Abstract
A game system allows a player to move a character within a game space while the player manipulates a shooting device. The game system comprises a mobile mount that can be moved at least in the forward and backward, and rightward and leftward directions, and a gun rotatably mounted on the mount. The game system is responsive to the movement of the mobile mount for moving a character object in the forward and backward, and rightward and leftward directions within the game space, changing the facing direction of the character object depending on the rotational movement of the gun, and displaying a game image representing these actions on a display.
