Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a method for performing a derivative scenario in a game program operated on a home television game machine, has the steps of generating the plurality of derivative scenarios in the process of real time proceeded by a timer means with which a main body or an external storage device of the home television game machine is provided, and performing the plurality of derivative scenarios such that each of the plurality of derivative scenarios circulatively changes every a time period.

Claim 2
Independent Claim
81 words
A method for performing a plurality of derivative scenarios in a game program operated on a home television game machine, comprising the steps of: generating said plurality of derivative scenarios in the process of real time proceeded by a timer means with which a main body or an external storage device of said home television game machine is provided; and performing said plurality of derivative scenarios such that each of said plurality of derivative scenarios circulatively changes every a time period.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method for performing a derivative scenario, according to claim 1, wherein: said time period is defined based on a period selected from the group consisting of a year, a month, an hour, a minute, a second and a day of the week.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method for performing a derivative scenario, according to claim 1, further comprising the step of: generating another derivative scenario with said plurality of derivative scenario; wherein said another derivative scenario is performed prior to said plurality of derivative scenario.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method for performing a derivative scenario, 1 4 according to claim 3, wherein: said another derivative scenario is generated on a specific date or time.
