Abstract
The present invention is directed to a game system that displays a 3-D game screen and a 2-D map screen for representing a 3-D game space. The present game system includes a 2-D map screen display control section, a cursor operating section, a first cursor movement control section, a 3-D game screen display control section, and a second cursor movement control section. The 2-D map screen display control section is to display the 2-D map screen including a first cursor. The cursor operating section is operated by a player. In accordance with an operation of the cursor operating section, the first cursor movement control section moves the first cursor on a 2-D field map. The 3-D game screen display control section is to display the 3-D game screen including a second cursor. The second cursor movement control section moves the second cursor in the 3-D game space in relation to a movement of the first cursor on the 2-D field map.
