Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom being a text adventure suits the home computer well. The game is in the classic On-Line Systems/Sierra On-Line style first pioneered with Mystery House, with a distinctly Japanese flair. There is very little explanatory dialogue and each distinct room is presented like a manga panel with available options rather than a guessing game narrative structure. This style likely draws from the design of the Portopia Serial Murder Case by Enix, often noted as a precursor to the modern Japanese visual novel genre.

A simple port of Mappy by Dempa Micomsoft for the NEC PC-6001mkII/PC-6601 Series. It is very rare due to it’s late release during 1986, thus was mostly forgotten about. To run this, please make sure to select Mode 5 (N66 Basic). When prompted with “How Many Pages?”, type 1.

This date was then confirmed by extracting the data with XBEExplorer. A debug menu is also enabled which allows the player to change various options such as the frame rate, controllers, going into “fly mode” and “capture mode”, and much more.
