Abstract
A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a display device, and a game screen is displayed on the display device. A play image including a player character, an enemy character, a ground object, a block object and a clay pipe object, for example is displayed as a game screen. If a capture instruction is input during a game play, image data corresponding to a play image at a time of input is acquired as captured image data. In the game apparatus, a reduced image of a captured image is generated and displayed in a manner superimposed on the play image. During game control processing is performed, processing that generates and displays the reduced image is performed.
