Magical Date is an arcade game and Playstation skill game and dating sim, known in Japanese as sotsugyou kokuhaku daisakusen or dokidoki kokuhaku daisakusen. In this game, the player picks one of three possible girls to date and then starts off in a square as in a board game, proceeding to other squares which have different mini games. At junction points the player is asked questions about their date and has to pick the correct answer, or she will become upset. The game is mostly in the Japanese language, but the gameplay is intuitive enough that most parts are playable by a non-Japanese speaker, and the question-and-answer segments can be figured out by trial and error using save states, given that there are a limited number of permutations of questions and answers (specifically, twelve in the case of a three-question segment with four possible answers apiece). Magical Date was released by Taito in 1996.[1]
