Abstract

When any of push-button switches on a controller 40 is pressed in a sound input mode, a video game machine body 10 generates and temporarily stores frequency data of a tone corresponding to the pressed switch. At this time, when a joystick 45 on the controller 40 is tilted to a predetermined direction, the video game machine body 10 changes the generated frequency data according to the amount of tilt of the joystick 45 . It is therefore possible to input various sounds in tone using a limited number of switches . The frequency data stored in the video game machine body 10 is read later to be converted into audio signals, and outputted from a speaker incorporated in a CRT
display 30. When a melody based on the inputted sound coincides with a melody set in advance, the video game machine body 10 makes various changes in the progress of the game. For example , a hero character is warped to a position that is different from the present position, or provided with various items.
