The present invention provides a network game progress control system which is
capable of causing a network game between users to progress smoothly without being
subject to effects caused by a data transfer rate disparity and/or a difference
in hardware capacity. The pitcher-side client computer 2a transmits
ball-type information and course information to the batter-side client computer
2b, causes a pitching action of the pitcher character to be temporarily
suspended, and, after receiving batting information transmitted from the batter-side
client computer 2b, restarts the pitching action of the pitcher character,
and causes a baseball game to progress in accordance with a batting action determined
by the batting information.
