  • Patent number: 6852033
    Abstract: A game device includes a photographing unit, which photographs a user when the user uses a game provided by the game device, and a printer. A commemorative image is generated at a timing (e.g., each time a stage in the game is cleared or when the game is terminated) set on a setting screen, by making a composite of an image representing either user achievements or a game screen with an image of the user photographed by the photographing unit. The commemorative image is then displayed on a LCD of the game device. The commemorative image can be printed by the printer to make a commemorative image card when the user instructs the printer to print.
