    Patent number: 9833712
    Abstract: A game system includes a game processing section that performs a process that implements a game, a data link processing section that determines that a data link activation condition has been satisfied when a data link start positional relationship has been established between a moving object and another moving object, and performs a process that produces a data link effect that changes at least one of the radar-related capability of the moving object and the performance of the moving object, and a display processing section that performs a display process that displays a display object that notifies a player of information about a data link. The data link processing section performs a process that prohibits production of the data link effect during at least one of a given first period after the game has started, and a given second period after production of the data link effect has been canceled.
