Tokimeki Memorial is a dating sim by Konami and the first game in the Tokimeki Memorial series.

The first game in the series is particularly notable for its "bomb" feature, where neglected, infrequently-dated girls would eventually become angry and gossip to their friends, severely reducing love meters across the board. In the middle of the game, when the number of known girls was high, these "bombs" became the primary concern of the player, forcing careful planning and strategies like round-robin dating. Although the feature was still present in the later games, it was considerably reduced in importance and the difficulty in avoiding it.

Tokimeki Memorial was first released for the PC Engine on May 27, 1994. It was remade as Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You on the PlayStation (1995), Sega Saturn (1996) and PC (1997) with a new opening video, improved graphics and sound, and new minigames.

CHARACTERS:
- Shiori Fujisaki : Voiced by: Mami Kingetsu
The player's childhood friend. Once you two were really good friends, but you seemed to have drifted apart. Both intelligent and beautiful, Shiori is cute and popular. To win her heart, the player needs very good stats all-around. She is never seen without her trademark yellow headband. Shiori is one of the first three phone numbers the player obtains early in the game.

- Saki Nijino: Voiced by: Sachiko Sugawara
Manager of the school's soccer/baseball team (it varies).

- Ayako Katagiri: Voiced by: Masayo Kawaguchi
An art student who has a habit of using English in everyday speech. She is deathly afraid of water.

- Yuko Asahina: Voiced by: Yoko Teppouzuka
A cheerful girl who's very active and sociable. She does poorly in school, though. She is often seen with her childhood friend, Yoshio Saotome.

- Yukari Koshiki: Voiced by: Ayako Kurosaki
A polite, soft-spoken girl who's the daughter of a wealthy family.

- Mio Kisaragi: Voiced by: Akiko Sekine
A shy librarian almost never seen without her glasses on.

- Yuina Himoo: Voiced by: Tomoko Naka
A mad scientist of sorts of the school. She is terrified of koalas.

- Mira Kagami: Voiced by: Rei Igarashi
A beautiful girl with the looks of a model and a fan club, though she is conceited and hard to talk to.

- Nozomi Kiyokawa: Voiced by: Ayako Sasaki
A tomboyish girl who loves swimming, as well as flowers.

- Megumi Mikihara: Voiced by: Mikiko Kurihara
Shiori's best friend. She is very shy and soft-spoken.

- Yumi Saotome: Voiced by: YOSHIKIKURIN
Yoshio's little sister, Yumi is energetic and playful. She enters Kirameki High during the player's second year.

- Miharu Tatebayashi: Voiced by: Shiho Kikuchi
A hidden girl who seen now and again, but can't officially date in the game. She loves koalas quite a bit.

- Yoshio Saotome: Voiced by: Yuji Ueda
Often seen around school usually with other girls, Yoshio provides the player with information on the available girls, including their phone numbers, blood type, and various things they like earning him the nickname "Info Otaku". Yoshio's phone number is one of the three phone numbers you receive in the beginning of the game. If certain conditions are met, Yoshio will become a rival to the player at the end of the third year, attempting to win the heart of one of the girls. The girl he ends up with are limited only to those the player has met and will depend on the player's own success with the girl he has chosen; however, he does not directly fight for any girl the player has chosen. In the spin-off gameTokimeki no Houkago ~Ne Quiz Shiyo~, Yoshio is a winnable character although the player does not actually end up with him; instead, the player and Yoshio make a pact to both find girlfriends. This makes him the only male character (prior to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side, in which the main objective to end up with are male characters) where the main character can end up with him.

- Rei Ijuin: Voiced by: Narumi Tsunoda
The most popular guy in the school, Rei is the oldest child of a rich and powerful family who makes countless products. However, he has a huge secret he can't reveal to anyone. His little sister, Mei, is a datable girl in Tokimeki Memorial 2. Rei's phone number is one of the first three numbers the player obtains early in the game.

DRAMA SERIES VOL.1 - NIJIIRO NO SEISHUN:
This is not the second sequel to the game Tokimeki Memorial but this game is actually a "drama series" on 1 character in the game Tokimeki Memorial. The main character of this game is the second most popular girl Saki Nijino.

The story behind the game is about a transfer student (that would be you) who joins a soccer team. He encounters this girl who laters turns out to be the manager of the soccer team. Her name is Saki Nijino.

It seemed that everything to be going fine when all of a sudden, the coach picks the starters for the team. You got very confident in yourself that you thought he would pick you. Yet, the coach only saw you as a beginner and you were not picked to be one of the starters.

This begins your relationship with Saki Nijino and also you start to get to know her friend, the first year manager (she is a new character but i don't know how to pronounce her name). Your relationship grows and grows with Saki because you train yourself infront of your house everynight with her helping you out.

The training is a mini-game. You have to kick the soccer ball into the goal: Have to learn how to curve the ball through boxes, dummies, garbage Cans. And as you progress through the training, the difficulty level gets harder.
