Abstract: A game machine on which a user allows a plurality of player characters of an operation subject team to perform linkage play. A linkage partner selecting unit selects a linkage partner player character from among fellow player characters. A type of linkage play selecting unit selects a type of linkage play. A linkage partner control unit controls the position of a linkage partner player character based on a selected type of linkage play. If a linkage partner player character is not selected, a pass execution unit makes an operation subject player character execute a pass in a direction based on the content of a pass instruction operation according to the pass instruction by the user. If a linkage partner player character is selected, the pass execution unit makes the operation subject player character execute a pass to a linkage partner player character based on the user's pass instruction operation.

Abstract: There is provided a terminal device or the like which can prevent a user from fall in trouble with an unknown third person when the user executes a network game or the like over a computer communication network. As terminal devices establish a connection in an ad-hoc mode, individual unique identification information thereof are exchanged and a communication for a game is carried out, the terminal devices saves the unique identification information of the communication counterparty. When the terminal devices establish a connection in an infrastructure mode, introduction requests each specifying the saved unique identification information are transmitted to a server device, the server device transmits introduction responses each informing an address of the terminal device to the terminal devices which have transmitted an introduction request specifying the unique identification information of the communication counterparty, and the terminal devices carry out a communication for the game.

Abstract: A terminal management unit (202) manages characters or the like in a virtual space operated from a terminal. An event generation unit (203) causes game device to generate a verification event for verifying a player's manual operation based on the progress state of a game on the game device. A judgment unit (204) judges whether the manual operation is performed or not based on operation information on the terminal during the verification event. A game situation update unit (205) properly updates a game situation on the terminal based on the judgment result from the judgment unit (204).

Abstract: The supervising part supervises information on fish objects in a virtual space. The control part moves, for example, a fish object on the hook. The display displays a position of a moving fish as a fish shadow. The calculation part calculates a catching area defined based on the position of the fish shadow and, the catching area being changed in shape and/or size according to a parameter of the fish object. The detection part detects indication operation indicating a position on the screen. The modification part increases/decreases the parameter of the fish object on the hook based on the positional relationship between the position of the indication operation and the calculated catching area while the indication operation is detected.

Abstract: A memory is capable of recording multiple pieces of game information. A transitioner stores in-play game information in the memory and transitions to a suspended state when, for example, a detector detects that a top case of a game apparatus has been closed. A receiver receives a prescribed operation (for example, pressing of a side switch and/or the like) input along with a command (for example, the top case of the game apparatus being opened) to return from the suspended state. A selector selects game information recorded in the memory based on the contents of the received prescribed operation. And a restarter reads the selected game information from the memory and restarts the game after returning from the suspended state.

Abstract: A game machine is communicatively connected to a game server and display-outputs a game screen showing a content corresponding to the player's operation by exchanging data with the game server. The response time to the operation is stabilized, and consequently the player does not feel stress due to a variation of the response time to the operation. A reference time storage unit (38) stores a reference time from the player's operation to the display-output of the game screen showing contents corresponding to the player's operation. A waiting unit (32) awaits the display-output of the game screen showing a content corresponding to the player's operation according to the stored reference time.

Abstract: A network game system is provided in which unfairness between players playing on first and second game machines can be corrected in a network game system in which the first game machine displays a game screen of a content corresponding to an operation executed in the first game machine and makes the second game machine display a game screen of a content corresponding to an operation executed in the second game machine by exchanging data with the second game machine through a communication network. A controlling unit (an operation information acquiring unit (34) and a display controller (36)) controls a length of a time period from a time when an operation is executed in the first game machine (game machine (12a)) to a time when a game screen of a content corresponding to the operation is displayed in the first game machine, based on data exchange time information related to a time period required for exchange of data between the first game machine and the second game machine (game machine (12b)).
