A walking toy in which if a torso is moved forward walking motion is performed has the torso, two legs. The walking toy includes a crank member having a pair of crank eccentric shafts. Each of the legs has a motion member giving rotational force to the crank member when the torso moves forward. Each of the motion members has an eccentric shaft connecting part pivotably connected to the corresponding crank eccentric shaft, a torso cooperation part, and an action part on which force received from the walking surface act. Projections are formed at the torso cooperation part, while grooves are formed at the torso. If the action part of the one leg moves rearward, the motion member moves to thereby impart rotational force to the crank member and, the other leg is moved forward due to rotation of the crank member, and then contacts the walking surface.

Walking toy

A game apparatus () includes an LCD () and an LCD (), for example, and the LCD () is provided with a touch panel (). On the LCD (), a first game image is displayed, and on the LCD (), a second game image is displayed. It is determined whether or not the first game image becomes an object to be operated on the basis of coordinates data detected in response to an operation of the touch panel () by a player, input data obtained from an operating switch (), a microphone (), or the like. When it is determined that the first game image becomes an object to be operated, the first game image and the second game image are switched and displayed, for example. Then, when it is determined that the first game image displayed on the LCD () does not become an object to be operated, the first game image is displayed on the LCD ().

A video game apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU allows a game to proceed according to input data transmitted from a controller performed a swing operation by a player. When a ball hit by a player character according to a swing operation performed by the player collides with a target object, a collision location thereof is detected. For example, a normal target image and several different types of broken target images are prepared and one of the broken target images is selected according to the collision location. In addition, a determinant is calculated for placing the broken target image in a virtual three-dimensional space such that a direction oriented toward the collision location from a center of a target object matches a reference direction of the broken target image. Then, the broken target image is placed and thereafter display is provided in such a manner that the target object is breaking.
