     Note: I DO NOT have this game. I typed up this file as
     a "fan service" for the fellow Kimagure Orange Road
     fans out there.
     If any Kimagure Orange Road fan site, whether Ayukawa
     faction or Hiyama faction, wants to host this file,
     ask me.

1.1  1ST IMPRESSION

     [Ramble ON]

     First, I'm Ayukawa faction always (albeit a Tsundere
babe like her in real life might be a self-centred,
egotistic b_tch).
     Second, I typed up this d_mn file not because I
should, but just because I could (and had the free time
and will).
     I guess this and other retro games are available,
somewhere out there, as modules (as LZH, RAR, or ZIP files)
for emulators that work under Windows XP; but I'm not
familiar with this aspect. f(?_?)

     For comparison, I became a Kimaore fan when I read it "in real time" 
(week by week) when it ran in the Shuukan Shounen Jump (Weekly Shounen 
Jump). IIRC, other contemporary manga series that also ran in Shuukan 
Shounen Jump included: Black Angels, Cap Tsubasa (Captain Tsubasa), Cat's 
Eye, City Hunter, Hokuto no Ken, Shape Up Ran, Space Adventure Cobra, Yume 
Senshi Wingman, &c.
     OTOH, for forgotten reason, I didn't collect Shuukan Shounen Sunday 
(Weekly Shounen Sunday) for Urusei (Urusei Yatsura).
     Partly because I was a stubborn Kimaore manga fan, I boycotted the 
Kimaore TVA (TV Anime), not because it was unavailable to me, but because 
I'd a prejudice against, and was turned off by, the differences between the 
manga and TVA settings, such as the addition of the fat cat in the Kasuga 
home, and the colours of the heroines' sailor fuku.
     Besides, the Kimaore mangaka (comic artist) Matsumoto Izumi sensei, 
when without his assistants, couldn't draw for his life (all right, I'm 
aware of his real sickness); and the TVA writer Terada Kenji s_cked so hard 
he could replace gravity.
     OTOH, I watched the Kimaore Shuukan Shounen Jump Special (pilot) OVA 
(Original Video Anime) that came out before the TVA, and collected almost 
all the TVA CDs and CDVs; even a (black vinyl) LP and SP here or there.
     In the early 1990s, when I was active in various anime message 
areas/BBS/conferences/newsgroups in the Internet, I was annoyed when a 
newbie would pop up, ask what/who are everyone's favourite anime 
title/chara, and never pop up again; so after the thousandth time such 
irresponsible hit-and-run (or eat-and-run) happened, I compiled a list of 
the anime chara whom I loved, liked, disliked, hated, and thought worth 
mentioning.
     Whenever the next time such newbies popped up again, I posted the list, 
and continually updated it.
     To be concise, my top three favourite anime heroines (not game or 
manga) were and are:

     Asagiri Yohko dono       OVA Genmu Senki Leda:
                              Fantastic Adventure of
                              Yohko

     Ayukawa Madoka sama      TVA Kimagure Orange Road

     Tokimatsuri Eve chan     OVA Megazone 23

     These also explain my support for Aoni Pro female CV Tsuru Hiromi sama, 
who voices two of these three heroines, with Miyasato Kumi chan as 
Tokimatsuri Eve chan's CV (chara voice). BTW, Megazone 23 is read as 
Megazone Two Three, not "Twenty Three".
     Second Lieutenant Sayla Mass of Kidou Senshi Gundam (Mobile Suit 
Gundam) is amongst the top ten.
