Abstract:
1. A game apparatus for displaying game images, including at least a player object and a plurality of non-player objects to be held by the player object in a game space, wherein a non-player object may be held by at least one of the left hand or the right hand of a player object, comprising: an operating element having at least a first operating portion and a second operating portion to be operated by a player; first determining programmed logic circuitry which determines whether or not said non-player object is co-located with a right hand of said player object when said first operating portion is operated by said player; second determining programmed logic circuitry which determines whether or not said non-player object is co-located with a left hand of said player object when said second operating portion is operated by said player; right hand action processing programmed logic circuitry which acts such that said non-player object is held by said right hand of said player object when said first determining programmed logic circuitry determines that said non-player object and said right hand of said player object are co-located; left hand action processing programmed logic circuitry which acts such that said non-player object is held by said left hand of said player object when said second determining programmed logic circuitry determines that said non-player object and said left hand of said player object are co-located; hand deciding programmed logic circuitry which decides a hand that said player object holds said non-player object by at least one of said right hand action processing programmed logic circuitry and said left hand action processing programmed logic circuitry is the right hand or the left hand; and rotation processing programmed logic circuitry which rotates, when said hand deciding programmed logic circuitry decides that the hand that said player object holds said non-player object is the right hand or the left hand, said player object about the right hand or the left hand holding said non-player object in a direction that is set in correspondence to the right hand or the left hand.
