1. A computer-readable storage medium storing a video game program to be executed by a computer of a video game device for obtaining control data from a control device including image capturing means for capturing an image of a marker object, the control data being captured image data obtained by the image capturing means or data obtained by performing a predetermined operation on the captured image data, and for displaying a game image on a display device, the game image being an image of a virtual game space in which a controlled object is moved by a game process using the control data, the video game program instructing the computer to perform:
- a reference image display step of displaying a reference image at a predetermined position on a screen of the display device;
a pointer image display step of displaying a pointer image at a position on the screen pointed at by the control device; and
an object control step of controlling the controlled object to act according to a position of the marker object in the captured image based on the control data, after the pointer image reaches inside a predetermined area including at least a portion of the reference image.

Abstract
A video game device displays a reference image (an image of a fishing rod 54) at a predetermined position on the screen of a display device. The video game device displays a pointer image (a cursor 55) at a position on the screen being pointed at by a control device. The pointer image is erased when the pointer image reaches within a predetermined area defined based on the position of the reference image. The video game device controls the controlled object to act according to a position of a marker object in a captured image based on control data, after the pointer image reaches inside the predetermined area defined based on the position of the reference image.
