Image reproduction device and method of image reproduction, together with information storage medium

The invention provides a game system, a game machine, a game data distribution machine, a network system and an information storage medium whose clocks can be synchronized. The game system comprises a game data distribution machine having a master function and including a clock selection section for generating indication data for obtaining clock information and a transmitting/receiving section for transmitting the generated indication data and a game machine having a slave function and including a transmitting/receiving section for receiving the indication data sent from the game data distribution machine and a clock selection section for adjusting the clock speed of own machine so as to synchronize the clock of own machine with the clock of the game data distribution machine based on the received indication data.

Game system, game machine, game data distribution machine, network system and information storage medium

Game system, game machine, game data distribution machine, image data distribution system, and computer-usable information

A game system, a game data distribution machine, a game machine, and computer-usable information that make it possible to increase the efficiency of the compression and transfer of images that are otherwise difficult to compress efficiently. Distribution data that comprises image identification data,for determining whether or not an image is a special image is transmitted from a game data distribution machine,and, if the distribution data indicates that this is a request for the display of a special image, special image data,that has been stored previously in a storage section,is read out, and the special image that is provided instead of a real-time game image is displayed by an image display section
