ABSTRACT:
A predetermined special control point is added to an accumulated special control point in accordance with predetermined lapse of time up to a predetermined maximum accumulated value. An image display apparatus displays the accumulated special control point on the image display screen. The special control is executed in the case where the accumulated value of the special control point is more than an initial value when an instruction to execute special control is received on the basis of operations of the player. In this case, an action speed of a non-player character is caused to become slow with respect to that of a player character under the special control.
