ABSTRACT:
A communication adapter which is used with a plurality of game sets for transmitting and receiving data related to the game states of the game sets. Each game set including a serial interface and a buffer memory for temporarily storing transmit/receive data. The adapter including: a housing; a connection terminal for each game set; data input, data output and clock output ports, a clock signal generator, format converter and transmit/receive storage means. The clock signal generating means applies the same clock signal used for data communication with the game sets to each clock output port so that data to be transmitted to each game set and data received from each game set is synchronized with the clock signal whereby reliable communication is obtained with two or more game sets without the use of modems.
