Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to enable a user to play a more interesting and amusing game. This video game system receives specification of a training type for the main game character by means of a controller 5 and increases or decreases the values of a plurality of parameters that characterize the main character in correspondence with the specified training type. In this video game system, different average values are set for respective countries from which a country of citizenship is selected for the main character, and the user specifies the country of citizenship of the main character at the start of the game. When a parameter value is to be increased or decreased, if the growth restraint control part 105 judges that the parameter value is greater than the average value, based on the average value holding table 230, which holds the average values and the parameter holding table 240, which holds the parameters for the main character, the increment correction part 106 suppresses increase in the parameter value by multiplying the parameter increment by a constant value a (0<a<1).
