Premise
In Initial D Arcade Stage, players race against different opponents in various mountain passes featured in the manga. Using the optional magnetic card system, players can save a customized car and their progress for future sessions; otherwise, game progress is lost. Players can continue progress with their cards on another Initial D cabinet of the same version. However, the card must be renewed every 50 plays.
Note that resuming from another version is subject to following conditions:
- It is not backwards compatible (i.e. a version 2 card cannot be used on version 1 machine).
- Upgrading the card to a more recent machine is permanent.
- When upgrading from one version to another, remaining plays will be carried over and 50 plays will be credited to the card.
There are ten games in the series so far: seven are for arcades and three for home consoles.

Famous quotes containing the word premise:
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
