Lumb 2001/07/10 ______________________________________________________________________________ v0.2 (2001/07/10) level 2, reformatted, level 1 names, intro, instructions ___ WHAT IS RIMOCOCORON? _____________________________________________________ It's likely that RIMOCOCORON is intended to mean "Remote Control Colony". Many Japanese words or phrases are shortened in this manner. The game comprises of 7 scenarios. In each scenario there are a number of people (or animals) that wait around until you tell them to do something. There are a number of events that can happen in each scene and it's up to you to make those events happen by instilling thoughts into the inhabitants minds. You do this by selecting a person, thing or location and then selecting the character you want to act out your request. The majority of the time you'll end up with that character responding with a "?" thought bubble, but occasionally they'll go where you tell them to, and one of the scenario's events will happen. When some of these events have been acted out, other characters appear and more events can be tried out. So some events can be said to have "pre-requisites" that must happen before you can even try them. Each scenario also has a specific "end event". This is normally only available after a few pre-requisites have been met, and when you find it, the level will end in a dramatic manner. ___ WHAT ARE THE CONTROLS? ___________________________________________________ You can moev the camera round with L3, zoom in with O and zoom out with X. The O and X buttons use their analogue capability to change the zooming speed which is surprisingly effective in this title. The R3 stick can also be used to zoom in and out. Rotate clockwise to zoom in and anti-clockwise to zoom out. R1 is used to select the targets and the characters who will perform the events. The first press selects the target and the second press chooses the character that you want to perform the event. When you move over a target that is selectable, the hand icon in the top right will light up. When you select your target, the icon in the top left will light up and the hand in the top right will change into a closed fist. After you select the character, both icons will darken again. R2 displays & hides a bar showing the time left to play this scene in the bottom right of the screen. L2 displays & hides a bar in the bottom left which shows your score in this attempt of the current scene. ___ WHAT ARE THE LEVELS? _____________________________________________________ 1: Saitou family dinner / 84% clear 2: Mera Mera shopping streets / 95% clear 3: Camp site / 44% clear 4: "Good Friend" zoo / 84% clear 5: Ahoville station / 29% clear 6: locked 7: locked ___ LEVEL 1 : Saitou family dinner ___________________________________________ Cast >> Brother (Kenta Saitou): short black hair, turquoise t-shirt, navy blue shorts Cat (Neko): black cat Father (Tadashi Saitou): salaryman, glasses, dark blue top Grandad (Ryuuzan Saitou): white hair, balding, green cardigan Mother (Misako Saitou): short brown hair, red top Sister (Mitsuko Saitou): short brown hair, red top, white hair clip Tasks >> 01 | Tissues | Father | 3 | 02 | Cat | Brother | 3 | 03 | Cat | Mother | 1 | 04 | ?
