From the USPTO:

4. A recording medium, comprising: 

first computer readable program code means having information relating to an essential content of a game; and 

second computer readable program code means for setting initial conditions for said game, wherein a size of said second program code means is smaller compared to a size of said first program code means, and a relationship between said first program code means and said second program code means is such that said second program code means is always loaded first, before said first program code means. 

Does... does Namco have a patent on all software that generates a starting state for games?  Like... random map generation?  Or giving the player widgets for tweaking aspects of the game?  Or am I projecting concepts onto this code, in some kind of legalistic Rorschach test?
