ABSTRACT:
A race game machine in which a race is conducted by competingly moving a plurality of movable objects along a running path. The machine includes: a parameter storage device which stores at least one parameter used to control movements of the movable objects; a target position calculation device which calculates target positions of the respective movable objects at intervals of a predetermined period in accordance with the parameter stored in the parameter storage device; and a movement control device which controllably moves the movable objects toward their target positions calculated by the target position calculation device. The machine can have an increased number of race developments, thus remaining interesting over a long term.
