Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom (titled Salad no Kuni no Tomato Hime in Japan) is a video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990 by Hudson Soft. Its characters are primarily cartoonish anthropomorphic vegetables.

[edit] Plot

Despite a simple and rather cliché premise (a knight must rescue a captured princess and restore order to the kingdom), its plot is fairly complex by 8-bit console gaming standards. Taking the role of Sir Cucumber, a knight, the player must defeat the evil Minister Pumpkin who has kidnapped Princess Tomato. Early on, Sir Cucumber gains a sidekick, Percy the baby persimmon, who offers advice and helps throughout the quest.

[edit] Gameplay

Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom plays similarly to a text adventure, though due to the NES' lack of a keyboard accessory, the possible commands are represented by buttons which line the sides of the screen. Possible commands are MOVE, LOOK, CHECK (used to examine things), TALK, TAKE, USE, GIVE, BUY, HIT, FIGHT (to challenge enemies to rock, paper, scissors), PRAISE (for flattery), DUMP (for getting rid of inventory items), ITEM, and PERCY (to get help from the sidekick character).
