Abstract

A game system is disclosed. The game system includes a computer, a display device and an operation device. The computer is configured to run a game, the display device is configured to display a game image, and the operation device is configured to input an operation command into the computer. A vibrator is provided in the display device and/or the operation device. The computer is further configured to send a vibration signal to the display device and/or the operation device according to game information, so as to drive the vibrator to generate vibration. According to the above game system, the display device and the operation device such as mouse or keyboard may generate vibration by means of the vibrator, according to game information, present vibration sensing and tactile for a player, thereby enabling the player to be more personally on the scene in the game.
