Abstract: A billiard game machine is used for playing a billiard game. A player operates a dummy cue (19) to thrust a cue ball object displayed on the screen (9a) of a display (9) disposed at a position corresponding to a back part of a dummy billiard table (7) so that the cue ball object rolls on a table object displayed on the screen (9a) of the display (9) and hits against an object ball object. A dummy bridge (11) for supporting the dummy cue (19) so that the dummy cue (19) is able to move for longitudinal back and forth movement in a predetermined range is disposed on the dummy billiard table (7). The billiard game machine enhances the verisimilitude of the billiard game.

Abstract: The invention provides an image processing unit for a shooting game in which suitable images can be displayed according to a given situation, and in which more exciting and easy-to-manipulate images are displayed. Coordinate values for objects in three-dimensional virtual space are established on the basis of prerecorded object shape data, view point positions are established on the basis of distances x1 and x2 from predetermined objects defined in three-dimensional virtual space (for example, the positions are lower when the distance is shorter, and higher when the distance is longer), the coordinate values established as described above are received, and the coordinate values are converted to a visual field coordinate system as seen from the view points established in the manner described above.

Abstract: A game player is subjected to audiovisual synergetic effects so as to increase the sense of realism by ensuring that a condition displayed in images and a condition outputted for audio match in game apparatus configured so that the positions of a seat and audio output means with respect to screens installed within an enclosure change in a relative manner.

Abstract: An image processing unit includes a shape memory in which object shape data are prerecorded, a processing component which establishes coordinate values for objects in a three-dimensional virtual space based on the shape data in the shape memory, a conversion component which receives the coordinate values from the processing component and converts the coordinate values to a visual field coordinate system based on a prescribed view point, a view point establishment component which establishes a position of the view point based on the situation between an object in the three-dimensional virtual space serving as a predetermined reference and being virtually defined in the three-dimensional virtual space without any input by a user, and which sends the position to the conversion component, and an imaging component which adds a predetermined texture to a shape data of the visual field coordinate system converted by the conversion component.
