Two-player game playing apparatus using wireless remote controllers
First Claim
1. A two-player game playing apparatus for playing a game program stored in a game pack using wireless remote controllers, the two-player game playing apparatus comprising:
- a first remote controller for transmitting without a wire a game key signal input by a first player in a specific frequency band;
a second remote controller for transmitting without a wire a game key signal input by a second player in a frequency band which is different from the frequency band of the game key signal transmitted from said first remote controller;
a first remote control signal receiver for receiving the game key signal transmitted from said first remote controller without a wire;
a second remote control signal receiver for receiving the game key signal transmitted from said second remote controller without a wire;
a decoder for reading out the respective players'"'"' game key signals output from said first and second remote control signal receivers;
a game processor for reading out and performing the game program from said game pack according to the respective players'"'"' game key signals output from said decoder; and
a video outputting apparatus for processing game video and audio signals output from said game processor and outputting the signals as an image and sound.

Abstract
A two-player game playing apparatus using wireless remote controllers includes a first remote controller, a second remote controller, a first remote control signal receiver for receiving a game key signal transmitted from the first remote controller, a second remote control signal receiver for receiving the game key signal transmitted from the second remote controller, a decoder, a game pack, a game processor, and a video outputting apparatus, thereby allowing two players to enjoy a game with wireless remote controllers. Further, a microcomputer is employed only in one of the two remote controllers, thereby reducing the production cost and simplifying the configuration.
