Abstract

A game device configured to allow a player to easily play a communication game with any other player is provided. The game device includes a table setting section configured to map a correspondence relationship between first identification data and game name. A first identification data recognition section is configured to recognize at least one first identification data that is received through a communication portion. A corresponding game name recognition section is configured to recognize the game name corresponding to the recognized first identification data based on the correspondence table. A game name display section is configured to display the recognized game name on a display portion.

1 . A computer readable medium encoded with a computer program instructing a first game device to perform the steps comprising: 
 setting a correspondence table that maps a correspondence relationship between first identification data and game name;    recognizing at least one first identification data that identifies a game name of an active game on a first game device;    recognizing a game name corresponding to the recognized first identification data based on the correspondence table; and    recognizing second identification data that identifies a type of the first game device.    
     
     
         2 . The computer readable medium set forth in  claim 1  further comprising 
 transmitting the detected first and second identification data of the first game device through a communication portion of the first game device;    receiving first and second identification data from at least one second game device;    recognizing at least one second identification data that identifies a type of a second game device and that is received through a communication portion of the first game device, and    determining whether the recognized second identification data of the second game device matches second identification data of the first game device; and    recognizing first identification data of the second game device if the second identification data of the second game device matches the second identification data of the first game device.    
     
     
         3 . The game program set forth in  claim 2  further comprising 
 recognizing a game name of an active game on the second game device by accessing the correspondence table; and    displaying the recognized game name of the active game on the second game device.
