Abstract: A display control unit of a game device causes a display unit to display a virtual space image showing how a virtual space is viewed from a virtual viewpoint, and causes the display unit to display a first sighting image indicating a sighting of a first ejector and a second sighting image indicating a sighting of a second ejector on the virtual space image in a superimposed manner. A sighting control unit controls a display position of the first sighting image and a display position of the second sighting image so that an overlapping region of part of the first sighting image and part of the second sighting image includes a center point of the virtual space image.

Abstract: A user terminal can receive game arcade information corresponding to the user of the user terminal from a server as a game arcade information acknowledgement. The user can select therefrom to specify a game arcade where a game machine in which a game element is made to appear is installed. The server stores addition information in association with selected game arcade information. When the server receives, from a game machine, a check request asking whether addition information is provided, the server determines whether the game machine is a game machine installed at the selected game arcade. When the game machine is a game machine installed at the selected game arcade, the server sends back a check acknowledgement to the game machine.

Abstract: A game device acquires gazing position information relating to a position where a game player is gazing at a game screen, and a first determination unit determines whether or not the game player is aware of a game character based on the gazing position information and a position of the game character. A second determination unit determines whether or not the game character is aware of a virtual viewpoint or an operation subject of the game player based on the position and a sight line of the game character and a position of the virtual viewpoint or the operation subject of the game player. An action control unit causes the game character to perform an action corresponding to the gazing position information or a predetermined action based on determination results obtained by the first determination unit and the second determination unit.

Abstract: The game apparatus (1) has a fixed main unit (100) and a movable operating device (8) that is held by a player and is capable of detecting the body motion of the player and of transmitting a signal to, receiving from, the main unit (100). The operating device (8) has an acceleration sensor (86) for detecting acceleration, a light source (85), and a transmitter (87) for transmitting a value detected by the acceleration sensor (86) to the main unit (100). The main unit (100) has light receiving units (9L,9R) that receive the light emitted from the light source (85) to detect the intensity of the received light, a RAM (14), and a processor (16).
