A main-game execution section executes a main game; while the main game is executed, an inhibited-act detection section detects a manipulation by a user being a preset inhibited act; and if the inhibited act is detected by the inhibited-act detection section, a suppression-information presentation section displays, in a display section, a suppression picture which prompts the user to suppress the inhibited act.

Abstract: A light pulse generator is connected with one end of an optical fiber which selectively emits light pulses of a plurality of wavelengths to the optical fiber. A photodetector outputs a signal corresponding to the strength of the light reflected from the optical fiber. A storage unit stores the signal output from the photodetector for each wavelength. A processor determines the position and characteristic of an event based on the waveform data for each wavelength stored in the storage device. A display device has first and second display areas. A display controller allows the first display area to display the waveform data for each wavelength stored in the storage unit in a discriminable manner, and allows the second display area to display a list of positions and characteristics of events for each wavelength determined by the processor.
