摘要

A setting change image is displayed on an LCD of a terminal device while an in-play user is playing a game while viewing a game image displayed on a monitor. A user different from the in-play user can change various settings of the game without hindering the progress of the game performed by the in-play user, by operating the terminal device while viewing the setting change image displayed on the LCD, such as increasing the number of participants in the game, and changing difficulty level of the game.
