Abstract
A main memory stores a program for enabling a plurality of control members of a manual control input device to emit light in a video game. A CPU executes the program stored in the main memory based on control commands from the manual control input device. The program sends light emission data to control member groups of the manual control input device to enable the control member groups to light successively. Since the control members of the manual control input device emit continuous or flickering light, the user can enjoy the video game because of visual sensations produced by the manual control input device.
