Abstract: To provide a game program capable of achieving high amusement. A game program causes an object to execute a first action by a player's operation, and changes a first parameter with the passage of time; and causes the object to execute a second action by the player's operation in a case where the first parameter satisfies a predetermined first condition.

Abstract: A video game processing apparatus for controlling progress of a video game is provided. The video game includes a battle against an enemy character. A basic character that becomes a basis for the enemy character is determined when the battle is started. Additional data on items are determined. The items are allowed to set up to the determined basic character. The items include at least one of an equipping ability, an equipped item, and an equipped accessory in addition to a strength level on the battle and a level on the video game. The enemy character is then generated by setting up the determined additional data to the determined basic character. Basic character data in which the basic character to become the basis for the enemy character is associated with the items of the additional data are stored in a basic data memory.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording and reproducing a video signal which enables the provision of a VTR which is reduced in noise, lowered in power consumption, and can be used at a high magnetic permeability, wherein the diameter of the rotary drum and the wrap angle of the magnetic tape on the rotary drum are left unchanged, but the rotational speed of the rotary drum is halved and the number of magnetic heads disposed at the rotary drum are doubled and recording is performed by time expansion by a factor of k of the recording data rate of the video signal. Since the rotational speed of the rotary drum is halved, the noise is reduced and the power consumed by the motor and the rest of the drive system for driving the rotation of the rotary drum is lowered. In addition, the recording data rate is lowered, so use may be made of magnetic heads with high magnetic permeability characteristics.
