Game system, and game apparatus and event processing apparatus constituting the game system

Abstract

The present invention is to be capable of inhibiting the occurrence of an instance where the enjoyment of a player who plays with the game apparatus by the total event is decreased when a single total event is carried out among two or more game apparatuses. The present game system includes: two or more game apparatuses, each of which comprises a game progress control unit for performing game progress control; and an event processing apparatus for performing a process for carrying out a single total event at the same timing by the plurality of game apparatuses. The event processing apparatus and each game apparatus are connected in a manner to enable communication. The event processing apparatus comprises: an event timing determining unit for determining an event timing at which the total event is carried out according to a predetermined event timing determining condition; and a control command transmitting unit for transmitting to each game apparatus an event control command used for carrying out the total event at the event timing determined by the event timing determining unit. The game progress control unit of each game apparatus performs the game progress control so that at the event timing relating to the event control command from the event processing apparatus, a game progress situation of each game apparatus is caused to be a previously set situation where the total event can be carried out.
