Abstract
A game system includes: a display device for displaying pictures; an input device for receiving input by a game-player and outputting a signal corresponding to the input; and a control device for controlling progress of a fishing game with referring to the signal outputted by the input device and displaying pictures corresponding to the progress of the game on the display device. The control device includes: a first determination unit for determining whether or not an imaginary fish is hooked and for outputting an affirmative result when the fish is hooked; a second determination unit for determining whether or not the hooked fish is a prey-fish and for outputting an affirmative result if the hooked fish is a prey-fish; a third determination unit for determining whether or not one or more predator-creature exists within a range from a position of the hooked fish and for outputting an affirmative result when the predator-creature exists; and a bite control unit for allowing the predator-creature to bite the hooked fish when all of the first, the second and the third determining unit output the affirmative results. Only if the first to third determination unit output affirmative results, the predator-creature comes out and makes double-bite.
