It will result in infrindgement of this copywrite resulting in legal action. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FAQ covers Super Famicom Game "Princess Maker : Legend of Another World" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've had a pretty extensive collection of Princess Maker webpages over the years. I suddenly had the realization of "Hey, why not write a FAQ of sorts?" I've been visiting Gamefaqs.com for years, and there aren't ANY for the other Princess Maker games. So... I'm going to write a collection of FAQS, all of which have to do with the Princess Maker series. Hopefully they'll be useful to someone. I almost thought someone would have come out with at least the other games faqs by now. Oh well! I'll try to be as helpful as possible. If statments from this FAQ seem awfully familiar, you probably have been to my Princess Maker Nexus Webpage at some point in your child raising careers. It's easier just to quote what I've already written instead of starting fresh and new. Anywhos... do you want to see pictures and stuff from the games? Check out the above said webpage, and please let me know if you enjoy this FAQ or want to let me know about something at my email address of nuriko@maison-otaku.net. ~ Nuriko Contents: ---------------- 1) Introduction 2) Options a) Your Surname b) Daughters Name c) Your Daughters Birthday d) Your Age e) Your Birthday f) Your Daughters Bloodtype g) The Menu Screen h) Your Daughters Statistics I) Secondary Statistics II) Father / Daughter Interaction 3) Jobs a) Housework b) Church c) Tailor d) Farm e) Restraunt f) Salon g) Government Forge shop (weapons) h) Graveyard i) Dancing Girl j) Tutor k) Circus of Sword Fighting Men l) Temple Hall of Pleasure 4) School a) Science b) Language Study c) Theology d) Strategy e) Fencing f) Fighting g) Magic h) Protocol i) Painting j) Dance 5) The Festival 6) Adventure 7) People and Rivals a) Others b) Your rivals 8) Going around town 9) The other games ---------------------------------- 1) Introduction | ---------------------------------- Princess Maker is a game series created by Gainax. You may know of Gainax through their animated features before their video game creations. They are the popular folks behind Neon Genesis Evanglion, Gunbuster, Nadia: Secret of Blue Water, Otaku No Video, and a great deal of others I cannot recall. It originally started back in 1991 with a simple game titled "Princess Maker". It was pushed off as a "Childcare Simulation Game" and was released for the IBM PC. Eventually it had spawned into a rather extensive series of games, including a Princess Maker 2 and 3, plus a Playstation game called Princess Maker: Go! Go! Go! Princess, a Princess Maker Puzzle game, a Quiz game called "Princess Maker Q", and even a Princess Maker 4 in the works. Princess Maker: Legend of Another World was the third game created for the series. This FAQ is composed of information gathered from the Super Famicom version. Remember, this game was only published in Japanese. I'm working from a Japanese version of the game. While it may seem hard to navigate through such a game as Princess Maker with absolutely no knowledge of Japanese, I have translated the basic statistics, the job names and schooling. There are even some options I may neglect to mention. There are so many menus in this type of game - I apologize if you get lost along the way (especially those who aren't able to read Japanese one bit). ----------------------------------- 2) Options | ----------------------------------- When you start the game, you are given several options and your decisions now will affect how your daughter will live for the entire time. I will explain what the options are, in order that they appear. Starting the game. When you start the game there is absolutely no story to this one, it just goes straight into asking the simple questions that are your main choices. Your Surname: Daughter's Name: Daughter's Birthdate: Month, Day Your Age: Your Birthdate: Month, Day Daughter's Bloodtype: Bloodtype The controls are REALLY simple for this. Start to start the game. A button to initialize/execute anything, and B button to exit out of the menu. If you accidently go into a menu you don't want, press B and you will exit it. That simple. You move the cursor around with your control pad. The only four buttons used are A, B, Start, and your controller/D-pad. a) Your Surname This is the name you choose for you and your daughters last name. You can have a very menacing name like "Scarbleeder" and it wouldn't matter in her future. People may comment something loverly like "Look, it's the daughter of Scarbleeder!" b) Daughter's Name This really doesn't mean much. It would just be the name that people refer to you as. Usually in interaction with your daughter. Let's say we chose the name "Idiot". The townspeople would go "Oh look! It's Idiot!". Although there is no special cheat to get the default name, her default name (as listed in the manual, and confirmed by Nine Lives Website) is "Melody". c) Your Daughter's Birthdate This is where your choices actually matter. Your daughters birthday is what determines things like her immediate interests, though they aren't known to you immediately. Your daughters birthday is in the year 690. ~ Aries - March 21 - April 19 ~ God: Mars Physical Strength: 45 Muscle Strength: 15 Intelligence: 13 Refinement: 10 Charisma: 7 Morals: 14 Faith: 20 Sin: 0 Sensitivity: 6 Stress: 0 Combat Technique: 38 Offensive Strength: 5 Defense Strength: 0 Magical Technique: 8 Magical Strength: 14 Magical Resistance: 10 Fighter Reputation: 43 Magical Reputation: 32 Social Reputation: 35 Housework Reputation: 40 Etiquette: 10 The Arts: 15 Conversation: 10 Cooking: 18 Cleaning and Washing: 18 Temperment: 4 ~ Taurus -

You can choose any age you want. You as the father could be 18 or 85, or whatever. e) Your Birthdate This is almost important, in the aspect of if your daughter loves you very much, she will certainly give you gifts and bake you a cake! Oh, you're such a lucky fellow. My suggestion would be to choose a compatible sign with whatever your daughters sign is. g) Daughter's Bloodtype This has a very tiny bit to do with in gameplay. There are four blood types available. Bloodtype is actually very important in japanese culture, and will determine a little bit more of your daughters personality and starting skills. Here is an explaination of the bloodtype meanings. Either way.. here is what I have found in researching about the four blood types. A - People of this blood type are honest, introverted, nervous, loyal, perfectionistic, orderly, detail-oriented, industrious, idealistic, soft-spoken and careful. Positive: Orderly, Law-Abiding, Fastidious, Soft-Spoken and Fashionable. Negative: Picky, Selfish, Secretive, Pessimistic, Inflexable, and Reckless when drunk. When your daughter has an A bloodtype, her stress will be +2 at the end of every month. B - People of this blood type are outgoing, optimistic, adventurous, flexible, passionate, creative, unconventional and have excellent concentration. Positive: Independant, Flexable, Candid, Sensitive, Passionate, and Persuasive. Negative: Unpredictable, Indiscreet, Lazy, Impatient, and Overbearing. When your daughter has a B bloodtype, her stress will be -2 at the end of every month. AB - People of this blood type are proud, diplomatic, discriminating, natural leaders, great organizers, rational and imaginative. Positive: Rational, Calculating, Honest, Diplomatic, Organized, and Strong. Negative: Unforgiving, Playboy, Easily Offended, Too conservative, Nitpicker, and hard to know. When your daughter has an AB bloodtype, her stress will not be affected. O - People of this blood type are over-worker, insecure, emotional, powerful leaders, goal-oriented, enthusiastic, optimistic and good at business. Positive: Healthy, Idealistic, Goal-Oriented, Clear-sighted, Athletic, and Sexy. Negative: Status-seeking, Jealous, Greedy, Unrealiable, Obsessive Lover, and Can't shut up. When your daughter has an O bloodtype, her stress will not be affected. This information was taken from a variety of webpages about bloodtyping. Mainly about Sailor Moon. Too many pages with the same information to give proper credit. It is very vital in your childs personality traits and starting stats. h) The Menu Screen This is when the game starts. Legend of Another World does not have much of a backstory as to why you have this daughter. However, you do have a butler named RAFAIERU, or as I will translate him (and others also have), Raphael. He introduces himself and his duties. A very simple introduction. The Main Screen and their options. Your daughter will be standing in the center (Much like previous Princess Maker games) and you will have a few status boxes to explain what's going on. It should look like this: ---------- ------------------------ |(year) | | First Name | |(month) | | Last Name | |(day) # | ------------------------ --------- | AGE GOLD | | # #### | Daughter | Type of Diet | In | Height CM Weight KG| Middle | Bust/Waist/Hip | ------------------------ Below the box on the right, there will be a box to select the different options for what to to do with your daughter. It's in Icons, but I'll explain what every Icon does in this overexagerated ascii art version of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Statistics Button | Father/Daughter | Diet Setting | Other Stats| | Looks like little red | Chat | Image of an | Where you | | bar measuring stats. | Looks like a | apple and a | can check | | This is your daughters | girl with a | bottle of milk| on her | | statistics screen | dialog bubble | on a table. | other stats| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Town Button | Castle Button | Equip.

You have the options of --- Armory Tailor Restraunt Pawn Shop Church Hospital See "Going around Town" section for details on these. Castle Button: Your Daughters popularity is rated on how well she gets along with all the folks here at the castle. It depends all upon your daughters statistics. You have a choice to speak to these people: Palace Guard - Get up to 40 with him, then he says you need to move on. Royal Guard - Up to 90. You would need sensitivity and refinement to speak to this man. General - Up to 120. He likes refinement and sensitivity as well. Having some combat skills doesn't hurt either, and neither does charisma. Minister of State - Up to 240. This man likes an intelligent and refined woman. Queen - Up to 400. She likes a refined woman with almost a full decorum bar, and temperment. King - The end of the popularity race. He loves a woman with fighting skills/combat skills. Jester - You need conversation skills to talk to the Jester. Your social rep goes down, but your sensitivity goes up. And only in January, Young Officer. You need no special skills to speak to this young man. You choose the first option when it gives that too you, that would confirm that you will agree to meet with him next January. Equip. Button: This is how you dress your child, or give her weapons and armor. You can also use items you'd purchased through this screen. Save/Exit Button: The choices here are... Inscribe a Saved Game Return to a Saved Game Part for a time Schedule: You're able to set your daughters' schedule for the month. You are given the options of: School Job Adventure Vacation - Free Time (Yes, you can give her spare money to lower her stress more) - Vacation (Vacation you pay for) Check under the School and Jobs section for more information on what is available under those options. Adventuring is rather complex and also has it's own section. Please view those under their own sections. h) Your Daughters Statistics The main Statistics Screen looks like this. The boxes are listed like this: +---------------------------+ | Physical Strength | +-----+ Age: Her Age | Muscle Strength | | Pic | Gold: Your Gold G | Intelligence | | of | Diet Icon: "Diet that is chosen" | Refinement | | kid | Height: cm Weight: cm | Sex Appeal/Charm/Charisma | +-----+ B (Bust)# /W (Weight)# /H (Height)# | Morals | +---------------==-----------------------+ | Faith | | Fighters Reputation: _ Magical Rep: _ | | Sin | | Social Reputation: _ Housework Rep: _ | | Sensitivity | +----------------------------------------+ | Stress | +----------------------------------------+ | | | Etiquette: _ The Arts: _ | | (Fonts are bigger on | | Cooking: _ Cleaning and Washing: _ | | this side) | | Conversation: _ Temperment: _ | +---------------------------+ +----------------------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Combat Technique: _ Offensive Strength: _ Defense Strength: _ | | Magical Technique: _ Magical Strength: _ Magical Resistance: _ | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ I) Secondary Statistics: The boxes are positioned and look like this: +-------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------+ | Daughters First Name | | Height: #### cm | | Your Last Name | | Weight: #### kg | | Bloodtype: Letter Type | | Bust: #### cm | | Age: # Years Old | | Waist: #### cm | | Birthdate: Year/ Month / Day | | Hip: #### cm | | Sign: Her Sign | +-------------------------------+ | God Patron: That Patron God | +-------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------+ | Sickness: # % | +---------------------------------+ | Her Health Rating. | | Weapon: If she has weapons | | Delinquency: # % | +---------------------------------+ | Whether she's deliquent. | | Armor: If she's wearing armor | | Popularity: # | +---------------------------------+ | Diet: Her current diet | +-------------------------------+ II) Father / Daughter Interaction Speaking to your daughter is pretty simple. There are a few options here that you need to pay attention to. Speaking to your Daughter - General chat. Find her interests this way! From this screen you have several options. -How she is doing? -Her Studies? -Other Topics -Cancel (goes back to the other screen) Pocket Money - Lowers her stress. It's generally a random small amount. Preach - Somewhat like scolding or being strict on your daughter. -Cancel- - Takes you out of this screen and back to the main screen. ----------------------------------- 3) Jobs | ----------------------------------- The jobs do good or bad stuff to your daughter as well. First off, when your daughter is 10 it gives you initially 5 jobs for her to work. Unfortunately, EVERYTHING accumulates stress. More so in the work environment than in a schooling one. The higher end the job, the more stressful. It also all determines on how good she is at it, etc, and how much it pays. If it's a really high paying job, there may be a lot of stress involved. As most people also discover, she only gets paid if she does GOOD that day. She won't get paid that day if she sucks. Another note, if she works the job a LOT, she does accumulate raises over a long period of time and can aquire bonuses at the end of the week if she does REALLY well. It could be a raise of 1 gold to more, depending on the start pay of the job initially. If you work her at somewhere too often, she may even take up working there as her profession! All the pay listed here is starting pay. You can work on getting her raises on your own. After working EVERY single job for her entire existance (no school, just doing the job twice a month and one vacation each month for her entire lifetime), I was able to discover that you can get at least two to three raises in her lifetime. They're only one or two gold though. So instead of 4G per day, you may work up to getting 6G per day! Oh Joy! a) Housework - 0G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Physical Strength: 8 + Cleaning and Washing, Cooking, Temperment and Stress - Sensitivity b) Church - 1G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Physical Strength: 10, Faith: 10 + Morals, Faith, and Stress - Sin c) Tailor - 4G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Conversation: 10, Sensitivity: 20 + Sensativity, Conversation, Temperment and Stress - Combat Technique d) Farm - 10G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Physical Strength: 35 + Physical Strength, Muscle Strength and Stress - Refinement e) Restaraunt - 8G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Cooking: 50 + Cooking, Sensativity, and Stress - Combat Technique When she turns 11, she'll have a choice of 1 more job. f) Salon - 20G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: The Arts: 45 + Conversation and Sensitivity - Muscle Strength At age 12, she now has the option of another job. g) Government Forge / Blacksmith shop (weapons) - 18G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Physical Strength: 50, Muscle Strength: 80 + Physical Strength and Muscle Strength, - Conversation and Refinement Age 13 gives her another job. h) Graveyard - 15G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Physical Strength: 100, Faith: 60 + Magical Defense and Sensitivity - Charisma and Faith Age 14 opens up another job option. i) Dancing Girl - 12G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Physical Strength: 60, Charisma/Charm: 60 + Charisma - Temperment and Intelligence Age 15 offers two new jobs. j) Tutor - 20G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Intelligence: 130, Morals: 30 + Conversation, Intelligence, and Morals - Charisma/Charm and Sensitivity k) Circus of Sword Fighting Men - 45G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: Physical Strength: 150, Muscle Strength: 200 + Combat Technique and Sin - Temperment, Refinement, and Morals Age 16 gives her the final job. l) Temple Hall of Pleasure - 35G per day What is needed to successfully do this job: The Arts: 40, Charisma 80 + Charisma and Sin - Temperment, Intelligence, and Refinement ----------------------------------- 4) School | ----------------------------------- Unlike the jobs, the schooling stays the same all the time. a) Science Novice: 30G, Adept: 40G, Expert: 55G and Master: 70G These prices are per day/per class + Intelligence - Magical Defence and Faith b) Language Study Novice: 40G, Adept: 60G, Expert: 85G and Master: 110G + Intelligence, Refinment, The Arts, and Sensitivity - Nothing c) Theology Novice: 40G, Adept: 60G, Expert: 85G and Master: 110G + Faith, Intelligence, and Magical Defense. - Nothing. d) Stratagy Novice: 50G, Adept: 70G, Expert: 95G and Master: 120G + Intelligence and Combat Technique. - Sensitivity e) Fencing Novice: 40G, Adept: 70G, Expert: 105 and Master: 200 - Small note. All your skills are filled about the time you hit Adept. If you keep going back to this guy, he'll just say "I'm raising you a level because I just want to charge you more." Wow, if that wasn't the truth or what... + Combat Technique and Offensive Strength. - Nothing f) Fighting Novice: 30G, Adept: 40G, Expert: 55G and Master: 70G + Combat Technique and Combat Defense. - Nothing g) Magic Novice: 60G, Adept: 70G, Expert: 85G and Master 100G + Magical Technique and Magical Strength. - Nothing. h) Protocal Novice: 40G, Adept: 50G, Expert: 65G and Master: 80G + Etiquette/Decorum and Refinement. - Nothing i) Painting Novice: 40G, Adept: 50G, Expert: 65G and Master: 90G + The Arts and Sensitivity. - Nothing. j) Dance Novice: 50G, Adept: 70G, Expert: 95G and Master 120G + The Arts, Charisma, and Physical Strength. - Nothing. ----------------------------------- 5) The Festival | ----------------------------------- The Harvest Festival! It comes once a year, in October. Your daughter has options available for her. Your daughter doesn't need participate, however that would just mean she's doing nothing for the entire month of October if she decides to rest. So, without further delay the contests are... in order that you they are listed in... -Combat Contest- If you win, you get: You have to go through several matches to get through the combat grid to face down with the final person. Every match gives you 200G for each one you win! Huzzah! When you get to the end of the course you get the final prize of... 3000G Sword of Extreme Treasure (Worth 3000G) Do *NOT* sell this item! It is will get you in trouble. -Art Contest- Requirements; Needs a painting. If you win, you get: 4000G Pure and Graceful Picture Frame (Worth 2100G) The Arts + 30, Sensitivity +50 -Miss Contest- Requirements; Needs a dress. If you win, you get: 3000G Best of White Rose (Worth 2500G) Charm +20, Refinement +20 -Cooking Contest- If you win, you get: 3000G Egg of the Best Gold Crow, or in Pm2 it was referred to as the "Bird of Paradise Egg". If you eat it, she will get 50 points of Physical Strength. If you don't eat it, a month later a bird will hatch and your daugther will receive 100 points of Sensitivity. ----------------------------------- 6) Adventure | ----------------------------------- Going from top to bottom, the available adventure options are as follows: a) Eastern Forest b) Western Desert c) Southern Lake d) Northern Glacier Raphael will seem concerned if you send your daughter into the wilderness without equipment. When adventuring, it will state these four options to you: Equipment Rest Seek/Look for Return/Go back When you encounter an enemy, you'll generally have the options of: Speak Fight Hide Sometimes these options don't work, and you'll have to go to another menu. Make a guess from that menu. Most likely you'll have to end up fighting if you couldn't get past that menu. There are too many alternate versions here. Everything from the fact that speaking didn't work and you have to fight, or you have to make a choice between hiding more or speaking or just right out fighting. Hard to say. I didn't adventure much. I suggest having good armor and a fairly well versed child in the fighting arts before venturing forth into the wilderness. Unfortunately, unlike the previous games, you really have no choice as to where your daughter goes. You are given an "RPG" like screen where you can see the forest/desert/lake/glacier, and your enemies will appear full screen in that when you encounter them. The combat system is rather random and difficult to pull off. I can guess that the better your daughter is a magic or combat, the higher number cards she will randomly choose. It's done in a card game like system. With this type of system, it costs MP points to cast any magic. MP is based on your intelligence! Your HP is based on your Physical Strength skill. So take a few classes in science and magic to get halfway decent at wielding magic for MP, and work at the farm or the blacksmith to work on your physical strength. To be honest, most of your daughters enemies (that I've encountered) really have no magic skillz. Sword Card: Can be from 0 ~ 9 Magic Card: Can be from 0 ~ 9 MP Recovery: Can recover from 10 ~ 50 Magical Points HP Recovery: Can recover from 10 ~ 100 Health/Hit Points Spirit Meeting: You can play two cards together with this card. Terror: I think this card makes it so the enemy cannot play a card, and you can play one other card. In the end, it really comes down to if the enemy actually plays a higher number card against you or not. Some cards can null the oncoming (or outgoing) attack, such as an MP card or an HP card. Some strategy can be used here, but not so much. When traveling around in the areas beating up random enemies, you also may stumble randomly across treasure chests, etc. ----------------------------------- 7) People and Rivals | ----------------------------------- a) Others There is a Chinese Orc that visits your daughter, much like in Princess Maker 2 who attempts to sell his products to you, of course, for a price. These items are very useful and will provide a boost of stats if your daughter is low on something she needs (Especially to topple over those other girls in the festivals). You cannot buy these items anywhere else. Buy things and experiment! These are the guesses as to what I could translate. Good luck on finding out what they do. Most things are obvious. The Thin Body Tea is a weight decreaser, the Breast pill ups the bust size, and the necklace of the goddess most likely is mirrored to the item from Princess Maker 2 which has a goddess/fairy visit your daughter every birthday to bless her with sensitivity, charisma, and refinement - this is only a guess. It may not do that in this version. Test out and see what happens :) The Orcs Item List: Thin Body Tea 550G Weight -2 KG 1 Valid Occurance Tree House 1000G Bountiful Breast Pill 1200G Bust +2 Cm, 1 Valid occurance Neckless of the Goddess 1500G Charm + 20, Refinement +20 Armor of ARIAN 2500G Defense +30, Combat Technique +10 Dress of Bewitching Charm 3000G Charm + 60 Morals - 20 Ring of the Flower Bride 5000G b) Your rivals Housework/Cooking Rival: Riri Moraso You can guess her name probably could be romanized as "Lily Morris" or something pretty like that. She has glasses. Once she is determined as your daughters rival, you daughter will feel obligated to participate in the Cooking Contest every Harvest Festival-Time. Dancing/Popularity Rival: Rokusaanu Oojie Romanized, her name would probably be "Roxanne O'Jay" or O'Shea. She is the dancer/popularity type of rival. If she is determined to be your daughters rival, she would feel obligated to particpate in the Miss Contest every Harvest Festival. Fighter Rival: Maruda Miraazu No clue what her name would be romanized. Probably "Maruda Miraz". Works part time in the Armory shop. Gaining this rival would make your daughter feel obligated to do the Combat Contest every Harvest Festival. Magical Rival: Marii Oburiso Romanized most likely as "Marie Obrizo" or something close. She is the magical rival. Your daughter would feel obligated to participate in the Combat Contest every Harvest Festival should she gain this rival. ----------------------------------- 8) Going around town | ----------------------------------- When you go into any shop or area, you normally are given a choice of either "Buy" or "Exit". You click on the item you want, and then you confirm the purchase again. You can usually exit out of this with the b button, or you can go to the exit option. The only exception to this would be the pawn shop which has "Buy", "Sell", and "Exit" options.

The only reason this one was so easy, was mainly because I already hadmost of this information catalogued somewhere. Here is a list of the currently available Princess Maker Games. Princess Maker - This game came out in 1991. Your daughters default name is Maria Rindobagu. The plot is that there was a huge war with the demons of the underworld, and the child is an orphan of that war. You decide to raise her to be your own daughter. Versions Available: IBM/PC Japanese, Chinese, and I've *heard* of a Saturn Version by Microcabin, but I have not found it myself so I cannot confirm that version. A gaming website had it for purchase, and when I called to order it they had already been sold out. Whether or not it was the real original Princess Maker or if it had been Princess Maker 2 (or even 3!) I will never know. Princess Maker 2 - Made available around 1994/1995. The second game in the Princess Maker series. This time your daughter is named Olive Oyl. The plot is similar to the first one, except this time you have a God giving you the daughter to raise from ages 10-18. Versions Available: IBM/PC Japanese, Chinese, and an English Beta version. This one was actually released for the Japanese Sega Saturn by Microcabin, the disc featured different images, complete voice acting for all the characters, plus a bonus 'Drama' track which had Olive whining for a good 6 minutes about why her father works her so much. There is a FAQ currently available for this game. Princess Maker: Legend of Another World - The FAQ you're looking at. This game was released around the same time as Princess Maker 2. It was only released for the Super Famicom system. It plays almost exactly like Princess Maker 2. The only major difference would be the combat and adventuring system is drastically different. The default name for your daughter is Melody. It really is not thought of as part of the series of games, since it is a stand alone product. I imagine it was just Gainax trying to make the Princess Maker series available on many platforms. Maybe someday I should ask them. Version: Super Famicom (Japanese Super Nintendo) Princess Maker 3: Faery Tales Come True - Technically the 3rd game. The japanese title is "Yume Miru Yousei", but also is listed as Faery Tales Come True (Spelled 'faery'). This is the most current child simulation game. This game was a collaberation of Gainax, and the japanese game Company of "Nine Lives". This is a much more involved game, featuring options such as a choice of the fathers profession, and your daughters disposition is much more drastic. Your daughters default name is "Lisa Anderson". Versions Available: Originally released for Japanese Playstation. There is an odd rap with repeatative words as a 'Bonus' track. The PSX version was missing a few features that were included in the PC and Saturn versions. It was then released for IBM/PC and Mac: Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions. There is also a Japanese Sega Saturn version available. This includes the same sort of bonus along PM2's Saturn Game. It has a drama track. Lisa is a much happier child than Olive. THere is a FAQ currently available for this game. Princess Maker Pocket Daisakusen - Loosely translated as "Big Strategy", or I've heard it translated as Mission in a little pocket (??). This game was an attempt at a puzzle game. This game was produced by Nine Lives, it gives you the option of playing either Maria, Lisa, or Olive in an effort to play through scenerios to become a Princess through the art of the puzzle game. It has a very pretty opening theme, and a plethora of voice acting. Versions: Only available for Japanese Playstation Princess Maker: Go! Go! Princess - You know, I'm not even sure what this is. It looks like an RPG of sorts, featuring all FOUR daughters (Yes, that includes the previously forgotten Legend of Another World girl). I've only seen screenshots, but I'm picking up a copy soon! Wish me luck. Also produced by those wonderful people at Nine Lives. I've also got sort of a "Mario Party" feel to the game, but I have no idea since I don't own it. Versions: Only available for Japanese Playstation Princess Maker Q - Another Princess Maker game produced by Nine Lives, this appears to be a quiz game asking questions about the other PM games! There isn't much else that I know of it, but I'm working on gathering a working version. Versions: IBM/PC and Mac. Japanese and Chinese versions. Princess Maker 4 - Originally it may have been slated for the Sega Dreamcast, but now Princess Maker 4 is heading to PCs and Macintoshs very shortly. From what I understand, your daughter is "Karen" who was the host of Princess Maker Q. It looks like a mixture of modern day Tokyo with a Princess Maker setting. Must play this before I can completely judge. ^_^; Verions: As far as we know, Windows 95 (Japanese only). Princess Maker Collection - Princess Maker 2 and 3 put on the Sega Dreamcast and bundled as a "Collection". Distributed by a company called GeneX. This is currently available. It states to be "Powered by Windows CE" on the box. Versions: Sega Dreamcast only. FAQ Is currently available.
