ABSTRACT:
A video game controller for allowing a local player to play a video game against a remote player who is located, for example, in a different home than the local player. The controller receives a plurality of image control commands from a local input device operated by the local player. The controller includes a modem which transmits the local image control commands to a remote game controller connected to a transmission line. The modem also receives from the remote game controller a plurality of remote image control commands. The video game controller then generates a sequence of game image frames in response to the local and remote image control commands. The video controller generates the sequence of local image frames in synchronism with an identical sequence of remote image frames. The video controller determines a current status F of the sequence of local image frames. It receives a local image control command S.sub.L (F) representative of a user's instruction for changing the current status F of the image frame sequence. It then transmits the local control command S.sub.L (F) to a remote controller. The video controller receives from the remote video controller a remote image control command S.sub.r (F). It then generates in response to the local and remote image control commands, a new image frame.
