Patent number: 7223174Abstract: A conventional game program involves the risk of the player losing interest in the game. A computer-readable program product which enables a beginner player to sufficiently enjoy interest in a game is provided. A character to be subjected to ring customization is selected. If a technical ring is selected as a ring type after the subject has been determined to be change of a ring type, an ally character makes attacks only when the player has performed operation input with a rotary bar situated in any of timing areas.
