This is a hint/cheat file for the Chinese adult anime DOS/V game "Lakers2" which is also known as "Holy Beautiful Girls Squad 2" or "San 2". Original author was Apple Pie. The version I got was already installed and cracked. The "cracker" text for "Lakers" is probably still appropriate for this one: This is yet another game converted from a Japanese game, a futuristic wargame where you control a bunch of girls and combat evil space aliens... blah, blah, blah... It works rather like Power Dolls and the graphics is great just like most other Japanese games. And Li Sun said: This game is similar to Lakers 1, but with a few improvements and better story. One of the improvements is that they now have armor and their attacks depend on which armor they equip. As for the story, the guy came back after missing for half a year (that means you) to save the five girls from aliens wanting the energy crystal and earth. In between battles, he tries to clear up the trouble he has when all five girls love him, he loves one, but doesn't mind getting comfortable with others. Other than that, he gets to meet new/old enemies and friends, plus getting to know some of his past. Now where have I seen this ending before? Could it be from the Sailor Moon R movie? This time, they tell you the girls' 3 sizes and stuff. For the girl I was in awe with in Lakers 1, her 3 sizes (cm) are B 94, W 58, and H 84, WOW! OK, back to me! Graphics are supposedly 640*480*256. Sound is for all Sound Blaster and compatible cards. Some MIDI music too. I ran SETSOUND and figured out some settings for my SB 32 PnP that worked; there's enough audible feedback from the SETSOUND program that you should be able to figure things out on your own. But wait until the little blue stars start across for at least the second time before you decide you're getting no sound! For some reason, the first few seconds of a song are always silent. You may need to tinker with the 3rd through 5th settings to get any music at all; toggle all 3 to whatever makes music work. You need some extended memory to run LAKERS2.COM, 1024K is enough. 564K of conventional memory isn't enough (what my Windows 98SE gives me), but the 622K when I reboot into DOS mode was enough. If you get the message "Memory not enough!" try rebooting Windows into DOS mode. No DOSJ or DOS/V needed. Run LAKERS2.COM, eventually you get to a 6-item menu. From top to bottom, they are: 1. Start new game (with LONG introduction) 2. Load a saved game 3. Sound On/Off 4. Jukebox (31 songs!) 5. Photoshop and other data (see below to enable) 6. Exit game There is apparently no keyboard input in the game, just mouse. Where you have a small popup menu on the bottom left of the screen, left-click for Yes or exit, and right-click for No or cancel. This looks like a really cool game, but I haven't got the time to play it. The same procedure that got you the Photoshop in Lakers works here too! Aren't some of the chests (particularly for #4) HUGE!? Here's all you do: 1. Create a file called MEMORY 2. Run the game and go to the photoshop! The MEMORY file can be anything, but for grins I tried it with zero length and it worked! Here's a quick way to create a zero length file in DOS: "sort > memory" and then press Ctrl-z. You're probably wondering where the Photoshop is, look inside main menu option #5. Well, each of the 6 characters (#7 exits back to main menu) has their own song, plus 6 options on the right. The stats in the middle must be for the game, I guess. The options you want are the top one (stats for the person, really just the girls' measurements if you care), the fifth one (which is the Photoshop for that character, two or more pictures each), and the last one (exit back to 7-option menu). The others just show text or pictures of equipment. 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/
