Dating Simulation
|
Tokimeki Memorial is probably the most famous dating simulation game,
gaming genre totally unknown, and often misunderstood, outside Japan. You play
a student in high school and have no less than three years to find and date the
girl of your dreams. The ultimate goal being to date the cute red haired
Fujisaki Shiori, a childhood friend. The whole game is turn based and
depends on what decisions and actions you take every week, some or your abilities
will either increase or decrease in consequence or your choices. Those
abilities from Science, to art, sport and General Knowledge and are symbolized
of the game display by simple icons, like a book or a set of potions.
Special activities are also available where you can
increase more attributes at the same time and also be part of special
events. The goal, of course, is to become well balanced and not to spend
too much time doing the same activities. However, you have to keep in mind
the goal of the game is to date the girl of your dream, not to get
a diploma. So being balances is good, but some girls prefer athletic guys,
and other brainy ones.

Tokimeki Memorial is probably the most respected dating
simulation game which ever hit the video game market. And the reason
is, I think, simple. It is far from being an Hentai game displaying
nudity at any given occasion. Tokimeki Memorial is full of
great ideas and incredible graphics, and also mini-games !. The game
is also full of Konami references, like the tinny TwinBee
characters toys on a shelf in the study room (there is even a Vic
Viper if you look closer) or the Gradius theme song being
played during a music concert. Sadly, the amount of japanese needed
to enjoy the game is quite high, both written and spoken, and if you
are not very familiar with it, Tokimeki Memorial will just
end up being a tedious experience.
