Erroneous input is prevented on the event of input of instructions by a game player, which instructions are likely to change according to the state of a game character's abilities, while providing the player with a firm grasp of the state of abilities of the character. In a competitive action game which mimics baseball, among the players operating two connected portable game devices, the player engaged in defense is prompted to select a pitch type for pitching from a pitcher character 450 to a batter character 460. Here pitching ability data is set such that the pitcher character 450 can pitch, as breaking pitches, a sinker, curveball, or slider, with a curve width of 3, 1 and 5, respectively; based on this pitching ability data, the icons 403, 404, 405 are displayed in the vicinity of the strike zone display 410.
