Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Tokkaedama (Konami, Puzzle Game, PSX) Hirameki Mode (Puzzle Mode) hints file, part 1 of 2 V1.0 1/5/98 Compiled, organized, and written by: Richard Uyeyama (ruyeyama@best.com) The latest version of this file can be found at: Just Another Day At Kirameki High http://www.best.com/~ruyeyama/psx/jadakh.html Document formatting, organization, and wording Copyright 1997, 1998 by Richard Uyeyama. Permission granted by author to duplicate (unaltered) this document in its entirety for non-profit purposes only, and *only* in conjuction with its companion document (Hirameki Mode hints file, part 2 of 2).

NOTE: This document is meant to be used in conjunction with its companion document (Hirameki Mode hints file, part 2 of 2). Without the second half, this document won't make much sense... The purpose of this document: This document (in conjunction with its companion document) is a hints resource for all 99 levels of Hirameki Mode (Puzzle Mode) in Konami's puzzle game Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Tokkaedama (PSX version only; the SSat version, alas, has completely different Hirameki Mode levels...). Solutions are not presented in this file. For complete solutions to all 99 Hirameki Mode levels, you can consult my Hirameki Mode solutions file, which should be available via my Tokkaedama webpage, the address for which is listed at the top of this document. Similarly, for general information about Tokkaedama, please see my Tokkaedama FAQ, also available via my Tokkaedama webpage... How to use this document: If you're stuck on a Hirameki Mode level in Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Tokkaedama, find the level in this document (hints file, part 1). For convenience, you'll find the initial situation and conditions listed. You'll find there, listed under "Hints", one or more numbers. These numbers represent hints listed in this file's companion document (hints file, part 2). btw, these hints have been randomly numbered, so as not to accidentally reveal hints for adjacent puzzle levels (or adjacent hints for the same level)... Anyway, if there's more than one hint listed for a level, they should be listed in increasing order of revelation (more or less; since people's thought and analysis processes do differ, there's no way to absolutely guarantee anything of the sort...), so look at the first hint for a gentle nudge in the right direction, look at the second for a stronger push, and so on... I've tried to design the hints (especially the first hints for each level) so as not to be *too* revealing, but since there's no way to standardize something that varies by how one thinks, do be warned that any specific individual may find some of the hints too revealing... even while others may find the same hints perhaps not revealing enough. Oh, some of the hints actually refer back to previous ones (from the same puzzle), so always look at them in order, instead of skipping directly to the last hint...
