Abstract
A game system generates an image from a predetermined viewpoint of a game region and an object for operation by a player on a screen of a display device. A discrimination image of an input device is displayed on the screen. When an image of the game region is changed according to the change of a viewpoint, a correlation between the direction specific to a direction indicating section of the input device and the direction specific to a direction indicating section of the input device and the direction specific to the game region in the screen is constantly maintained irrespective of such the change so that the direction specific to the game region in the screen substantially coincides with the direction specific to the direction indicating section grasped from the discrimination image.
