Abstract: A final result determining section determines a final result of a related match which is carried out in parallel with at least a part of a main match in which a target instructed by a game player participates. A main match performing section carries out the main match. An interim result output control section causes an output section to output an interim result of the related match in a case where the main match is being carried out. An interim result determining section determines the interim result of the related match to be output in the case where the main match is being carried out, based on an interim result of the main match and the final result of the related match.

Abstract: To provide a game machine capable of reducing a sense of discomfort which the user feels due to unmatched image display timing and image-related sound output timing. An image reproduction unit (highlight scene image reproduction control unit (72)) reproduces an image. An image-related sound reproduction unit (comment sound reproduction control unit (78)) reproduces an image-related sound corresponding to the image. A reproduction state determination unit (76) determines whether or not the reproduction state of the image and that of the image-related sound corresponding to the image satisfy a predetermined condition. Based on a result of a determination by the reproduction state determination unit (76), a reproduction state describing sound reproduction control unit (80) reproduces a reproduction state describing sound which describes the reproduction state of the image and/or image-related sound.

Abstract: To provide a game device capable of resuming outputting of speech-line data which has been suspended, while reducing an uncomfortable feeling experienced by a user. Second output control means (52b) suspends, in a case where a first game event has occurred during outputting of first speech-line data, the outputting of the first speech-line data, and outputs second speech-line data. Determination means (52c) determines whether or not a combination of the first speech-line data and the first game event or a second game event satisfies a predetermined combination condition, the second game event occurring while the outputting of the first speech-line data is suspended. Resumption control means (52d) resumes the outputting of the first speech-line data based on a result of determination by the determination means.

Abstract: To provide a game device which enables improvement in reality regarding outputting of speech relatively simply, a speech storage section (46) stores speech data, and further the speech storage section (46) stores reference speech data of the speech data in association with the speech data. An output control section (52) stores information indicating already-output speech data in an already-output speech storage section (48). Further, the output control section (52) controls the outputting of the speech data based on a judgment result as to whether or not the reference speech data of the speech data has already been output.

Abstract: To provide a game device capable of enhancing excitement in relation to sound output corresponding to an action taken by a game character. An event history data recording unit (70b) records action history data about history of actions taken by one or more game characters during at least a given evaluation target period in a game. An evaluation value calculating unit (76a) calculates evaluation values of the respective actions sequentially taken by the one or more game characters during the evaluation target period, based on the action history data recorded by the action history data recording unit (70b). In particular, the evaluation value calculation unit (76a) calculates an evaluation value of at least one action, based on an action taken after that action has been taken.
