Daisu-Kiss (ver JAA) ROM

The title, Daisu-kiss comes from combining two Japanese words, "daisuki" (love) and kiss.

In this game, you compete in a series of mini games to gain the affection of one of your classmates or an adult.
There are 8 selectable characters altogether. You choose one, and a CPU will choose a separate character. The gender you choose to be does not affect the gender you are allowed to pursue. You can choose to pursue a different character every round if you wish or the CPU. Like many other arcade games, a second player can join in.

There are 5 rounds in a game, with three rounds being during high school, and 2 rounds occurring during Summer and Winter break. You will play a mini game and quiz each round. During Summer and Winter break, you will not have a quiz, but instead, a bonus mini game will occur. You answer yes and no to a series of questions to reach a series of 8 different letters at the end. Depending on the letter you get, you will gain hearts with the character you result in.

There are a variety of minigames, with there being several quiz sections as well. Doing well will raise the amount of hearts (affection points) you have with a character. Failing the minigame will prompt a continue, and you will lose all your points.

Cooking: In this game, you must flip takoyaki balls every time they steam. Flipping a ball while it is not steaming does not make you lose a life, but instead takes up a small amount of time. Depending on the difficulty, you will either need to make 6 takoyaki balls, or 12. You lose all 3 of your lives if you burn 3.

Dancing: A disco dancer will provide a series of dance moves that you must then copy. The last move will always be the button key. You need to complete 3 rounds and can only afford to mess up twice.

Hammer: In this game, perverts, drunkards, etc. are coming towards the character you are pursuing. You must use the hammer to "whack" them away. If the character you are pursuing gets touched three times, you will fail the minigame.

Gang: The character you are pursing is in trouble with a Japanese high school gang. You must move left and right in order to deflect a heart to hit the gang boss. "Dropping" all three hearts will prompt a continue.

Three legged race: You and the character you're pursuing are in a three legged race, and you need to press the right and left keys in order to move forward. The pace will speed up, and if you mess up, you must start up slowly again. Place 1st or 2nd to win, but if you are in last, you will not impress the character.

Find the person: A wanted poster will come up. The character you are pursuing will be wearing a particular outfit, and you must pick out the character in a crowd. Pick out the character correctly three times to pass, and you have two lives.

Giant parfait: You and the CPU are both eating half of a giant parfait. You must rapidly finish eating your half before the timer runs out. If you do not finish in time, you will fail the game.

Pocket phone: You are given a series of numbers which have a Japanese word of phrase associated with it. For example, the number 712 would result in the answer knife. (naifu in Japanese) You must answer 6 questions correctly, and will lose if you answer 3 questions incorrectly.

Kiss: This minigame will only be prompted if you or the CPU choose to pursue a character with the word "kiss" next to them. This will randomly occur. You are shown the kissing face of the character you are pursuing. An ace card will flip back and forth, and you must only select the kissing pose of the character. If they are not in a kissing pose, you will lose a point. Selecting every kissing pose will result in 10 hearts being gained, and you will lose a heart every time you miss the face or kiss the wrong character.

After every minigame, you will also have a quiz. You can choose a subject out of three given to you. There are several subjects, including: Japanese geography, math, English, and Japanese Kanji. You must answer 6 questions correctly. Running out of time on three questions will cause you to fail the quiz.

There is also one other quiz that will randomly occur. It is a sex education game which also include a variety of "joke" questions.

Several adults can also be pursued but only with a random chance occurrence. The school nurse can be pursued if you play the sex education quiz. The P.E. teacher will randomly appear in the Three legged race minigame, and a pink suited man can be pursued if he appears in the Find the Person game. A dancer can also be pursued when she randomly shows up during the dancing minigame.

At the end of the game, you choose the character you wish to be with. The CPU will also choose a character they want to be with. If you have gained enough hearts with the character you choose, they will accept and confess their affections. If you do not, they will reject you. You do not get to see the CPU's results.
