So if anybody's read the old games board, they may have seen a post mentioning the existence of an older Japan-only Princess Tomato game for the PC:

Those too lazy to read it: it's essentially a walkthrough of the original game from 1984, a text adventure that has even WEIRDER graphics than the NES version and functions on a text parser. It's worth a look just to see what the original incarnation looked like.
And if that weren't enough:

...there's a newer cell phone version. Which makes you wonder exactly HOW popular this game was, or whether Hudson is just really that obsessed over the concept of a cucumber rescuing a tomato from a pumpkin.
...I SWEAR they must've been on drugs for this.
