comment |
A Gaiden Game spin-off of the Lunar series, Lunar: Walking School was released for the Game Gear, Sega's handheld system, in 1996. It serves as a Prequel, set about 300 years before the events of the first game, and focuses on two young girls named Ellie and Lena who are scouted to attend the Magic School of Iyen Island, and their various misadventures there. With its episodic approach to storytelling and its mild Tone Shift in the Lighter and Softer direction, it has similar feel to a children's cartoon.In 1998, Lunar: Walking School was remade for the Sega Saturn under the title Magic School Lunar! (and the punctuation is part of the title.) This version extensively expands upon the original game, with overhauled visuals and music, extra playable characters, and the addition of voice acting. Many gameplay systems are redone to be more in line with the main games, and while the plot outline is the same, some events are completely removed with new ones taking their places. |

All Men Are Perverts |
| | Lunar: Walking School (Video Game) / int_129749df |
comment |
All Men Are Perverts: One of the first things the male students do is band together to steal all of the girls' food and laundry, based on the notion that this will keep them from 'overeating' and force them to wash their remaining clothes in the buff. This plot point is notably absent from the Saturn version. |

comment |
Secret Test: When they first arrive, the students are put through one as an entrance exam, where the island appears to be uninhabited. This leads directly to the boys banding together to steal the girls' food and extra clothing, without suffering any punishment from the teachers after The Reveal. Notably removed from the Updated Re-release. |

Translation Convention: A meta example - the Japanese title of the Game Gear version, Lunar: Sanposuru Gakuen, would be more accurately (and arguably more evocatively) translated as Lunar: Strolling School. But since a higher-profile game in the series is frequently abbreviated "L:SSS", referring to this one as "L:SS" would cause confusion. |
