An interesting type of game

(first off, blame all these crappy game center photos on Kurt, another guy who's staying in the house I'm at in Yokosuka) This is a -really- cool idea for an arcade game style. The idea is that you go to a vending machine type box and buy some random "cards" (they're called "IC cards" because they have some microchip in them that reacts to specific sensors. IC cards are big here).. These cards will represent something to do with a specific arcade game. For example, baseball players. You place these cards on the "field" deskspace in front of you, in the positions you want the players to be. The game is then based on you having these players in these positions. A pretty dern cool idea.
