Abstract: At a game apparatus 1 which instructs a player the time to operate a play button 5p of each operation unit 4 by moving an operation indicator 102 toward an operation criterion line 101 on a monitor 3 having a display surface 3a facing upward, while the appearance position of the operation indicator 102 being varied, the moving speed of the operation indicator 102 is calculated based on the distance from the appearance position up to the position corresponding to each operation unit 4 on the operation criterion line 101, and the access time that it takes for the operation indicator 102 to reach the operation criterion line 101. Based on the moving speed, the game apparatus varies by degrees the display position of the operation indicator 102.

Abstract: A game system guides operation timing of the operating section through a monitor by displaying an operation instructing indicator corresponding to the respective operation timings and an operation reference indicator corresponding to the current time in temporal order along a predetermined path on the game, and producing a relative displacement, which is along the predetermined path and is according to the progression of the time on the game, between the operation reference indicator and the operation instructing indicator in order that the operation instructing indicator agrees with the operation reference indicator at the operation timing that should be indicated by the operation instructing indicator, and changes at least either one of a starting position and a reaching position of the predetermined path.
