'''''Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom''''' is an obscure 1984 [[Adventure Game]] by [[Hudson Soft]], originally released for certain Japanese home computers and later ported to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and the Famicom. It stars Sir Cucumber, a knight of King Broccoli, whose kingdom has been usurped by the evil Minister Pumpkin and his cruel farmies. The king charges Sir Cucumber to [[Save the Princess|rescue Princess Tomato]] and regain the turnip emblem, [[Standard Hero Reward|promising her hand as his reward.]]
Gameplay alternated between a puzzle Point-and-Click interface, a few mazes, and "battle" sequences that are actually games of [[Rock-Paper-Scissors]]. Although a few sequences can leave the player stumped, it's impossible to make the game [[Unwinnable]] and only one round of [[Rock-Paper-Scissors]] actually has negative consequences for losing. Obscure, quirky, and a bit short, the game's nothing if not unique.
