Abstract
An objective is to provide a game system and program which can simply and easily execute a game operation command having a complicated operation procedure. A command list ( ) showing techniques each of which is executed normally by manipulating buttons of a game controller with a given operation procedure, is displayed to a player. When a player selects a technique and presses a button B, a key record of that technique is assigned to a game button L. By pressing the button L, the technique of the assigned key record can be performed by a game character ( ). The assignment information of key-record is stored in a memory card, enabling the assignment to be effective when the game system is powered on next time. By reading data of a command list externally through an information storage medium or communication line, a secret technique can be obtained. During a game, a command list ( ) is displayed and a key record can be assigned to the button L. A handicap can be set by allowing or forbidding the player to assign a key record.
