Sing Along Minoto
to the tune of "Imagine" by John Lennon
Imagine no Minoto
I know it's hard, but try
No weekend game to go to
Enough to make you cry
Imagine no sweet raccoons
Washing all the clothes
And no potatoes from the nose
(Chorus)
You may think it's just playing
But it's more than just a game
Minoto has a way of saying
The truths than no others can explain
Imagine no Minoto -
a painful thing to do -
the foxes, squirrels and rabbits
would be put in the zoo
And balding sushi makers
Dressed in Freudian slips
Would all be eclipsed
(Chorus)
You may think it's just playing
But it's more than just a game
Minoto has a way of saying
The truths than no others can explain
The bread that has the warm warm
Would now be just plain bread
The lovely Pin of Boring,
A bowling pin instead
Imagine no swans dancing
No monkeys riding bikes
No ants taking hikes
(Coda)
You may think it's just silly
But it's more than just a game
Without Minoto, I mean really,
Our lives would ne-eh-eh-ever be the same!

Sakura Suggestions
From the game: Strawberry Juice Room Escape
Written by: zoz
If you've played many of these games, here are things you know (and if you haven't played many of these games, here are things you need to know):
-- the book on the floor will contain a hint for solving the door code
-- an eraser will usually be necessary to reveal the hint in the book
-- the first scene to the right is where you'll find the blue key, most often (but not always!) wedged beside a cushion in the couch
-- there will usually be another item to find in the couch/blue key scene (for example, a hammer, eraser, etc.)
-- always look under the couch. For that matter, always look under, beside, and behind every piece of furniture.
-- the couch/blue key scene also often has a clue or puzzle on the wall
-- the next scene to the right will have a cabinet with three colored locks - red, blue, and yellow. You must find the matching colored keys for the locks.
-- unlocking the cabinet doors will always give you a piece/glass of whatever food item is the theme for the week.
-- in order to get a "Perfect End", you must find five of the food items. In addition to the three found in the cabinets with colored locks, there is usually one visible in the color/cabinet scene, and another in the next (last) scene.
-- the red key is usually behind a piece of furniture, often in the last scene
-- the last scene also will have a puzzle box with a picture on it that must be solved before it can be opened.
-- the puzzle box always contains the yellow key
-- the television screen contains round slots to place the four colored balls in order.
-- once the balls are in place, four grids will show a clue for the four numbers of the door code.
those are the constants in every Sakura game. Here are some common variations:
-- the colored balls may be found
*hanging from a string (you'll need scissors)
*behind something that must be smashed (you'll need a hammer)
*behind a something that is screwed down (you'll need a screwdriver)
*in a wall safe (you'll need a clue to open it)
-- hints, such as the color order for the balls or the clue to open the wall safe, may be found
*painted or sketched on the under side of furniture
*on something that must be wiped clean
*beneath a tile on the floor or behind a piece of the wall
*on a blank canvas (after you find a paintbrush and a beaker of ink)
-- if you see a light switch next to the door, you will need to turn the lights out and go around the room to find at least one essential item or clue
i'm sure there are things i've forgotten, but these are the main features that show up every week. Knowing these will give you a head start, but the game will usually still be a challenge
Good luck and Have Fun!

True, so True.
Excellent hints. Next, maybe an addendum on how to break codes?
(Rotate/switch/swap/negative/mirror etc)
Nah, just kidding about addy :)

Escape to the Spa
Written by: debra
As I play-through
Love tesshi-e and that stylin' jazz piano
Click fan,see code box to right,click bottom of fan and get a SPADE KEY (they are all about the keys here)see a cable of some sort but can't get it.
Grooving on that music...(I really do like it)
Click all the lockers...only the ones with numbers on them open. find a green coin and the one with 30 on it has a slot or an "I" in back
click a window? to the right and it has a peephole or something...below are tiles that light up but don't know the order yet.
move right and click sinks...why so many? Oh, Yeah,,,I am in a spa...I find a stepstool, and use key on another to find a ...what the heck IS that pink thing?...moving on...
How do I get behind the sinks? Oh, stupid me, it is a mirror...clicking on table to no avail...click the door...Oh! it is open...I am outside...I am inside...go to door again...I am outside again...click...back inside ...again... I do this a few more times to make sure I don't miss anything...Nothing here!
Going right now...click the plant (mother-in-law's tongue) I like that plant, don't you?
behind the planter is a remote in the window sill...what does it do I wonder...
Going right ...a lot of baskets to check out...
some are empty, some have roman numerals...got a cap and a tartan framed something or other...
I can't look at top shelf...maybe the stool? ...no, not here...
Soooo, I have been all around the room and all I have is 7 items and room for 7 more...I am doing a lousy job here ...but it is oh, so mellow...not the least bit anxious with the gentle background tinkling of the ivories...
What was I doing, now? Oh, that's right...gotta find a place to use these things and find more things...
Looking for clues...looking for clues...how do I get under that table?...looking for anything...Augh! Nothing!
Time to see what everybody else is doing...
I know, it feels like cheating, but it is the only way I am going to get out of here!!!!
Oh, Pooh! Why didn't I think of putting the stool in front of that outside door, I was in and out enough!!!thanks @annaby!
Well that wasn't a peephole at all, it is hard to tell perspective in these virtual rooms...now I have a light...that does what?
The baskets with #'s are in the four corners of shelf...maybe that is the clue? click the corresponding corners and #'s , all combos...am I even close? Nothing!...back to hints...
Ooh! I am brainstorming...the carousel gives the #'ed plates for opening the rest of the lockers!!!! Yeah!!! Thanks @ad absurdum!
Maybe I should've read at least a couple of hints before I started...those were only the first ones! Let's open some lockers!!!!
I got lucky with a 10 and a 16...this is going to take ages...maybe I'll peek again at the clues...somebody must have done it already and I am starting to get tired of this music...
Are you kidding me????? I tried to use 7 for the key that @ad absurdum told us about... didn't work! So it is up to me to open these other lockers at ramdom???? Ahhhhhh!!!!!!
Okay! I found the star and square and opened the plug safe and plugged in the fan...progress, again! Not...I can't find the freaking switch...Am I supposed to turn it on???
Back to the lockers...3 to go...nvm do something else before I go mad...
Got the fan on...with remote? why didn't I think of that? TY @konstantina! OMG! Konstantina! You figured out the lockers!!!
Here I go...All lockers open now!!!
Where did that balloon go? So, now I can put the stool on the table and get the balloon!
See why they call it Mother-in-law's tongue???
The sharp plant popped my balloon!
Got key ... opened plate next to door...another code???
Got door code from tartan thing that I put over bulb...was that some elaborate lamp or what???
Soooo tired! Can't put water in cap...got to get out of this room ...now...
Maybe one day I will come back for Happy end...Bye for now!!!!!

Bread Girl
Written by: zoz
Minoto Disturb Through
well, O.M.G., it's about time! I mean if you can't depend on Minoto on a Saturday, what hope is there for any normalcy?
having gotten that off my chest, so to speak, let me just warn everyone that Minoto seems to be plunging further into the depths of psychological pathology with every episode, imho.
To Wit:
-- we begin with a "bread girl" who is clearly suffering from an oral fixation of enormous magnitude.
--next we get a magnetic card, the description of which is "there are signs used. there are tiny holes." Freud, anyone?
--moving along, we enter a dentist's office. Aside from the obvious implications for Sado-Masochism inherent in the profession, there is a shovel in the office! Good God, could the game makers be more explicit? The presence of the cd player is clearly meant to sooth nervousness - or, perhaps to lull the patient into a false sense of security???
--leaving the Little Shop of Horrors, we find ourselves in a Safari Park, where we encounter a Yeti (Bigfoot) character with a runny nose seemingly surrounded by Easter Eggs (rites of fertility? bodily fluids?).
--also in this scene is a green telephone that takes our "holy" magnetic card, and an animal that is so steeped in denial that it
1. does not realize that it is in dire need of dental work, and
2. thinks that those Uber-long nails are somehow sexy.
Frightening as the thought may be,we move to the next scene, where we find a woman at a vegetable stand. But not just any woman at a vegetable stand, no this woman is a clear representation of the domineering mother - right down to the "M" on her matronly smock. the sunglasses and headband label her as an aging hippie, but the bodyguard on the edge of the screen hints at something much more sinister. Beware.
--returning to the first scene (the one with little Miss Oral Fixation) we can use the shovel in the field to dig up a "Secret case. It was buried in the soil. It is a secret case." A secret case holding secrets of long-suppressed events from childhood, perhaps? We can only wonder.
--a Secret Case clearly belongs in the hands of the Secret Service, so we will give the case to the guy guarding Mommy Dearest.
--Mr. Secret Agent Man takes the case into a nondescript factory building. We follow him and find an exotic animal in a cage. International smuggling ring, perhaps? Maybe the DVD in the briefcase will shed some light on things, even though it is a "disk that person on the blacklist's data entered". Sinister, indeed.
--since the Dastardly Dentist has a CD/DVD player, we can see what's on this blacklist DVD. OMG it sure looks alot like Mom, even though her eyes are blacked out. Not only that, but we get a tissue from her! although it ostensibly "obtained it from a suspicious child on the road", we know that child is Mother. After all, it is a known fact that every mother carries an abundant supply of tissues with her at all times. Often tucked into her sleeve.
--the long-suffering runny-nosed Yeti looks like he could use a tissue. But, gag me with a spoon! We give him the tissue and he blows his nose and out comes a Green Potato. I mean, Ewwww! "Because time has passed since it was put out from the soil, it is green". Oh, sure, like the time it spent in Yeti's nose has nothing to do with the color!
--let's put this green "potato" in the field and bury it at once. When we do, something grows. We dig it up and it seems to be "a lot of potatoes. It has grown up in the soil in the arid zone. It is a potato." It seems the girl with the Oral Fixation is surrounded by a zone of rare fertility.
--ok, we'll take the potatoes to the market, where Mom snatches them up immediately (don't ever get between Mom and ripe produce). Once she has the potatoes, she gives us the "free gift" from the greengrocer to occupy our time. This "free gift" is a nailclipper. What kind of mother gives her child a nailclipper to play with? The kind that wears those Jackie O sunglasses, apparently.
--Because we are caring individuals, even in the face of Extreme Pathology, we will give the nailclipper to the poor creature with the extravagant yet crippling fingernails. It is a Saber Tiger, and it is possible to move freely by clipping the fingernail. Liberation from bondage, it seems.
--This Saber Tiger looks like it may belong to the same species as the caged animal in the factory. When we take it there, it becomes so distraught that it attacks the cage. "The tiger bit the iron-barred window. Teeth have broken". Clearly, this Tiger is a mother who will go to any length to save her cub (unlike Miami Mom).
--But for now, Tiger Mother has a wicked toothache, so let's take her to the dentist (even though he's kind of scary, he's still the only dentist in town).
--Sure enough, Doc fixed the Tiger's teeth without even resorting to laughing gas (which is kind of a shame, actually) and she becomes a Saber Tiger whose "teeth were treated. In addition, it became strengthened teeth". Don't get in Mother Tiger's way now, or you'll be sorry!
--With her strengthened teeth, Mother Tiger bites cleanly through the iron bars of her cub's cage and it's a Mother and Son Reunion, that, coincidentally, releases a key (just a usual key).
--It may be just a "usual key", but try telling that to the little girl with the bread in her mouth when you unlock the gate to the fence that she was unable to climb over. (Releasing a captive damsel in distress; being a hero; there are soooo many implications here!)
--In her haste to escape the boredom of living in a very small town (only one house) the Bread Girl runs headlong into a boy who looks very much like her. A "cute meet" you might think. But this boy looks an awful lot like her brother. Just saying.
Anyway, A busy preparation in the morning was finished! Girl who went to school (with a piece of bread in her mouth, btw), it collided with the boy in the alley.
Draw your own conclusions. I, for one, find this all deeply disturbing.

Find the Dot - Game
Written by: zoz
I can't believe no one has posted a Walkthrough yet! This is a hard one, but I'll do my best. Here goes!
- find the red dot
- click on it
important information: pressing the tab key only highlights a rectangle in the middle of the screen. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the location of the red dot.

Just Graduation 2
Written by: zoz, debra and irishenigma

I know I should keep quiet about this, but there are some things I really must say
1. Is our little genius now a Performance Artist (Suite with Frying Pan, perhaps)? Or, (and this seems more likely), is he just too stupid/lazy to figure out a way to get on the stage for his diploma? And, if he is, then shouldn't that preclude his getting said diploma?
3. And the seemingly pregnant snake... Oh Freud!!! You must be so sad to have missed this!
And all of that in just the first scene!
3. Scene two: If the sun's heat is enough to melt a cast iron frying pan, shouldn't we be eating cooked crab? Just wondering...
4. Scene three: O.M.G. Adam and Eve. O.M.G.
(and, btw, who knew they had a pet dog with a jaunty outfit and a moustache?)
5. Scene four: Why oh why does the raccoon always have to be the one who has to do the laundry? Is it because his name in some languages translates as "wash-bear"? Maybe, but I think there's more to it. Raccoon Discrimination is NOT nice!
6. A pink Vacuum Cleaner?
7. I just have to say, "thank goodness Adam took that apple and got some fig leaves!" I was so offended by the explicit depiction of Adam's and Eve's unclothed bodies!
8. A "Dirty Thing: It is dirty and doesn't understand what it is"
Regarding Freudian Interpretations, this is where I rest my case.
Just one more thing,
CONGRATULATIONS TO MINOTO ON YOUR 100TH GAME!!!
(ahem, sorry for yelling)

I know we all miss SS so I will give it a try
To do this game justice and not to make you cry
A boy is running to and fro and just doesn't know where to go,
Let's pick up this cooking utensil that is used in the Campus Festival
To the right we see a spot that fits
And the bottom melts through by the sun's heat
Right again and again, Maybe this monkey will help
And the cooking utensil with hole blows a soap bubble and a starlike appears
So who would like a star and what could it do?
Go left to the dog and he jumps to break the floating box to reveal a cleaner that doesn't break down
Nothing to vacuum, so who need suction? Left twice to the Boa (isn't there one in every auditorium?)And suck out the "apple that has failed though tried to be swallowed"
And now who wants an apple, go right twice to see
a boy and a girl who have just discovered their nudity...
We are "left" with an apple that man has eaten and a candle it becomes, lit by the sun, and gives a dirty thing who doesn't understand what it is
Right twice to the raccoon who is looking for something to wash...Oh, joy a usual key is revealed, Now just what is locked?
Left again and again and we free the captured sun..once right, place it in the sky
The wise boy and girl drop their fresh fig leaves due to the heat
Right, flying man needs new leaves and flying higher, gives you a box, his name is Tengu
Left twice, a crab helps to open the box which a pleased Tengu has given a set
So let's view the Hinamatsuri and remove the folding screen
Go left to the graduation scene and relieve this poor frantic boy
Give to him the folding screen and up he will climb!
What is he holding? The 100th game!
Thank You Minoto! for the continued entertainment!

ROFL!!!! I love Minoto but this game in her/his series was especially funny... ;)
Dedicated to ALL Walkthrough LifeSavers :D
SILLY SUMMARY aka WALKTHROUGH aka ...: *hehe*
PART ONE
It was a day like any other. I was mucking about when suddenly, I found myself standing in the middle of a graduation ceremony...that was strange enough, but the poor confused lad ...*graduate-to-be* (?) couldn't stop running to and fro, and suddenly waves of nausea descended upon me! blah!!!! I have officially arrived in the *Twilight Zone* and Rod Serling is calling to *what's his face* to find the darn stage already!!
Well, what the ... a frying pan on the floor! ... *don't try to make sense of why it is there in the first place*, just go with the flow! Hmmm...seems it is used in some kind of campus festival...haha! This should be interesting...lol! I'll *bite* (no pun intended...wait, what am I saying...haha!!!!!) Meanwhile, moving right along, I enter a room where the sun is locked up *what?*; I place the pan on top of the cage and *presto, chango*, the sun's heat melted the contents of my little pan, plus it now has a hole. This is getting better and better!!
Alright...what to do with the pan? Oh wait....is that a raccoon doing laundry over yonder? Why yes, it is...so, for no particular reason other than it just seems to make sense in my altered state, I hand the pan to the raccoon and a star from the soap bubbles appears. As for the pan...a mischievious monkey has taken possession of the pan and is gazing adoringly at his reflection! Hmmm...I think I will bop the dog on the head with the bubble-scrubbed star...hehe!! I am past the point of incredulity and observe, with amused interest, as a vacuum cleaner abra-cadabra's to the ground and into my inventory...the fine print states *it doesn't break down*
Now this is where I do a double take...back at the graduation ceremony a snake has slithered into the scene...AND, with a front row view and a suspicious *bump*! What...the sequel to *Snakes on a Plane* ????? Well, I have a vacuum and I'm not afraid to use it...I aim for that suspicious bump and deliver a failed apple only a snake could love ... EEECCKKK...someone PLEASE make that frenetic child stop with the running already!!!!!!!
Okay...we now digress toward the *wild side*...haha!!!!! I fed the *failed* apple to Adam and Eve *did someone say "set-up"* ... rofl!!!! Ohhhhh...what a buzz kill...our naked love children don last year's shrubs...and I am left with apple remains :(
Dejectedly, I trudge back to the room with the caged sun and put the apple in the cup on the table.
For reasons known only to the crab and the sun, Ms. Thing aka *Martha Stewart*, runs into the fireplace and up the ladder, leaving only a dirty thing that doesn't know what it is...oh good grief!
Well...if it is dirty, it can be washed so over to Ms. Racoon we go! Well...look! The dirty, confused thing is really a key!!! I think it is time to unlock the captured sun ...
After placing the sun back in the bright blue sky, it would appear a few unexpected items have been set free...hehe!!! Adam and Eve ripped off their shrubs and are standing in *full frontal* position...except...hmmm, looks like they have *strategically* crossed their legs...
Notice the leaf on the ground...run to the poor guy flapping his arms and give him the hand-me-down leaf...a short burst of energy allows him to *flap* up and knock the present out of the tree... *this just gets better and better...lolol!* Tengu had it, the crab opened it, I set gift at Hinamatsuri, swiped folding screen from pleased Tengu.....*deep breath*
FINALLY...with great ceremony, place the folding screen in front of the stage and breathe a sigh of relief as the poor uuber hyper, *direction-challenged* child walks on stage and receives a diploma!! You click on the diploma to see if it is actually real and you read these words "Thank you the 100th game". ????? You sneak several...ahem... *surprises* into his virgin punch and then go home, still wondering how he reached 100 games...lol!!!!!!!
I realize this Walkthrough/Story is a bit long and takes longer to read than actual game play...haha!!!! But, it is for your enjoyment, and dedicated to my great friends here at EG24 ;)

I know I should keep quiet about this, but there are some things I really must say
1. Is our little genius now a Performance Artist (Suite with Frying Pan, perhaps)? Or, (and this seems more likely), is he just too stupid/lazy to figure out a way to get on the stage for his diploma? And, if he is, then shouldn't that preclude his getting said diploma?
3. And the seemingly pregnant snake... Oh Freud!!! You must be so sad to have missed this!
And all of that in just the first scene!
3. Scene two: If the sun's heat is enough to melt a cast iron frying pan, shouldn't we be eating cooked crab? Just wondering...
4. Scene three: O.M.G. Adam and Eve. O.M.G.
(and, btw, who knew they had a pet dog with a jaunty outfit and a moustache?)
5. Scene four: Why oh why does the raccoon always have to be the one who has to do the laundry? Is it because his name in some languages translates as "wash-bear"? Maybe, but I think there's more to it. Raccoon Discrimination is NOT nice!
6. A pink Vacuum Cleaner?
7. I just have to say, "thank goodness Adam took that apple and got some fig leaves!" I was so offended by the explicit depiction of Adam's and Eve's unclothed bodies!
8. A "Dirty Thing: It is dirty and doesn't understand what it is"
Regarding Freudian Interpretations, this is where I rest my case.
Just one more thing,
CONGRATULATIONS TO MINOTO ON YOUR 100TH GAME!!!
(ahem, sorry for yelling)

I know we all miss SS so I will give it a try
To do this game justice and not to make you cry
A boy is running to and fro and just doesn't know where to go,
Let's pick up this cooking utensil that is used in the Campus Festival
To the right we see a spot that fits
And the bottom melts through by the sun's heat
Right again and again, Maybe this monkey will help
And the cooking utensil with hole blows a soap bubble and a starlike appears
So who would like a star and what could it do?
Go left to the dog and he jumps to break the floating box to reveal a cleaner that doesn't break down
Nothing to vacuum, so who need suction? Left twice to the Boa (isn't there one in every auditorium?)And suck out the "apple that has failed though tried to be swallowed"
And now who wants an apple, go right twice to see
a boy and a girl who have just discovered their nudity...
We are "left" with an apple that man has eaten and a candle it becomes, lit by the sun, and gives a dirty thing who doesn't understand what it is
Right twice to the raccoon who is looking for something to wash...Oh, joy a usual key is revealed, Now just what is locked?
Left again and again and we free the captured sun..once right, place it in the sky
The wise boy and girl drop their fresh fig leaves due to the heat
Right, flying man needs new leaves and flying higher, gives you a box, his name is Tengu
Left twice, a crab helps to open the box which a pleased Tengu has given a set
So let's view the Hinamatsuri and remove the folding screen
Go left to the graduation scene and relieve this poor frantic boy
Give to him the folding screen and up he will climb!
What is he holding? The 100th game!
Thank You Minoto! for the continued entertainment!

The Tower of Eternity 55F
Written by: irishenigma
i am soooo addicted to these tower games...lol!!!! I love the robot toys...hehe!!!! I know this is an easy game, but I just felt like writing a walkthrough... ;) Enjoy!!!!
WALKTHROUGH:
Once upon a time, from a land far, far away, on a dark and stormy night, two friendly space friends flew over to say "hello", and unfortunately dropped a lovely red key! Anxious to help, I walked over to the large red box and noticed ?someone? had placed a bolted lock on it...hmmm! Well, seems we won't be unlocking this box today...however, the curiousity is killing me!! I did notice, though, that next to the pedestal with the red box was a small cabinet. Hidden, on the top shelf, is a small knife!!! Oh cool...I'm going to use this ;) Where, I don't know, but I like aura of being dangerous...lol! Oh LOOK!!!!! I see a shuttered window and it requires a "green" key...hmmm!!!! :) Now where can I find a green key...YES!!!! My eye wanders to the bottom shelf...next to the window is a yellow cabinet/closet and I see some fuel on the bottom shelf...I decide to "borrow" it...hehe!!!! I also discover the green key. WOW...what luck!!! It was taped to the cabinet so I ripped it off and opened the window :)
To my surprise, outside the window was another space friend, but he was tethered to a space pole. I wanted to help him on his way to parts unknown, so I filled his space ship with fuel, then cut the tether so he could fly away! He was so anxious to say "thank you" that he handed me a spanner...oh cool!!!!! Oh wait...LOOK!!!! The bottom rung of the pole has some black heiroglyphics on it; I take a closer look and whoo hoo...it's the code for the blue key!!!! :D Okay...seems I need to find the IC Card so I can escape this episode of *The Tower*...lol!
I think I'll look at that big red box again...now what do I have...oh, the spanner!!!!! Woot!! I use the spanner to remove the bolt and decide to store it away for a rainy day...! As soon as I remove the box, I notice the IC card on top of the pedestal...now we're cooking!!!
I open the box, swipe the IC card, enter the code from the space pole and *leave the building* ;) My space buddy left a cryptic note telling me to hang on to the red box...apparently, I'm going to see it in the next Tower episode! Hmmmm...ponders what this could possibly mean....?
THE END (until next time...lol)
**To Be Continued**
I just felt like telling a story tonight...lol!!! This was definitely one of the easier games in this series, and it was fun. :) Hope you enjoyed my silliness...lolol!!! :D

Cinderella - Find the Alphabets
Written by: zoz
Having heard this song waayy too many times today, my zozbrain has filled in the lyrics as follows (feel free to sing along; you all know the tune)
Strong prescription
Flash of Vision
You're flying coolly through the night
You tried to steal the neon gong
By the blue lake dawn
"Do you speak German?"
"Sure do, yeah, man"
He tried to stop you with a knife
Hey page us when your toenails heal
In Cay Volidaah
I don't actually know where Cay Volidaah is, but this is going to stay with me a long time.
