Abstract

A non-limiting example game system includes a plurality of terminal apparatuses operated by a plurality of players, and connect to a network. The computer system creates a virtual lobby that allows up to a predetermined number of players to participate therein, and sets a player who operates one of the terminal apparatuses as a player who is virtually present in the lobby in response to a request from that terminal apparatus. The game system also automatically selects one from a plurality of games including at least games requiring different numbers of participant players, according to the number of players who are present in the lobby and are not playing a game and are ready to play, and automatically selects participant players in the selected game from the players ready to play.
