Abstract

This invention is a combined system (Fig. 9) and methods for the system which comprise a video game system (42) that generates animated picture sequences (21, 25, 28) for display on a player's video display (11) and also transmits related digital data to a portable game system (46) by way of a data transmission link (45) that causes display of game images on an LCD device (13) in the portable game system (46). A human player (10) responds to visual images on the video display (11) and the LCD (13) by manipulating push buttons (14) and other control members on the portable game system (46) or other controller.
