Abstract
After an opponent is determined by a search made in a communication character service, there may be effected transition to an action game service under control of the host computer, or a fight may be performed between terminal apparatuses that directly communicate with each other with temporary disconnection to the host computer. By preparing morphing intermediate moving images, the transition from communication character service to the action game service can be effected without causing an incongruous feeling.
