A program selective execution device, data selective execution device and image display device display on a screen a selecting object formed by pasting a texture of a still or moving image showing the descriptions of an object of selection on each face of a 3-D cylindrical rotating body disposed in a 3-D virtual space; and a user rotates the selecting object by performing a specified rotation instruction operation, judges a face most squarely facing the viewpoint of the user when the user gives a specified selective instruction and selects an object of selection corresponding to that face. The above construction eliminates the need of downsizing each face according to the number of objects of selection, enhances visibility, provides to users an intuitive operational environment associative of an image of rolling a cylindrical rotating body.
