ABSTRACT:
The player gives a change in the input through a touch operation to a character pattern P2displayed on a second display screen12acovered by a touch panel. The character pattern P2is associated with a player character P1displayed on a first display screen11a, and is displayed on a larger scale than the player character P1. The player character P1is moved according to the change in the input. Thus, a video game is provided that is played on a dual-screen video game device with a novel operation in which the player can accurately specify an intended position.
