From the KISS FAQ (Nov 94)...

WHAT IS KISS? WHAT IS "KISEKAE"?

  Kisekae is Japanese for "changing clothes". It's a popular play for
little girls. They are given "kisekae ningyou (dolls for changing
clothes)" and play changing clothes of the dolls. And, girls' manga
magazines sometimes provide paper dolls and clothes for kisekae.

  Kiss (KISekae Set system) simulates kisekae with paper dolls on your
computer. The Kiss system consists of a Kiss program and Kiss data. A
Kiss data is the set of pictures. The Kiss program displays the
character with several clothes (dress, shirt, socks, shoes, hat etc)
and allows you to changing the clothes by manipulating them.

WHAT FILES DO I NEED? HOW CAN I GET KISS DATA?

  To play with Kiss you need a Kiss program and Kiss data. Kiss
programs are so far available for the following platforms:

file name       platform                conformance(*)
---------       --------                --------------
KISS237 .LZH    NEC PC-9801             KISS/GS3?
KISS68D .LZH    Sharp X68000            KISS/GS1?
KSTW237 .LZH    Fujitsu FM-TOWNS        KISS/GS3?
KIS237_5.LZH    PC/AT PC-DOS, DOS/V     KISS/GS3
WKISS056.LZH    Microsoft Windows 3.1   KISS/GS4?
KissMac4.LZH    Macintosh               KISS/GS3?
xkis200c.tar.gz X11R4 or later          KISS/GS4
AmiKiss11.lha   AmigaDOS                KISS/GS1?
kissv224.lzh    PC
kisw020f.lzh    Windows 3.1

(*) Description about KISS/GS is not done yet.

  Choose an appropriate one for your computer.
  The older version of Kiss for DOS/V did not work on plain PC-DOS
(MS-DOS) and you needed a TSR named "japanit" unless you have DOS/V.
The latest version, however, should work well not only on DOS/V but on
plain DOS. (N.B. It needs over-256-color video card and VESA SVGA
BIOS.)

  Any other files except above are probably Kiss data files. They
often contain such a string like "KISS" or "KS" in their file name.
  Kiss programs and data can be obtained from the following places:
