ABSTRACT:
A videogame system is provided in which the audiovisual presentation is designed to simulate the episodic nature of a comic book page. The presentation is defined by distinct panels sequentially arranged to form a page layout, the panel limits player-controlled character play to an active panel in which the character must achieve predetermined tasks before he is allowed to move forward in the sequential arrangement of panels to create the story. A dialogue system is also provided for simulating speech balloons to convey emotion, effects and assist in the story-telling nature of the game. Graphical effects are provided to enhance the comic book medium simulation such as torn paper and a cartoonist's hand. In order to provide variety, there may be alternate routes through the panel sequences.
