Waterfront Adventure

Released in 1990, this title is a highly unique adventure game that graced the final years of the PC-8801 series. The protagonist, having traveled from Yamagata to Tokyo, is tasked with a bizarre mission to save his kidnapped lover: he must collect 10 pairs of panties from Yokohama Expo event companions, a premise that stood out even in the eccentric bishoujo game scene of the era. The gameplay requires clever wits and complex dialogue to outsmart the companions, drawing players into its one-of-a-kind atmosphere. It serves as a valuable historical artifact that captures the spirit of the free-form, experimental software development rampant in the hobbyist PC market of the time.

A young man who has moved to Tokyo from Yamagata rushes to find his missing girlfriend, Emi. He soon discovers that she has been kidnapped by a total degenerate. The perpetrator’s ransom demand is for the hero to collect 10 pairs of "freshly worn" panties from the event companions at the Yokohama Expo. To rescue his love, the protagonist must embark on a grand mission, using every trick in the book to obtain the items from the companions.
