A license managing apparatus comprises an inputting device, an encrypting device for encrypting information inputted from the inputting device to produce encrypted information, and an outputting device for outputting the encrypted information. The encrypting device encrypts at least identification information of the game apparatus to be licensed and license condition information thereof to produce the foregoing encrypted information. The game apparatus includes an inputting device for inputting the outputted encrypted information, an encryption decoding device for decoding the inputted encrypted information, and a controller for controlling execution of a game program. The game apparatus further includes a storing device for storing identification information of the game apparatus, and a storing device for storing internal information.

The present invention makes it possible to obtain operation signals to enable operation of a more complex game by individually detecting movement in at least two axial directions. The present invention provides a pair of right and left controllersandthat generate operation signals based on which game action is instructed, each controller having a main sectionin the shape of a glove in which the hand is inserted, and in which is mounted an acceleration sensorthat individually detects movement in three axial directions x, y and z (front/back, right/left, up/down). Each detection signal is deemed an operation signal for game action.

Match-style 3D video game device and controller therefor

A driving game machine provided with a road data memory for storing coordinate data of a road set in a game space, a player's car controller for controlling the running of a player's car on the road according to a player's operation, and a display processor for displaying an image within a field of view set in advance. The road has a start point and a goal point, a running course from the start point to the goal point has a plurality of branched roads in its intermediate positions. The player's car controller causes the player's car to run in a direction selected at each branching point in accordance with a player's operation. This makes it possible for a player to freely choose the course while competing with his rivals.
