A background image acquisition technique is disclosed for acquiring a background image that is required for calculating a background difference in a video game that uses an input image supplied by a camera while enabling command input through image recognition of a player image. The background image acquisition technique involves compositing a button item for responding to an operation of a player with a portion of an image captured by the camera which captured image includes a player image representing the posture of the player, displaying the composite image on a monitor screen, guiding the player into position such that the player image is accommodated within said portion of the captured image, and acquiring an image of a region of the captured image other than said portion as the background image.
