turning on SW1. In FIG. 14A, when the power is turned on, the CPU resets the solenoids 58 and 59, the lamp L1, the LED of the first display element group 31 of the first game device, the number of outs on the game challenge number display 44, etc. Enable interrupts (steps 0.1 , 0.2 ). Each switch SW1

Jump to the label HIT sequence to wait while the program executes.
0.4). When the program execution process is completed, normal processing is performed again and the process returns to reading the switch status (step 0.5 ). The normal processing mainly includes crime prevention processing and activation of the normal operation timer (status 1). At USLBLK in Figure 16E,
When the normal operation timer (500ms) is restarted for the second time, the outfielder movement table is taken out and a predetermined image is displayed on the fluorescent display panel, and the lamp L1
flash. Therefore, during the period from turning on the power to turning on SW1, the fluorescent display panel 42, which is the image display of the second game device, partially emits light, and the image of the baseball game is displayed on the game board 4, and the pitcher is turned on. 60, bases 61-64, batter 65, and fielders 66 and 67 appear. The outfielder 66 blinks between three positions, the fielder 67 blinks between two positions, and the lamp L1 also blinks. On the other hand, the second display element group 32 of the first game device
The three LEDs indicate the type of pitch thrown by the pitcher 60, and these three LEDs also move and blink. If any SW is turned on, the label SW
Jump to the sequence 1000, SW200, SW300, SW400 (step 0.3 ). The activated normal operation timer is stopped (status 0) at the jump destination sequence. Timer interrupt processing; Figure 15 Meanwhile, in parallel with this, a timer interrupt occurs every 2.5ms. In Figure 15, when a timer interrupt occurs,
As soon as the instruction being executed is completed, the CPU saves the register, resets the prescaler, and sets the TBC (timer control block) table to the first position (steps 10 to 30). TBC has a total of 5 blocks in memory,
Each block consists of 5 bytes. The first byte is the status, “1” is ready, “0”
represents the weight. The second byte is a counter that is incremented from 0 and cleared at the maximum, and the product of the count value and 2.5 ms (output basic timer 81) represents the time since the start of processing the TCB. The third byte is the relevant TCB
This is a timer for determining the timer time for processing the TCB, and returns the status of the TCB to "0" when the counter of the TCB reaches a predetermined value. The remaining two bytes represent the address of the service routine that handles the interrupt when the timer for the TCB times out. Next, in the sequence starting from step 40, the CPU checks the status of the TCB, determines whether the TCB is in use, and if it is not in use, updates it to the next TCB address,
Check the TCB status again (step 40~
60). In this way, by looking at all TCBs, the final TCB is
When this happens, the saved contents are restored, the next interrupt is enabled, and the program returns to the main program (steps 130 and 140). During this time, if a TCB in use is found, its block time counter is incremented by 1 and updated to the next TCB address (steps 70, 80, 120). Then, when the contents of the block timer counter reach the maximum, the corresponding TCB is
When the timeout occurs, clear the timer counter for the next interrupt, put the address (jump address) of the service routine of the TCB in question in the register, put the return address in the stacker, and then jump ( Steps 90, 100, 110). 16A to 16R show the jump destination service routine, which includes the following timer processing.

Activate the ROULETTE1 movement timer and sound output timer (TCB status to 1) and label
Return to SCAN (step 0.3). ROUL1; FIG. 16A The ROULETTE1 movement timer (50ms) jumps to ROUL1 in FIG. 16A every time it times out. ROUL1 rotates the LED of Roulette 1 once each time, and on the 8th time (0.4s),
Stop the ROULETTE1 movement timer (set the TCB status to 0). Next, Roulette 2
After starting the BALL movement timer and determining the ball speed, start the ROULETTE2 movement timer and

BALMOV takes out the ball moving screen table and
The movement of the ball is highlighted until it reaches the end mark on the table. ROUL2; FIG. 16B The ROULETTE2 movement timer is a timer for three types of ball speeds, 25ms, 30ms, and 35ms, and jumps to ROUL2 in FIG. 16B every time it times out. ROUL2 decrements the movement counter of roulette 2, which is set to 5, and causes the LED of roulette 2 to rotate once. When Roulette 2 spins 5 times and the counter reaches 0,
Stop the timer, start the stop LED (4 to 19) blinking timer, permit input of SW1, and return to the main routine. Therefore, in the variable display device 3 of the first game device, the LED of the first display element group 31 flashes and moves from left to right, and this is repeated five times. That is, the lighting position cycles up to five times (5 seconds) and stops at a certain position controlled by the computer. If the player presses the stop switch SW3 during this time, this circulation of lighting positions can be immediately stopped. If SW3 is turned ON, proceed from label SW300 of the main program to Fig. 14D.
The roulette 2 is temporarily stopped, and if there is a win, the roulette 2 is moved once and the roulette 2 is continued. LEDBLK; Figure 16 J The stop LED (4 to 19) flashing timer (100ms) activated in ROUL2 is LEDBLK in Figure 16 J.
make him jump. LEDBLK stopped first
Flashes the LED every 0.1 seconds. CPU stopped this
In order to determine whether or not there is a "hit" based on the LED, the subroutine JUDGE (Fig. 17) is called. Then, after 1.2 seconds after completing the "hit" determination process described below, the stop LED (4 to 19) blinking timer is stopped and the OUT-LED blinking timer is activated. This OUT−LED flashing timer (200ms) is
Jump to BLBLK shown in FIG. 16 O, and blink the lit LED indicating the number of outs determined through the "hit" determination process every 0.2 seconds. JUDGE; Figure 17 In Figure 17, the CPU is in the hit zone.
Regarding LEDs 12 to 19, the stopped LED is “hit”
(Step 16.1 ) Out (LED4~11,13,15,17,
19), SW1 is permitted and OUT is displayed first (step 16.2 ).
In the case of a normal out other than 3 outs, the LED of the out count display 44 is lit, the out sound starts, and the outfielder flashes (Step 16.3 ). In the case of 3 outs, a 3 out change process is performed, a 3 out sound is generated, and the stop LED (4 to 19) flashing timer is stopped (step 16.4 ). If "hit" (stopped on LEDs 12, 14, 16, 18), set the hit runner and reset the running or run status (step 16.5 ). Next, in the case of a hit other than a home run (stopped at LEDs 12, 14, and 16), a hit sound and a hit ball start blinking (step 16.6 ). “Home run” (stopped at LED18)
In this case, the home run status is set (step 16.6 ), and all LEDs 1 to 19 are blinked simultaneously (LED 1 to 19 ALL blink timer, LEDABK). The above description will be explained with reference to images of the fluorescent display panel as follows. When the roulette wheel 2 stops, the second display element group 3
The flashing movement of No. 2 and the flashing movement of the fielders 66 and 67 stop, and the fielders 66 and 67 wait at low positions (segments c and e), the pitcher 60 makes a throwing motion (segments c and b), and the ball moves. (segments f, i), and the butter 65 makes a swinging motion (segments h, g, k). The ball flies (from segments i and f of grid G2 to grid G3
segments h, f, c). During this flight process,
When flying to segment h of grid G3, fielder 66 moves to segment d, and when flying to segment h of grid G3, fielder 66 moves to segment e and fielder 67 moves to segment d. At this point, the CPU determines whether it is an out, a hit, or a home run. That is, the first game device
If it lights up and stops at any one of A, 30B, 30C, or 30D, it is treated as "1st base,""2ndbase,""3rdbase," or "home run," and if it stops at any other position, it is treated as "out." When it is out, the fielder 67 is made to stand still at the position of segment d and the state in which he is grasping the ball (segment c) is displayed. In the case of a "1 base" hit, the fielder 67 is held still at the position of segment d and the ball (segment c) is not displayed. If it is a “2nd base” or “3rd base” hit, move fielder 67 to position b,
Do not display the sphere (segment c). Especially when the hit is a "home run", a fielder 67 is moved to position b, the ball (segment c) is not displayed, and segment g of grid G3 is displayed to notify the player of the "home run" in a large manner. In addition, in the case of a "home run", all the LEDs of the variable display 3 of the first game device blink. When these hits occur, segment a of grid G1 displays this to the player. Also,
The second display element group 32 allows the first display element group 31 to
The current blinking speed of movement, ie, the type of ball thrown by 60 on the second game device, is displayed. Therefore, the next time the player predicts the type of pitch that 60 will throw, and predicts the lighting stop position of the variable display device 3 based on the predicted speed, the player presses SW3 and selects the weighted ball. It can be stopped at a certain position, for example, a "home run". Scoring behavior. In the case of “human”, first
Set the hit runner in 16.4) as follows. That is, the 3rd, 2nd, 1st, and 0th bits of the register (lower 4 bits of 1 byte) are weighted as home base, 1 base, 2 base, and 3 base, and each time there is a hit, the Set the 3rd bit (home base) to “1”. and,
Depending on whether it is a “1 base”, “2 base”, “3 base” or “home run”, the counter value is set to 1, 2, 3, or
Set to 4, the runner's one movement time (1.2 seconds)
Each time , decrements this counter and shifts the register to the right once. If this shift is stopped when the counter reaches 0, the contents of the register will just represent the relationship between the runner and each base. Also, if there is a return from the register, the return indicates that the runner has homed in. For example, if a "1 base" hit is followed by a "3 base" hit, the result will be as follows. “1st base” hit Register 1000 Counter 1 Runner moves to 1st base Register 0100 Counter 0 “3rd base” hit Register 1100 Counter 3 Runner moves to 1st and 2nd base Register 0110 Counter 2 Runner moves to 2nd and 3rd base Register 0011 Counter 1 Runner Move to 3rd and 4th bases Register 0001 Counter 0 Carry (home in)...1 If there is a status in which a certain command is being executed, jump to the label HIT sequence (Fig. 14 F). The CPU first checks to see if it is running.
During a run (for example, during home run processing or when the runner is moving as described above), return without doing anything. However, when the runner is not in the running state (for example, when the runner has completed one movement and the runner's counter is not yet 0), the runner movement sound and runner movement timer are activated and the flashing of the base is stopped. Return to SCAN. If it is a home run, that processing is performed and the process returns to SCAN. RUNMOV; Figure 16G The runner movement timer is as shown in Figure 16G.
Make RUNMOV jump. RUNMOV is
Display the runner movement screen until 1.2 seconds have passed,
When the runner movement time of 1.2 seconds has elapsed, the runner movement timer is stopped, the BASE flashing timer is started, and the base where the runner is located is flashed by BASBLK in FIG. 16I. Then, the runner movement counter is decremented, and if there is a shift, the home-in process is performed. In this way, “1 base”, “2 base”, “3 base”
Depending on whether the base is a home run or a home run, the runners 68 to 71 advance to the bases, and the image of the runner is displayed and the corresponding bases 61 to 64 flash.In the case of a home run, the second game All the runners on the bases of the device and the runner who hit the home run return to the home base and score points.From the time the runner hits home base, segments c, d, e of grid G1, grid G

The movable wings 51 and 52 of the variable winning device 4 are switched from the closed position to the open position, and the winning rate is greatly improved. While this solenoid is operating, the ball catcher 50
