This is a hint/cheat file for the adult anime DOS/V game "Aishim" (also known as "Sisters in Love", "SL", or "Ai Shimai") from "Silky's". At one Internet WWW source for the game it was posted as aishim_v.zip. The game was also supposedly posted on the Usenet group alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.anime, but I happened to be away that week. It is usually distributed as 1 zip file which just needs to be unzipped in its own directory (just for neatness) before play. I've got it in two versions, which I call AISHIM and SL. The differences between them are explained below. The game requires DOS/V or DOSJ to see the Japanese text, and some expanded (EMS) memory (512K?) to operate. DOSJ will need some extended memory too. Run PLAY.BAT (for SL) or GAME.BAT (for AISHIM) to start the game. The game has 640 by 480 16-color VGA graphics, and automatically detects SoundBlaster-like cards (no problem with a ProAudio Spectrum 16) to play music. The AISHIM version has slightly different *.DAT files, and has no music. Personally, I prefer the "SL" version, because of the lack of the 2-choice thing at the beginning, and the presence of the music. The graphics appear to be the same in both. I was able to get both versions to work in full-screen MS-DOS in Windows 95. This game seems to be your opportunity to get at two young girls, and two older ones too, as well as see some lesbian action. The story is (thanks to Li Sun) that you force the lady that hit your father/uncle's (oyaji) car to sign a money loan paper. With that, you have fun with her, and her two daughters happen to be in your school. Your uncle and his secretary are in the fun too, somewhere. The worst of the endings is that you end up in prison, the best is that your uncle is arrested and you live happily. But since this game is menu driven, if you don't read kanji, good luck finding the "happy" endings. When you start the AISHIM version, you get a choice of two options: they choose between "transparent" and "solid" backgrounds for the menus, and do nothing more as far as I can tell. The SL version skips right past that and is always transparent. The PLAY.BAT and GAME.BAT files are slightly different too, and using one with the "wrong" game will cause problems. I don't know what the "D" or "E" argument does, but in one case the game won't start, and in the other case the main menu loses the "exit game" choice, and there's no way to quit except to restart the computer. If somebody wants to disassemble the SILV executable, they can figure this one out. Also, the AISHIM version doesn't make you wait for the vertical red letters to appear on the main menu screen, and doesn't do the "shaking screen" animation in two of the endings. The key will advance you past all the text to the next menu choice in the game. Using it may also reduce the delay before the main menu appears when starting the game. In the initial (main) menu, the first menu selection starts you at the beginning of the game, at a car crash scene. The next 5 selections load saved game 1 through 5 and begin play from there. The next option is the Photoshop, where you see all the sexy scenes marked as seen in the game. Use the key to fly through these, but notice that some have animation which must complete before it will go to the next screen. After the Photoshop option, the next option will let you jump into individual sexy sequences in the game. Those that you haven't seen yet can't be selected on the following sub-menus. On all of those, the last option will back you out. In the sequences, you will have to select options to proceed from screen to screen. Play these the same way as the real game. After the sequence option, the next option will bring up a sub-menu listing all the endings in the game which have been marked as seen. You can select any of these and run through it to the end. As before, select the last option on the sub-menu to back out. And finally, the last main menu option will exit the game. But first, you have to confirm on a sub-menu by selecting cancel (top) or exit game (bottom). The file "FLAG5" controls which endings are marked as seen, and which pictures show up in the photoshop. By changing byte $52 through $E8 to the value $11 with a binary file editor, all 10 endings are marked as seen, all the sequences can be seen, and all 78 pictures are turned on in the photoshop. These are presumably all the sexy scenes in the game, and I didn't even try to find all the endings the "normal" way. The copy of SL that I got had most of the endings and pictures already set, and the copy of AISHIM didn't, so I was able to narrow down the possibilities quickly. If you have anything to add to this file, let me know. Pete Karsanow - bishoujo.helper[AT}sbcglobal{DOT)net http://www.geocities.com/hentaihelper/
