Abstract

A hand-held game machine (10) includes a horizontally-long rectangular housing (12), and the housing is covered with a cover (14) almost entirely. Each of top main surfaces of the housing and the cover has a plane shape of pincushion, and thus, the top main surface of the housing forms a lower inclined surface (26) connecting a lower side surface (22) and the top main surface of the housing. At right and left edges of an upper side surface of the housing (20), a left switch (32 L) and a right switch (32 R) are arranged as a first operating means. On the top main surface of the housing, a cross key (16), and an A button (18 a) and a B button (18 b) are arranged as a second operating means, and on the lower inclined surface, a start switch (28) and a select switch (30) are arranged as a third operating means.
