From the school of Really Bizaare Yet Cute Japanese Virtual Pets, comes "Pocket Love".
Pocket Love is a virtual cat "couple" that lives in a heart-shaped, paw-shaped, or Hello Kitty
shaped container. You can program their astrological signs, and their blood types; this gives
you a "compatibility percentage" or a number of "love points" to start with.
The object of the game is to collect 100 "love points" and let them live happily ever after.
You can collect more love points by:
You can do two to four functions per day; you have four "credits", and the first three functions take up a credit each. Kissing uses up two credits!
Those functions don't always work though; sometimes, the girl-kitty doesn't feel like flowers, and sometimes she doesn't have fun at dinner. The Pocket Love makes a certain kind of noise to let you know when the "Love Attack" works; if you don't hear it, then your attempt to make the kitties friendlier failed, and you wasted a credit for nothing!
Fortunately (?) the kitties have "love problems" which you can solve for extra love points. These problems can happen any time of the day; you need to keep your ears open to catch the Pocket Love's pitiful mews (a sign that the kitties are having a love problem). If the love problems aren't solved quickly enough, the kitties start losing love points... so watch out for the following symptoms!
Yes, hardly the most enlightened example of gender-typing and role models, but what were you
expecting from the company that celebrated Hello Kitty's 25th Birthday by giving her a boyfriend?
