Jan. 6, 2001: (Ver.0.01) - I started this game guide. Finished most part
                           of "Getting all the endings".Finish partly of 
                           "Getting all the CGs". I wanted to add that
                           I will probably slowly take my time to
                           finish this guide.

There is 11 endings total. 7 of them are Yuka-chan's and the other 4 is
Aya-chan. One of Yuka-san's endings is the worst ending, where she will
go back to Tokyo halfway in the game. To get that, you must have made
some very bad choices. For example, laughing at her when she is 
scared watching the show. :D 

First, I would like to point out the only really important choices in 
the game and how to answer those choices to get each endings. Of course,
you must AVOID making choices that leads you to the worst ending. 

To get the best endings, you have to have either blue shiori or red shiori 
for your save game. To get a shiori, you have to finish the game once with
good/best endings. Finishing good/best endings for Yuka-san will earn you
a blue shiori and finishing good/best endings for Aya-chan will earn you
a red shiori.

 Q - What the difference between the original Roommate Ryoko series 
     with Roommate Novel?
 A - If you have played Sega Saturn's Roommate Ryoko, you will notice 
     the major difference between Roommate Novel and Roommate Ryoko is 
     that Roommate Novel does not based on internal clock, which means 
     that it is much easier to see all Roommate Novel's events. 

 Q - Do I need to understand Japanese in order to play the game?
 A - You need to understand Japanese to UNDERSTAND the game, otherwise 
     I don't see any other appeals to the game. 

 Q - Can I played this game on my American console?
 A - No, you cannot unless you used a Interact DC Gameshark or installed
     a modchip your console. You also get a Japanese or Asian console to
     play the game.
