Abstract

See full text

An objective is to provide a game machine and information storage medium enabling a player to freely select another player for playing a game together. A list screen of other players' information (or information relating to any other player for playing a game together within a common game space) is displayed. When a player selects another player for playing a game together while viewing the list screen, a computation is performed for implementing a game play between the player and the selected player in a common game space. The other players' information may include information of other players' game scores, information of other players' histories (which can be retrieved by inputted identification information), information of characters controlled by other players. The other players' information may further include remodeling information of motorcars and message information inputted by other players. If a player does not select another player, the player can play a game with a computer. A player can reserve another player to play with, or a game space for a game play. By offering reservation to another player who is playing with a different player at that time, a game play with the player is reserved.
