This is a hint/walkthrough file for the adult anime game "Ring 
Out" originally from Zyx, English version sold by Otaku. It was 
available from several vendors, and has excellent documentation 
in English, French, and German. I played the English version, 
and in my "Ugly American" way I will ignore the others.

Because anybody that can sell you the game can tell you about 
system requirements, and the game's description is available that 
way too, I won't say much about this one. You may want to know 
that it supports both Windows 3.1x and 95, and there is no 
censorship on the graphics.

It plays as a rather simple multiple-choice text adventure. The 
best parts of the game are that the story moves along rather 
quickly, and that all of the dialogue is spoken in Japanese. Bad 
points are that you have to wait for the dialogue to finish 
before you can go on to the next screen (right click sort of 
works), and that you can only save the game at designated points 
in the story. There is an excellent Windows Help file included 
with the game. About the only thing it doesn't mention is that 
"Alt-space" or "Alt" then <space> will bring up the window menu. 
Also, some of the options and dialogue are British English rather 
than American (snogging? on the game?).

You'll notice the "Replay mode" option on the main menu. That's 
the photoshop in this game, and it will show all the pictures 
you've ever seen while playing the game, H or not. More games 
should do this! To fix the photoshop, notice that there is a file 
in the same directory as your installed ROUT95.EXE file named 
"ZO". ZO is 256 bytes, and most of them start out with the value 
of zero. All you have to do is change them to one, $01, to turn 
on the pictures. While there is a sequence in the game, and not 
all of these bytes are actually necessary, if all you care about 
is seeing ALL the pictures, you might as well use your binary 
file editor to change all 256 bytes of file ZO from $00 to $01. 
End of photoshop patch.

In case you're interested, all the text for the game is in the 
"ZSS*" files, where the last letter is "E" for English, etc. They 
differ a bit in order, but its all there someplace.

There are at least 3 endings to the game:
1. Aya becomes a 'happy wrestler' ('To be defiled and fulfilled' 
	I think she says)
2. She becomes a slave to the owner
3. She ends up with Wildcat Homma (The closest thing to a 'happy' 
	ending I've seen)
I can't seem to find any others, but let me know if you find 
some!

Apparently what controls the three endings is (save the game when 
Homma is apparently about to make Aya come in the ring) the 
choice you make with Queen Mika when it says "JUST GO FOR IT! / 
TRY TO HOLD BACK!".
That controls if you get the "two on one" or "douche" sequence: 
   JUST GO FOR IT! means that both Homma and Mika deflower Aya, 
      and the ending will always be that Aya and Homma are 
      lesbian lovers (the third ending);
   TRY TO HOLD BACK! means that Aya is given an enema and is then 
      deflowered by Mika.
Either way, Aya ends up in the locker room, and is taken to the 
Special Room for a distasteful experience with a fat old guy. 
Distasteful for her, maybe not for you if you're a fat old guy 
yourself! But after that, the endings happen. If you picked "JUST 
GO FOR IT!", then Homma shows up, and the game ends with Aya and 
Homma as lesbian lovers. Otherwise, Mika shows up and takes Aya 
to see the Owner. This leads to the other two endings.
When you get the choice "JUST GO FOR IT! / TRY AND FIGHT IT!", 
this is for the the first two endings:
   JUST ... means Aya ends up as the sex slave of the Owner;
   TRY ... means Aya ends up as "defiled and fulfilled" as a 
      lesbian wrestler for Queen Mika.


Aside from wishing there were more sexy sound effects (PLISH!), 
I will heartily recommend this game. Unfortunately, it is no 
longer available for purchase after Otaku got out of the H 
product business due to piracy.


If you have anything to add to this file, let me know.
