STAR TRAP

Released in 1987 by Jast for the MSX, *STAR TRAP* is a text-based adventure game adapted from the legendary *Cream Lemon* OVA series. It follows the comedic exploits of space security duo Ran and Kanata as they navigate various sci-fi missions using their unique abilities. The game is notable for its role in the early history of adult-oriented multimedia tie-ins, featuring a command-input system and the "Jast Sound" voice synthesis support common to the developer's titles of that era. Through its mix of slapstick humor and narrative decision-making, it provides a window into the 1980s Japanese microcomputer gaming scene and the cross-platform development of anime-inspired software.

Set in the vastness of outer space, "STAR TRAP" follows the exploits of Ran and Kanata, a dynamic duo of space security officers caught in a series of chaotic mishaps. Through a blend of intensive training simulations and unexpected encounters with hostile forces, the two must master their unique E.S.P. and shapeshifting abilities to overcome increasingly difficult challenges. Players progress through the narrative by engaging in dialogue with eccentric characters and issuing specific commands to influence the pair's actions. Ultimately, the story centers on the duo's mission to outwit their adversaries and resolve the intergalactic incidents threatening their peace.
