1. A body-sensing game apparatus for playing by first and second game players a game by displaying a character on a screen of a display, comprising:

  • a first input device to be grasped and moved in a three-dimensional space by said first game player;

    a second input device to be grasped and moved in a three-dimensional space by said second game player;

    first signal output means incorporated in said first input device to output a first acceleration correlated signal according to an acceleration upon moving said first input device in the three-dimensional space;

    second signal output means incorporated in said second input device to output a second acceleration correlated signal according to an acceleration upon moving said second input device in the three-dimensional space;

    first control means for making a change on said character in accordance with said first acceleration correlated signal; and

    second control means for making, in accordance with said second acceleration correlated signal, a change on said character that is made to be changed by said first control means,wherein said first control means makes, in accordance with said first acceleration correlated signal, a change on said character that is made to be changed by said second control means, wherein said first control means determines, when said character hit-back by said second acceleration correlated signal of said second input device reaches a first ball return limit position, an out ball or safe ball in accordance with whether or not a reach position of said character is on a table character, at a time it is determined based on said first acceleration correlated signal that said first input device was not swung, andsaid second control means determines, when said character hit-back by said first acceleration correlated signal of said first input device reaches a second ball-return limit position, an out ball or safe ball in accordance with whether or not a reach position of said character is on a table character, at a time it is determined based on said second acceleration correlated signal that said second input device was not swung.
