KiSS originated in Japan, and its name comes from the phrase kisekae ningyou, which loosely translates to "clothes changing game". It was originally developed in 1991 for a NEC computer, but since then the specification has been formalised (and broadened, to allow for more capable hardware). This is known as the KiSS General Specification (KiSS/GS), and is available on The Big KiSS Page, maintained by Dov Sherman.

Since its introduction it has been ported to a number of operating systems & platforms; this page includes player software for RISC OS, including RISC OS 5 [Iyonix OK]


This site was originally intended as a sort of Home Page for !PlayKISS, my KiSS player for RISC OS. Since it was first put up, I've been contacted by authors of other KiSS programs for RISC OS, and with their permission their programs have also been put up on this site.
