Claim:
1. A game system, associated with a display device, the game system comprising: a game apparatus having a game program storage device storing a game program, and including a character data storage memory, to generate a display of a first moving character and a second moving character each movable on a game space and a processing device for executing the game program to generate a display of an image based on the result of processing by the processing device, and a housing to be held by a player, which includes the display device in a unitary construction; wherein the processing device is configured to perform: position state detecting related to said housing for detecting at least one of an amount and a direction of a position setting applied to said housing, wherein said game program storage device stores game space data including image data to generate a display of a space for game play, and a display control program causes said display device to display a game space based on the game space data; said game program storage device includes a character control program to read out a first moving character and a second moving character stored in said character data storage memory and enable control related to said at least one of an amount and a direction of the position setting applied to said housing based on said position state detecting such that the first moving character and the second moving character move; wherein said processing device detects, as said at least one of amount and direction of position setting, at least one of an amount and a direction of a tilt applied to said housing, and said character control program simultaneously moves both the first and second moving characters within the displayed game space at respective moving speeds related to the at least one of an amount and a direction of a tilt applied to said housing so that the first and second moving characters each changes position relative to the displayed game space based on the at least one of an amount and a direction of tilt applied to the housing and each continues to change position relative to the displayed game space based on the at least one of an amount and a direction of tilt applied to the housing even if the tilt is maintained at a constant tilted state.
