Abstract
Realization of a game with good operating properties using a personal computer is made possible. Because the home position of a catcher's mitt character determining a pitch course can be determined, and movement to the home position performed, by a single key operation of the keyboard, return to the home position can be performed with ease similar to that possible when a player removes a hand from a joystick or similar in dedicated game equipment to cause return to a home position, so that operating properties are improved.
