Little red, blue and green men

Barney introduced this fun little game to me. It's a cute Japanese online game that I've gotten hooked on since Friday morning. To win each level, you have to find and click on the little - really minute - men in the scene within the given time. If your cursor happens to move over one of them, he'll jump up and down and shout out a few Japanese phrases which I don't understand. He sounds really cute though. I managed to complete all five levels (the last two require pure speed) and was rewarded with a few wallpapers.

It turns out that the game is actually part of a bigger game called Roommania #203, a Japanese Sega Dreamcast game (soon to be available on PS2). It's a simulation game, but not the usual kind. You toy with this guy's life - touching his things, reading his diary, playing with his computer (even locking him out of his own room!) - and get to watch him freak out when he comes home to a changed room. There are storylines in the game but you'll need to have a high level of Japanese language to understand what's going on in Neji Taihei's life.

Oh, I hope they release an English version of the game!

Go here to try out the game!
