A game system including a stationary game machine requiring an external
power supply, such as a coin-operable business-use game machine or a home
game machine, and a portable game machine having an internal power
supply. Game programs for raising game characters are installed in the
stationary and portable game machines. The stationary game machine has
more internal resources, and its programs support higher resolution video
game data. The portable game machine has a vibration sensor for receiving
input during play, resulting in the raising of the character. Each of
these game machines are provided with a radio data transfer means through
which a game result from a memory in one of the game machines can be
transferred to a memory in the other game machine. The game machine
receiving the game result can use that result in subsequent processing,
such as for a starting point in further play or for creating video data
that can be printed on a printer. The game machine receiving the result
can include a camera for generating images of a player and an image
synthesizing mechanism for combining player images with character images
so that the resulting synthesized image can be printed. Further game
results can be passed back to the portable game machine, or to another
game machine, for further game play.
