*************Hitsubishi Pack (Waste of Time Games) - 103 Blocks needed 

4 mini games total.  See below for a description of each.

**** Chicken Catch (Niwatori Tsukami Tori) ****

Concept of the game is to catch chickens and throw them back into the
fenced area located at the top of the screen within 30 seconds.  

     Controls
     A button - pick up/throw the chicken
     B button - jump
     Directional Pad - Movement

**** Super Exotic Slot Machine ****

Must have tokens to play this game.  Below is the Third Option in the 
VMU DEVICE MENU and what you will need before you get started.  The game
itself is self explainatory.

Token --> Barter/Exchange  
      --> Transmit Income (Transfer tokens back from the VMU)
      --> *Take Out (Transfer tokens to VMU)
      --> *Buy (Tokens) - Cost is 100 
      --> Turn into money (Tokens) - You get 50 in exchange for your token

(*) marked is what you need to play the game.  First choose Buy, then Take Out
to transfer tokens to the game. Use Transmit Income to transfer your winnings 
or what's left if you lost back into the game.  Then turn your tokens back 
into money for a very bad exchange rate.  But you can win very big from
the slot machine regardless of the exchange rate.  Your best bet is to get 
a Yogurt in the 1st position to break even.  A second one will get you 3
times your bet and a third will get you 10 times your bet!  Your max bet
is 3.  So are you ready to gamble?

*************Yutakana Jinsei Pack (The Rich Life Collection) - 112 Blocks needed

This contains some nice little programs to personalize your VMU.  There are 3
programs contained in the "Pack". 

**** Climax Edit **** 
This little program allows you to create animation (with 8 frames) and personize
your VMU with the creation of your own icon.  The image can also be displayed 
in your game as a picture in your collection warehouse.  Check the fifth option
in the VMU menu to transmit the pictures.  Note that the first save file will 
the one that is saved as your Picture Frame/Icon.

(check the main VMU section for the full menu.  Located in the main game.)

Climax Edit (used with Yutakana Jinsei Pakku mini-game)  
                                                     --> Picture Frame
                                                     --> Icon (2 blocks needed)

Main VMU Menu

Edit (A button to draw a point.  B to erase a point.  You can also hold down a 
      button and use the directional pad.  This is the only place you will need
      to hit the mode button to exit the program.) 

File -> Load (limit of 8 files) - This is so you can edit the image
        Save - Select a file location and save current image.           
        Copy - Pick a file to copy and then pick a location to save.
        Sound -> On

**** Blazing Phone Directory (Honou No Denwachou) ****

This is basically your own personal phone directory.  When you first use the 
program, it will ask to enter your profile.  This is used to transfer your 
information to other friends VMU.  The data entry is different from the save
in the Climax Edit.  On the first row, second entry to the right is where you
select the text type.  Keep hitting the A button to cycle through the choices.
It will always display the next set of characters to choose from.  Next choose
a character.  You will notice that not all the character will be available. To
get access to other characters, you must keep hitting the A button. For example,
if you are using the English character set, move your cursor to the "D" and hit
the A button to get "E", and again to get "F".  Hit the A button one more time
will get "d", then "e" and then "f".  If directional pad is hit, the cursor will
automatically increment a space.  Hitting B will backspace or erase current 
character entry if not yet accepted.  You will be requested to enter you name, 
then phone number, your birthday (YY/MM/DD), your blood type and then a memo.  
You will then get an options menu.

*************Yogurt no DaiBouKen (Yogurt's Great Adventure) - 108 Blocks needed

This is an odd little game.  You must wait until your friendship meter increases 
and then you can control Yogurt....sort of.

At the start you have two choices, What's Yogurt and Yogurt's Mansion.
What's Yogurt has two choices "Going on an Errand" and "Treasure Hunt"  You need
to get Yogurt to go into the 4 buildings in "Going on an Errand" and in "Treasure Hunt" you need Yogurt to find the treasure from one of the 10
locations.  You will either get a bone or a treasure.  If you find a treasure
the games ends.  Yogurt on the map is a / or \ and the "goals" are _| or |-.
The max the friendship meter can reach is 30 and once you have control over
Yogurt, you can only hope that he will go in the building or dig up a treasure.
Once your friendship meter goes to 0 you will lose control over Yogurt.  Also,
once your action meter (located on the bottom left hand side of the screen)
reaches 0 your game will be over.  

Yogurt's Mansion contains a 10 room mansion.  Each door has a Yogurt in a room 
doing different things.  Only the 1st room is available.  Later, other rooms
will have Yogurts after you play the quest part of the game.
