ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a transmission device incorporating a database holding numerous game data and a receiving device on which computer games can be played. The receiving device accepts numerous game data transmitted cyclically by the transmission device, selects and stores specified game data and is used to play the game. When the receiving device is used as a commercial game machine, it is fitted with a coin input unit. When a coin is input into the unit, key input is enabled and the game can then be played. If a game calls for more than one player, the host computer at the transmission device end controls the order of input of the terminal devices.
