Publication number: 20080293487Abstract: To provide a game device capable of increasing the unpredictability of a change given to an image displayed on a game screen and suitably expressing how the image returns to an original state. The present invention relates to the game device for displaying an image including a plurality of element images on the game screen. Each time a predetermined display restriction condition is satisfied, at least one of the element images displayed on the game screen is selected based on a random number and display of the selected element image is restricted. Moreover, sequence information indicating the order of the restriction of the display of the element image is stored by correlating it to the element image whose display is limited. The display restriction of the element image is reset based on the sequence information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2005Publication date: November 27, 2008Applicant: KONAMI DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Shinsaku Inukai
