Marble Cooking

Home of the Underdogs has given a very good description of this unique game, which I will quote here at length:

The fun of Marble Cooking lies in a very novel gameplay. Your character appears in a grid similar to a chessboard, and you can only move vertically or horizontally on floor tiles. The enemies you must destroy float around the board, each following a fixed patrol pattern that you must discover. If you run into one of these baddies, you die. To destroy them, you must first press Z button to put a pentagram on the tile you're standing on. You can then move away from the pentagram, laying carrots (this is done automatically) on every tile you step on. Press Z again to stop laying carrots. Then, pressing Z once again calls forth your sidekick, a magical rabbit, from the pentagram. The rabbit will follow the carrot trail you lay out earlier, killing any enemy he runs into along the way. The trick, then, is to lay the carrots and time it so that your rabbit will kill all the enemies in one go. This is much harder than it sounds, especially since the rabbit will disappear (along with the carrots) once he runs to the end of the carrot trail. Fortunately, the game is quite forgiving, as there is no time limit, you can lay carrots for as many times as you want, and the enemies never diverge from their pattern.

As much as I am a fan of any kind of erotic entertainment, here I almost regret that Marble Cooking is hentai. For with its cute graphics and challenging, but not too demanding gameplay it would otherwise make a great game for kids.

Marble Cooking was available for the NEC PC98, and for the IBM PC. The PC98 version was translated by Ryo-Cokey's Hentai Game Translations, the patch is available on Romhacking.net. There is no translation patch for the PC version, which uses OMX compressed text files. So you have to choose between an untranslated version that will run on most computers, and a translated version that needs an emulator to run. Of course, being a puzzle game, Marble Cooking does not have all that much text, it's mainly restricted to the intro.
