I'm nearly done with the PC88 version and so far nothing lewd. The walkthrough did describe a game over when you try to hug or kiss Linda (the shepherd) in part 3.

But I didn't even manage that accidentally. I did look into the image files (.vsp's) and there was an alicesoft related converter to BMP, it should only run on OS/2 warp. I did not get it to work though. I can check if I can find it again, maybe you'll have better luck. OS/2 shouldn't be hard to find considering IBM doesn't care about it anymore.

The walkthroughs seem to suffer from the typical issues for adventure games, slight things missing which are flags needed to continue. I found 2, one walkthrough (presumably the one you use) does note that you should ask the drug store girl about something (either one of the two flowers or the ghost speech drug) and the other doesn't. It's a needed flag though. Another is the waterfall area in part 2, you need to use the binoculars in the river area. This wasn't mentioned in either of my walkthroughs. Apart from that I still need to do the maze and I assume the big evil castle.

According to the walkthroughs the version differences are either bugs or command order being different whilst still doing the same thing. Some things (Dracula's castle hut) aren't necessary in part 3 in one of the versions. Important difference is the forest maze, the map differs between PC-98/88, one of the walkthroughs details both layouts. The only event that might be different is the Dracula's castle hut dwarf thing. It didn't happen on the PC88 version for me.

I'll have to dump the disk first anyways, I don't have any old JP home computers. Had to buy a mode 3 compatible (USB) floppy drive though, just in case. I do have a link to the completed auction with some pictures, the labels are visible but I was too lazy to check them. Easy to read titles are AmbivalenZ and Uchuu Kaitou Funny Bee, I'm guessing there's demos for them on there. So it's probably 1994? https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/l542579183 I knew it's undumped anyways and for 200 yen it was a good excuse to see if I can dump those floppy types. I'll probably up it if I get it to work, might be broken after all.

All I know is that the Lemonade games were probably released as pack in floppies with a magazine named "LEMONADE first issue" (LEMONADE創刊号) which is probably why it's named like that. Apparently it was a disk for PC88 and the title of that game was " さらわれた美樹ちゃん" or Miki-chan was kidnapped. It's very likely these names are used interchangeably and that they are the same game. The first issue version is also unrelated to TADA apparently. He only worked on transplanting the assets to Little princess and writing a story for that. The games are different, they use the same assets like was said before, but a guide for one won't do for the other. Atwiki states that the game was supposed to be a sequel, but essentially became a remake/port to MSX2 which changes the setting, characters, items, etc.

It's probably a protosystem game in the same vein as LP for MSX2, I doubt TADA rewrote the "engine".

Obviously this is a similar thing to the active megastore disk, except from what I can tell Lemonade never really took off so the amount of disks in circulation would be lower than the megastore disks? Either way, you'd probably have to luck into finding an auction for it or hope some good samaritan dumps it. I never actually checked my PC-88 romsets for it though. But I doubt it has it.
