Patent ID: 8371939

Claim:
A game system, comprising: a first display area and a second display area; a game image generation section which generates a broad-range game image representing a relatively broad range in a game map image and a narrow-range game image representing a relatively narrow range in substantially the same game map image; a display control section which displays the broad-range game image on the first display area and displays the narrow-range image on the second display area; a coordinate detection section which detects coordinates on at least the first display area; a manipulation detection section which detects either one or both of a moving amount and a designated moving direction of the coordinates from the coordinates; and an image control section which scrolls the broad-range game image within the game map image based on said either one or both of the moving amount and the designated moving direction detected on the first display area, wherein the game map image is larger than the broad-range game image, the image control section causing said displayed broad-range game image to scroll in said either one or both of the moving amount and the designated moving direction, through the game map image and thereby reveal different portions of the game map image, the image control section causing said narrow-range game image to scroll with said broad-range game image so that said narrow-range game image during scrolling comprises a portion of said broad-range game image.
