A snowboard trainer (SBT) includes an SBT platform, a slide rail, slide supports, a central stand, and a front interface. The slide rail extends from a first end to a second end. The slide supports connect the slide rail to the SBT platform. The slide supports are configured to support the slide rail relative to the SBT platform. The central stand is positioned relative to the slide rail on the SBT platform and positioned between the first end and the second end of the slide rail. The central board receiver is connected to the central stand. The front interface is configured to be secured to a front portion of a snowboard. The front interface includes a roller bearing sized to be retained in the central board receiver such that when the roller bearing is received in the central board receiver, the front interface three-dimensionally rotates relative to the central stand.

In order to attain the object described above, a game apparatus is able to use a touch panel 13 and operation means, executes a shooting game, and positions an aim G3 representing a shooting direction at a predetermined position. When sliding operation is received on the touch panel, the aim G3 is displaced from the predetermined position by a moving distance based on change of a touch position (input coordinate position). Shooting is virtually performed in a direction based on the position of the aim according to an operation on the operation means.

A game machine includes: an operation part including an operation surface on which an operation is performed by an operator; a signal output part to output an output signal in accordance with an operation position to which an operation is performed on the operation surface, and magnitude and direction of load applied to the operation part; an operation-position detector to detect the operation position in accordance with one or more of output signals, each being the output signal, output from the signal output part; a load detector to detect the magnitude and the direction of the load applied to the operation part in accordance with one or more of the output signals output from the signal output part; a processor to calculate state of an object arranged in a game space; and a storage to store control data associating operation contents by the operator with the state of the object.
