     Note: This is the Japanese game Hooligan by FrontWing,
     NOT the English game Hooligans: Storm Over Europe by
     Thirteenth Production. It's not my fault if some
     illiterate Webmaster of some game Website presumes they
     are the same game.

2.   NUTRITION INFORMATION (Introduction)

     Title:    Hooligan
     Genre:    Love comedy adventure + card battle
     Rating:   Adult Only (Keep out of sight of children
               and parents)
     Players:  1
     OS:       Windows 98/2000/ME (Japanese version)
     Maker:    FrontWing
     On Sale:  Thursday, 22 November 2001

2.1  1ST IMPRESSION

     Hooligan for Windows, by FrontWing, came out on
2001.11.22. FrontWing is the maker of Canary (Kanaria) -Kono
omoi wo uta ni nosete-, and is probably related to Groover,
the maker of Green Green.
     This game is on two CDs. The first CD installs the
game. The second CD, which apparently has BGM and song
tracks, runs the game.
     The game doesn't allow the player to choose the install
size. After installation, the game occupies up to 721 MB.
     When the player runs the game, it instructs the player
to place the second CD in the CD drive, but the player can
keep the first CD in the drive and play the game anyway,
albeit without BGM.
     The game has 10 save game slots.
     When the player starts a new game, the game asks for
the protagonist's family name and personal name. The
protagonist's default name is Nogi Yukito. Nogi is in kanji
and Yukito is in katakana. Because this is reportedly a
superhero game, I changed the protagonist's name to Hirono
Kenta, a la Yume Senshi Wingman.
     Right-click during the game gives the player way fewer
options than in, say, Green Green and Oyakusoku Love.
     The player can save game at a multiple-choice node, but
when the game loads the save game, it loads to a point
slightly before the multiple-choice node.
     The game reportedly has Ecchi anime and four OP and ED
songs.

     *SPOILER ALERT*

     The protagonist is a guy who lives alone. In Episode 0,
one night, en route to the conveni, a DB Energy Dimensional
Bionic Energy blast from the night sky hits him. When he
awakes in a park, he sees and speaks with another himself. A
cute little girl-like android also appears and attacks him
with cute Bomberman-like missiles, but an intelligent,
half-dog, half-rabbit alien named ISAO kun appears and saves
him.
     Later in Episode 0, the protagonist chooses one of the
three factions of heroines with whom he'll ally for the rest
of the game:
     1) the Kamen Rider-wannabe superheroine Tougou Hiromi,
or
     2) the two Miko sisters Amou Yuuka and Amou Yuuki, or
     3) the SM Queen-like blond alien woman Orga Mengele and
her two followers (the above-mentioned Burikko android
Margrethe Arthur and the taciturn ESPer girl in a powered
suit Victoria Nelson).
     The protagonist will still have Ecchi events with the
heroines of the two factions with whom he doesn't ally.
     The heroines have voices. The protagonist and ISAO kun
haven't. Some minor female chara, such as the teacher of the
protagonist's class, also haven't.
     BTW, the FrontWing programmers are cheap. In Episode 0,
instead of an event CG of the six heroines punching each
other, the programmers use a line of static symbols that
look exactly like O-_-)=O O=(-_-O in the message window and
relevant sound effects to represent the melee...

     Incidentally, I didn't watch the Hooligan OVAs, but the
OVA chara designs look the same as the game.

     [Ramble ON]

     FYI, in Ecchi games, I dislike anal, bandage,
bestiality, bondage, boys love/gay/homo/Shouta/yaoi,
Burikko, choukyou, gakuen mono, kemono, kichiku, kyonyuu,
Lolicom, Mah Jong, maid, nun, nurse, okama (except the
Hokuto no Ken type), orgy, scatolo, slime, tentacles, and
zombies.
     (I know. Picky, picky.)

     [Ramble OFF]

2.2  CARD BATTLE MODE

     In and after Episode 1, when the protagonist fights,
the game enters Card Battle Mode.
     Each side has a green HP (Hit Points) meter and
(AFAIK) a red MP (Magic Points) meter.
     In each round, each side begins with five cards. At
the lower right corner of a normal card is a janken icon. A
special card has no janken icon.
     Each side then deploys three of its five cards. After
you deploy the first two cards, you can withdraw the two
cards by pressing the RMB (right mouse button, not the
Ren Min Bi of Communist China). After you deploy the third
card, you can't withdraw any card, and the game instantly
executes that round. In the next round, you get three new
cards.
     The positions (left, centre, right) you deploy the
three cards matter when the game compares the janken icons
or specialties of your and your enemy's cards. When no card
stays on the table, or the same number of cards stay on the
table, that round is a draw.
     The side that has one or more cards staying on the
table wins that round  and decreases the other side's HP.
When a side has two or three cards staying on the table,
that side does a special attack CG.
     (These special attack CG somehow remind me of the
fights in the ancient 3x3 Eyes -Kyuusei Koushu- for
Windows, one of the first Japanese Windows games I played.)
     When a side has multiple members, the game cycles to
another member in the next round.
     I don't know what happens when the protagonist's side
loses a fight? Probably game over?

3.   SOLUTION

     Note: This solution is incomplete. In my 1st Play, I'm
     aiming for Yuuka and Yuuki's endings.

     During the game, the player can hold down the Ctrl key
to fast-forward the text.

3.1  EPISODE 0

     First node:
     1-11. Seigi no mikata no musume wo mamoru. (Tougou
Hiromi.)
     1-12. Miko ni'ningumi wo mamoru. (Amou Yuuka and Amou
Yuuki.)
     1-13. Uchuujin sanningumi wo mamoru. (Orga Mengele,
Victoria Nelson, and Margrethe Arthur.)

     The protagonist chooses one of the three factions of
heroines whom he'll ally with for the rest of the game.
     (No, the player doesn't get to choose one of Floral
Mint, Parro-Parro, or Tropical.) (^_-)
     After the protagonist chooses a faction, his clone
doesn't necessarily ally with one of the other two factions.
     AFAIK, if the protaognist chooses 1-12 or 1-13, each
heroine in each team has a mutually exclusive, separate
ending. Even if the protagonist chooses 1-11, Hiromi
reportedly has two different endings.
     Anyway. If you choose 1-11, go to Scenario 1 for the
rest of this solution. If you choose 1-12, go to Scenario 2
for the rest of this solution. If you choose 1-13, go to
Scenario 3 for the rest of this solution.
     (In my 1st Play, I chose 1-12. Soon, I'll decide to aim
for which Miko's ending first.)

     SCENARIO 1 <No Carrier>

     SCENARIO 2

     From 1-12, Episode 0 has no more node.
     To monitor whether the protagonist or his clone is the
evil deity, the Miko sisters allow him to live with them at
the Amou Gokoku Jinja (Shintou shrine).
     Between Episodes 0 and 1 is the Hooligan OP animation
with an OP song. The player can press Enter to skip the OP
animation.

     SCENARIO 3 <No Carrier>

3.2  EPISODE 1

     SCENARIO 2

     First node:
     2-11. Kyou kara koko de kurasundatta! (From today, I
live here!)
     2-12. Ore ha kekkon shitandatta! (I'm married!)
     2-13. Kore ha yume da! (This is a dream!)
     All three choices lead to 2-21 to 2-23, but the first
few lines of Yuuki's answer are different.
     Also, I don't know how each choice affects the
parameters between the protagonist and each of the Miko
sisters though. (T_T)
     I chose 2-12.

     Second node, from 2-11, 2-12, or 2-13:
     2-21. Hee-, igai. (Eh-, unexpected.)
     2-22. Kateiteki nanda ne. (Feels at home.)
     2-23. Sore tabeeru no? (This edible?)
     All three choices lead to 2-31 to 2-33. The protagonist
goes to the courtyard to tell Yuuka that breakfast is ready.
     I chose 2-22.

     Third node, from 2-21, 2-22, or 2-23:
     2-31. Subarashii ne. (This is wonderful.)
     2-32. Sou kana. (So.)
     2-33. Sugoi naxa? (Isn't this wonderful?)
     All three choices lead to 2-41 to 2-43. The protagonist
meets the Miko sisters' grandma, Futaba, who's akin to
Cherry in Urusei.
     I chose 2-31.

     Fourth node, from 2-31, 2-32, or 2-33:
     2-41. Kawatta baasan dana. (Strange old woman.)
     2-42. Doko kara mite mo youkai dayo. (From wherever I
look, she's a monster.)
     2-43. Futari mo izure kou naru noka? (You two will also
become like this?)
     All three choices lead to 2-51 to 2-52. The player
learns the protagonist is Burning Desire, and his clone is
Reason. Either can be good or evil.
     I chose 2-41.

     Fifth node, from 2-41, 2-42, or 2-43:
     2-51. Yuuki san ni. (Yuuki.)
     2-52. Yuuka chan ni. (Yuuka.)
     Both choices lead to 2-61 to 2-63. From this node to the
end of the game, the player should always choose the choices
that only improve 1) the parameter between the protagonist
and Yuuki, or 2) the parameter between the protagonist and
Yuuka.
     Oh well... For simplicity, in my 1st Play, I'll aim for
Yuuki san's ending first. From now on, maybe I'll elucidate
just the nodes that affect the heroines' parameters. In my
2nd Play, I'll aim for Yuuka chan's ending second. OTOH,
after my 2nd Play, I don't plan to replay the game, ally the
protagonist with another faction, and let him "examine"
Yuuki san and Yuuka chan.

     After the seventh node, Margrethe and the Heero
Yuy-wannabe mercenary Victoria become the protagonist's
classmates. (?_?)
     After the 10th node, Vi, Mar, and the protagonist meet
Nurse Mengele. (@_@)

     13th node:
     2-131. Yuuka to issho ni iku. (Yuuka.)
     2-132. Yuuki to issho ni iku. (Yuuki.)

     14th node:
     2-141. Yuuki san no hanashi nara OK.
     2-142. Kandou shita yo.
     2-143. Betsu ni dou demo ii.
     I chose 2-141. After this node, a giant flower monster
(the eco-terrorist Fumikadan) appears.

     15th node:
     2-151. Katte ni nadukechatte ii no?
     2-152. Nan dayo, sono namae.
     2-153. Naming sense ii naxa.
     I don't think these choices affect Yuuki, but I chose
2-151.

     16th node:
     2-161. Sou, sono toori da!
     2-162. Sou iu wake demo nai kedo...
     2-163. E-to?
     I don't think these choices affect Yuuki, but I chose
2-161.

     17th node:
     Skip shimasu? (Skip?)
     1-171. Shinai. (Don't skip.)
     1-172. Suru. (Skip.)
     Card Battle: The Miko sisters and the protagonist VS
Orga, Vi, and Mar. Don't skip this fight.
     If you choose 1-172 and skip the fight, the Miko
sisters' faction automatically wins, but the protagonist
can't... examine Orga, Vi, and Mar.
     If you choose 1-171, the game enters Card Battle Mode.
After the Miko sisters' faction manually wins, the Miko
sisters and ISAO kun temporarily go away, and the
protagonist can examine the half-conscious Orga, Vi, and
Mar. Save game here, so the protagonist can examine all
three, and the player can admire all three Ecchi CG.
     Hmm... In Yuuki's special attack CG, she holds her
sword with a ninja/ku'noichi's reversed grip.

     18th node:
     Skip shimasu? (Skip?)
     1-181. Shinai. (Don't skip.)
     1-182. Suru. (Skip.)
     Card Battle: The Miko sisters and the protagonist VS
Fumikadan. You might as well skip this unimportant fight.
     If you choose 1-182 and skip the fight, the Miko
sisters' faction automatically win.
     If you choose 1-181, the game enters Card Battle Mode.
After the Miko sisters' faction manually wins, the game goes
to the following 19th node anyway.

     19th node:
     1-191. Sou datta?
     1-192. Yuuki san no tame ni ganbatta yo. (Yuuki.)
     1-193. Yuuka chan ga ita kara ne. (Yuuka.)
     After this node, Episode 1 ends. I chose 1-192.

     Between Episodes 1 and 2 is a no-telop music video (ED
animation) that features the Miko sisters, then the OP
animation. IIRC, the singer of the Miko sisters' theme song
is Satou Hiromi.

3.3  EPISODE 2

     First node:
     2-11. Yuuki ni dakitsuku. (Embrace Yuuki.)
     2-12. ISAO wo nagetsukeru. (Throw ISAO.)
     2-13. Otonashiku okiru. (Get up.)

     If you choose 2-13, you get an extra node:
     2-21. Mitorechatte. (Yuuki.)
     2-22. Iya, nan demo nai yo. (Yuuka.)
     If you choose 2-11, you don't get this extra node.

     Third node:
     2-31. Yuuki wo matsu. (Yuuki.)
     2-32. Yuuka to issho ni iku. (Yuuka.)
     2-33. Futari to issho ni iku. (Both? None?)
     2-31 and 2-32 display a CG of that heroine and lead to
extra nodes, before they arrive at the school. I chose 2-31.

     Extra node 1, from 2-32:
     2-41. Yuuki san tte... (Yuuki?)
     2-42. Youkai Hunter tte... (Both? None?)
     2-43. Kimi no koto, motto shiritai... (Yuuka.)
     Reference only.

     Extra node 1, from 2-31:
     2-41. Yuuka chan tte... (Yuuka?)
     2-42. Youkai Hunter tte... (Both? None?)
     2-43. Kimi no koto, motto shiritai... (Yuuki.)
     I chose 2-43.

     Extra node 2, from 2-43:
     2-51. Ore mo hazukashii yo.
     2-52. Hazukashigaru koto nai yo.
     2-53. Gomen... IYA datta...?
     I chose 2-53.

     Fourth node:
     2-61. Stalker ppoi ki ga...
     2-62. Nesshin'na ko danaxa.
     I chose 2-61.

     Fifth node:
     2-71. Yuuki san to issho. (Yuuki.)
     2-72. Yuuka chan to issho. (Yuuka.)
     I chose 2-71.

     Sixth node:
     2-81. Ie, arimasen.
     2-82. Mondai arimakuri desho.
     2-83. Yuuki san no iu toori!
     I chose 2-83. Hiromi chan, pinch! (^_^;) After the
Hiromi Ecchi CG is a fight.
     Card Battle: Yuuki and the protagonist VS Kodama
Miharu. You might as well skip this unimportant fight.
     After the fight against Miharu is another fight.
     Card Battle: The protagonist VS Trigun [sic]. Don't
skip this fight.
     If you didn't skip the fight, the protagonist
automatically examines the les + Loli + Meganekko Miharu,
and gets an extra node:
     2-91. Kao ni dasu. (Face.)
     2-92. Momo ni dasu. (Thigh.)
     Save game here, so you can admire the two Ecchi CG. In
2-92, Miharu's reaction is very unsafe...

3.4  EPISODE 3

     First node:
     3-11. Uun, sonna koto nai yo. (Not at all.)
     3-12. Un, chotto ne. (A bit.)
     3-13. Okage de me ga sameta yo. (Thanks to you, I'm awake.)
     I chose 3-11.
     During breakfast, when the protagonist's speaking with
Grandma, he mentions Chigasaki Megumi, the idol singer (CV:
Yukino Satuski) in Canary -Kono omoi wo uta ni nosete-.
Grandma also speaks about defending the Teito (Toukyou) and
Paris, cf Sakura Taisen series.

     Second node:
     3-21. Kidukanakatta.
     3-22. So- dayo, keshou gurai suru yone.
     3-23. Do-ri de kyou no Yuuki san, kirei da to omotta.
     I chose 3-23.

     Third node:
     3-31. Sou sou, touzen dayo. (Of course.)
     3-32. Sonna koto nai zo. (Not at all.)
     3-33. Yuuka chan no tsukutta mono nara nan demo taberu
yo. (Will eat anything made by Yuuka chan.)
     I chose 3-31.

     Fourth node:
     3-41. Sokka, sou dayo na.
     3-42. Arigatou. (Thank you.)
     3-43. Onkisegamashiinaxa.
     I chose 3-42.

     Fifth node:
     3-51. Iku iku. (Go.)
     3-52. Iya, yameteoku yo. (Don't go.)
     Both choices cause the same result. Vi and Mar dump the
protagonist anyway.

     Sixth node:
     3-61. Hahaha, MOTE MOTE dane.
     3-62.
     3-63.
     I chose 3-61, but I don't think this node is important.

     Seventh node:
     3-71. Issho ni iku. (Go together.)
     3-72. Issho ni ikanai. (Don't go together.)
     Same result. Hiromi and the protagonist go to the Akazu
no Ma anyway.

     Eighth node:
     3-81.
     3-82.
     Same result. The protagonist enters the Akazu no Ma
anyway.

     Ninth node:
     3-91. (Yuuka.)
     3-92. Dochiraka to iu to Yuuki san no hou ga. (Yuuki.)
     3-93. (Both.)
     If you're aiming for Yuuki's ending, the game probably
displays a Yuuka Ecchi CG.

     Tenth node:
     3-101. Suki dayo. (Yuuka.)
     3-102. Dochiraka to iu to Yuuki san no hou ga. (Yuuki.)
     3-103. Ryouhou tomo suki da. (Both.)
     I chose 3-102.

     "na, nanananana, nani yatterunda, omae!!"
     - Amou Yuuka

     Card Battle: Yuuki, Yuuka, and the protagonist VS
Yumenyoubou the Succubus. Reportedly, the protagonist can
skip this fight and lose nothing.

     11th node:
     3-111. Hinketsu ja nai no?
     3-112. Mata, Miharu chan no shiwaza kamo.
     3-113. Ore wo yuuwaku shiteoite sorya nai yo.
     I chose 3-113.

3.5  EPISODE 4

     First node:
     4-11.
     4-12. Futari ga shinpai dakara.
     4-13. TOIRE [toile].
     I chose 4-12.

     Second node:
     4-21. Saa?
     4-22. Daijina tokoro daro.
     I chose 4-21.

     Third node:
     4-31. Sore mo moteru otoko no shukumei.
     4-32. Daijoubu dayo, chanto tsukeru kara.
     4-33. Nani ittendayo, DORAMA [drama] ja arumaishi.
     I chose 4-31.

     Fourth node:
     4-41. (Special training.)
     4-42. (Hot spring.)
     4-43. (Ping pong.)
     I chose 4-42.

     Fifth node:
     4-51. (None.)
     4-52. (Yuuki.)
     4-53. (Yuuka.)
     I chose 4-52.

     Sixth node:
     4-61. Taisetsu ni suru yo.
     4-62. Ichiou, motteoku yo.
     4-63. Iranai yo.
     I chose 4-61.

     Seventh node:
     4-71. (Own power.)
     4-72. (Fallen rocks.)
     4-73. (Sword of Protection.)
     I chose 4-71. Yuuki and the protagonist don't have a
Card Battle with the bear or the protagonist's clone.
     Later, after the protagonist's faction defeats the
other two factions, Yuuki and the protagonist have an Ecchi
event (fella and nakadashi).
     (Gee, I always thought a Miko must remain... chaste to
keep her divine powers...?)
     The Ecchi event has a bit of bouncy Ecchi animation.
ISTR reading in a game mag that the animation director of
this game is the chap who did the Tonari no Oneesan OVAs. I
don't know whether this game and its OVAs share Ecchi
animation scenes?
     (FYI, back in the '90s when Fushigi Yuugi was on TV in
Japan, I watched just a few episodes of it before I quit
watching it, but I've heard something about Yui chan's...
health.)
