This seems to revolve around the Airsoft Skirmish Game, a game similar to Paintball (cause Paintball is illegal in japan, they invented an alternative).
Here are some infos:
| Quote: | The rules to the game originated in Japan . Similar to the Paintball Skirmish game, there are one or two major differences. Firstly, the Airsoft models have a much lesser range than paintball 'markers'; second, there are no paint gel projectiles used in the Airsoft Skirmish game, thus an honor system predominates. The fact that paint is not used to mark your opponent could have been a major problem. However, since personal honor is a way of life and culture in Japan , an d disgrace follows a cheat in that country, they found that to get the rules to work, all they needed to do was rely on their innate codes of personal honor. Thus, if you were hit by an Airsoft projectile in a game, you were required to declare this, and remove yourself from the game. It worked, too, as cheating tends to spoil the fun of the game for every one else involved. The basic rules were, therefore:
You cannot use physical force, as the object of the game is to shoot the opposition, and have fun - it is, after all, only a game.
If you're hit, you're out of the game. |

I've also found a rather shallow review of sorts of the first game (Vol. 56):

A european release was sheduled for release by Gamestreet 505 named as "Team Combat" (later renamed to "Light War") but seems to have been canceled.
There are some screens at play-asia, looks like it offers splitscreen multiplayer for up to 4 people:

There's also a trailer for the new game (Vol. 119) on youtube:

Looks interesting imho, might be worth checking out. |
