Game device
First Claim
1. A game device comprising:
- virtual start time deciding means for deciding virtual start times for a plurality of matches;
related match selection means for selecting at least one match, from the plurality of matches, taking place at least partially at the same time as a main match a player'"'"'s team is taking part in as one or more matches related to the main match based on virtual start times for each match decided by the virtual start time deciding means;
related match simulation means for simulating the one or more related matches;
event storage means for storing event time and event content for prescribed types of events occurring in the one or more related matches;
main match execution means for executing the main match;
event time arrival monitoring means for monitoring for arrival of the event time stored by the event storage means during execution of the main match; and
event content output means for outputting event content corresponding to the event time when it is determined by the event time arrival monitoring means that the event time has arrived during execution of the main match.

Abstract
In order to output event content of a related match during execution of a main match, there is provided a virtual start time decider for deciding virtual start times for a plurality of matches, a related match selector for selecting, from the plurality of matches, at least one match, taking place at least partially at the same time as a main match a player'"'"'s team is taking part in, as one or more matches related to the main match based on virtual start times for each match, a related match simulator for simulating the related matches, event storage unit for storing event time and event content for prescribed types of events occurring in the related matches, a main match executor for executing the main match, an event time arrival monitor for monitoring for arrival of the event time stored by the event storage unit during execution of the main match, and an event content output unit for outputting event content corresponding to the event time when it is determined that the event time has arrived during execution of the main match.
