Abstract: In a baseball game when a base that cannot be displayed on a field display image exists, an icon corresponding to the base is displayed on a straight line, within the field display image, linking a fielder character to the base.

Abstract: The technical level of a player can be reflected in the results of a game by evaluating the content of the game. In the present game program, when an event execution command for executing an event is issued from the control unit, an event process corresponding to the event execution command is executed by the control unit. When a command for a character during execution of the event is recognized by the control unit, the command for the character is executed by the control unit. The control unit then executes a process for using character evaluation data to evaluate the character that executed the action corresponding to the command. When the control unit executes the process for evaluating the content of the event on the basis of the character evaluation data, the control unit recognizes event content evaluation data that correspond to the evaluation of the event content.

Abstract: A server device communicates with terminal devices used by users and manages a baseball game. The server acquires messages which a first user has selected from a plurality of predetermined messages. The server then presents a corresponding message of the messages acquired to a second terminal device, which is operated by a second user, at corresponding times of predetermined times during a period when the users are playing the baseball game. The predetermined times include a game start time and a batting/fielding change time.

Abstract: A network game server performs exchange of data with a terminal device employed by a user through a network. Prediction data made by a user in respect to predicted content regarding some actual phenomenon that will occur in the future is received from the terminal device. The received prediction data is registered in association with the user. The phenomenon that actually occurs in regard to the prediction data is acquired as result data and, if the result data and the prediction data satisfy a predetermined condition, prescribed points are awarded to the user who created the prediction data in question and the user is provided with value data having a prescribed value in accordance with these points.
