ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus can achieve a game in which an object is transferred from one game apparatus to another by showing it flying on a screen. When a management data acquisition unit acquires management data indicating that the object is transferred to a game apparatus itself, an object control unit displays the object on-screen and accepts a user's operation instruction from an input unit. The object control unit determines whether or not the object is to be transferred in accordance with the user's operation instruction. A destination selection unit selects the destination of the object. A management data transmission unit transmits management data to the other game apparatuses. The object control unit updates a management data storing unit.
