Bootleg

lain Bootleg is a two-CD box set consisting of a 45-track music CD and a data CD. The data CD includes two screensavers, various wallpaper images, Quicktime movies, sound files, MP3s, and a mini-game.

[If you have the data CD and want to install it, you might need to use the installer provided on Pioneer's website]

Mini-game walkthrough and screenshots

After you install the mini-game, opening the lain launcher gives you this neat little clock for your desktop.

If you click on the purple bar underneath the time, you can access another menu.

Clicking on the minute hand brings you to "lain kuma shoot".

Guide to the shooting game:

Clicking on lain shows you your score.

By clicking on the middle button on the menu, you activate the "lain dress up" game. The number of points you accumulate on "lain kuma shoot" determines what outfits you get for the dress up game. Here's what it looks like when you've gotten the max number of points.

Click the clothing and drag it onto Lain. When you leave the dress up game, Lain walks off in whatever she's wearing.

Drag the screwdriver onto Lain's hand and let go. If you place it properly, Lain will end up holding the screwdriver. Leave the dress up game and go to "kuma shoot". Eventually, a different Lain will appear that causes an explosion. During the explosion, the point values of all characters are multiplied by 10. (Thanks to meznu for clueing me in on this part of the game)

By clicking on the blue button of the menu, you activate the "lain theatre" game. Toggle between several locations by clicking on the purple bar and then click on the location you want. You are treated to a special animation if Lain is wearing the appropriate article of clothing for the given location. Otherwise, she'll just walk past the location.

When Lain is wearing her school uniform, have her go to school.

When Lain is wearing her street clothes, have her go to Cyberia.

When Lain is wearing her kuma pajamas, have her go to her darkened room.

When Lain is wearing her school uniform and holding her pocket navi, have her go to the steps at school.

If you drag the UFO onto Lain, she turns into "glain" (grey lain). Have her zoom on over to Alice's place.

When Lain is wearing the oversized sweatshirt, have her go out to the street.

Also, at 2000 or more points, the final location becomes available to you. Select the bridge to see the game's ending. Warning: if you select this, your point total will reset back to zero, although it's really easy to get it to 2000 again (see above).

Songs on the Bootleg data CD

There are 57 MP3s on the data CD. Those are the same 45 songs found on the Bootleg music CD (but several of the tracks on the data CD are significantly longer) plus 12 extra songs. Perhaps this was a secret freebie for those fans who bought Bootleg?
