Regardez un extrait de ce brevet de 1998.
"The video game machine (10) includes a CPU (11) and an RCP (Reality Co-Processor; 12) to process player object image data, influencing object image data, and other image data that are generated from a memory medium, e.g. an external ROM, so that these CPU and RCP constitute an output control means. The memory medium, such as an external ROM (21), stores player object image data and influencing object image data so that these image data can be read out of the memory medium and stored in an internal memory, e.g. a RAM. The RCP processes these image data to combine the player object and the influencing object image, for display on the display device. The message data is also read out of the ROM and stored in the RAM. The message data is read to the RAM, and displayed together with the image data on the display device by the RCP. Therefore, it is satisfactory for the player to manipulate the controller in compliance with a message displayed.
According to this invention, a video system and video-game memory medium is provided that can enhance a feeling of realism in a video game, fulfill a player´s feeling of achievement, and enhance a player´s interest in the video game.
Also, according to this invention, since how to manipulate information is displayed as a message, the player can easily advance to more advanced scenes even in a game requiring complicated operations. Further, an appropriate way of operating is output at proper timing in conformity to a surrounding environment (e.g. location, obstacle kind, enemy object kind, etc.) where a player object being operated by the player is standing or a situation where the player object resides. Accordingly, even if a game requires complicated or difficult operations, the player can easily advance to a forward scene, thereby enhancing game amusement and fulfilling a player´s satisfaction or feeling achievement. "
Il est clairement mentionné le terme RCP(Reality co Processor) C´est quand même étrange comme terme!!??
