A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable game program executed by a computer incorporating a near field radio communication function causes the computer to perform acts including reading, by establishing near field radio communication with an information storage medium, first data stored in that information storage medium, registering the read first data, reading, by establishing near field radio communication with an information storage medium after registration of the first data, second data stored in that information storage medium, and progressing game processing when the second data matches with the first data.

A main player operates a controller while viewing a monitor game image displayed on a monitor. A sub player operates a terminal device while viewing a terminal game image displayed on an LCD of the terminal device. A game image that is substantially identical to the monitor game image viewed by the main player is displayed on the LCD. By touching a touch panel provided on a screen of the LCD of the terminal device, the sub player can generate various events at a position in a game world corresponding to a touched position.

A setting change image is displayed on an LCD of a terminal device while an in-play user is playing a game while viewing a game image displayed on a monitor. A user different from the in-play user can change various settings of the game without hindering the progress of the game performed by the in-play user, by operating the terminal device while viewing the setting change image displayed on the LCD, such as increasing the number of participants in the game, and changing difficulty level of the game.

A non-limiting example game system includes a game apparatus to which a television functioning as a stationary-type display device is connected. The game apparatus performs game processing basically according to operation data from a controller. An input terminal device functioning as a portable-type display device is kept at a user's hand, for example. A course selecting screen is displayed on a screen of the television and an information presenting screen corresponding to the course selecting screen is displayed on a screen of the input terminal device. In the information presenting screen, a comment input by another user is displayed near a course mark, and a designating object which designates the presence of the comment is displayed at a corresponding position in the course selecting screen.

When there is an instruction for rotation during a game in a first field, a CPU core of a game apparatus obtains central coordinates in a second field after the rotation and coordinates (central coordinates) of a player object and BG object in steps Sand S. Then, the CPU core executes a rotation process in a hardware calculation circuit, for example, in steps Sto S. When detecting end of the rotation in a step S, the CPU core executes a map switch process in a step S. In the map switch process, the CPU core generates a second field according to second area data. Then, after generating the second field, the CPU core makes a hit determination according to the second area data in a step S, for example.

Reference point calculation means calculates a reference point with respect to a reference axis direction, the reference point being a center position based on positions of a plurality of objects and the reference axis direction being a predetermined axis direction of a display area. First determination means determines whether or not a position of the reference point is a position within a first distance from an end of the display area with respect to the reference axis direction. When the first determination means determines that the position of the reference point is within the first distance from the end of the display area, screen control means scrolls, along the reference axis direction, a display content of a virtual space displayed in the display area.
