Abstract:
1. A game apparatus in which an action game is played by displaying a game image including a player character and other objects, comprising: a first display portion for displaying said game image; a second display portion for displaying a captured image obtained by capturing at least said game image, and being different from said first display portion; a touch panel mounted in relation to said second display portion for detecting operation information; a first image storing memory for temporarily storing first image data corresponding to said game image; a second image storing memory for temporarily storing second image data corresponding to said captured image; an operation position detector which detects a touch operation position based on the operation information detected by a touch operation of said touch panel; an operating mechanism for inputting a button operation and a direction instructing operation by a player; a game processor which processes said action game according to an operation by said operating mechanism; a player character display mechanism which displays said player character on said first display portion according to an operation by said operating mechanism; an object data storing memory for storing object data including at least kind data and display position data as to said object; an object displaying mechanism for displaying said object on said first display portion in correspondence with progress of said action game by said game processor; an image capturing mechanism for copying and storing in said second image storing memory according to said operating mechanism the first image data stored in said first image storing memory as second image data; and an operation position determining mechanism for, after the first image data stored in said first image storing memory is copied and stored as the second image data in said second image storing memory, determining whether or not the touch operation position detected by said operation position detecting mechanism is within a display area of an object to be displayed on the second display portion based on the object data stored by said object data storing memory, wherein said object displaying mechanism controls display of said object on said first display portion based on a determination result of said operation position determining mechanism.
