The objective of this invention is to provide a game controller capable of using synchronizing signals to obtain accurate coordinates of an indicated position. Cables (22) and (24) transfer a video signal from a video output terminal of a main game machine unit and a control signal to a controller terminal. An HV separator (150) separates vertical and horizontal synchronizing signals from the video signal. Light from an aimed-at position is detected by a photosensor (154) provided within a gun (20), and a position computation section (162) obtains the coordinates of the aimed-at position, based on a detection pulse at that point and synchronizing signals from the HV separator (150). The cable (22) is connected to the cable (24) within a connector (36) so that a video signal and control signals are transferred by the cable (24). The video output terminal is connected to a video input terminal and a second game controller by using a connector (30) having male and female terminals (32) and (34). The HV separator (150) could be provided within the gun (20) or within the connector (36). |
