As if that's only a thing young people do. Have you forgotten where you are?

The whole point of romance games is to fall in love with the characters.

Obviously stuff like EVE aren't romance-focused, but anyway.

no

>>12623573
I'm asking specifically when you guys were younger. First time.

>>12623577
My first love was Suzuki Miho in Doukyuusei.
The first version I played was the Saturn version, and Tange Sakura's voice was great. It also made me a Tange Sakura fan.

Normally I would just not take the characters seriously, but Kud was just about the perfect girl for me.

I still think about her sometimes.

ehh

in middle school i played through like, private nurse and a couple other dumb ones, i didn't have a crush on any of the characters though.
maybe if i hadn't been too scared to play kana i'd have a real answer for you. i'm glad i didn't though kana would have been way too strong for middle school me

I wasn't ready.

Miki... I also had a crush on Shiho from ToHeart.

•Put it in

Naru Narusegawa from Love Hina Advance.

>>12624274
That game was fucking shitty and the pace too fast, how could you even fall in love with a story this rushed?

my eroge crush came really late.

Yeah.

>>12624374
This year is the 20th anniversary.
Did you replay for old times' sake?

Sakura from Lovers ~Koi ni Ochitara~

And that doesn't really count, but my first crush was the fairy queen from Crystal Shards. I still have a fetish for glasses, braids and freckles thanks to her.

I gained a crush on poyoyon's art rather than a character.

damn, all the oldfags are on today.

best thread in months

>>12624479
Shit, I still have that backlogged.
Everybody always said how good Love Escalator was so I was looking forward to it but somehow ended up shelving it and never getting back
I swear I'll play it some day.

>>12623536
yeah your mom in slut training seaon 3 it was a great VN

>>12624495
not gaining a crush for AI, did you even play popotan?

My first VN, to think of it, I think I like all 3 (and the sister, and the teacher).

That goddamn true end though, fucking Angel Smiles.

Mein Neger

Sparked my love of moody, chain-smoking women.

>>12625521
Woman before me sensei was very attractive. But I fell in love with Sayless more than anyone.

>>12623536
No, when I was young and could still feel emotions eroge wa absolutely unknown outside nipland

>>12625531
>filename

can't unsee

What's the name of that white haired girl from babby's first VN who kill herself if you don't do her route?

How much younger? I got pretty badly infatuated with Saber when I played FSN five years ago. I felt really bad for over a week after I finished the Fate storyline.

absolutely

even i don't what are they saying back in ps1

>>12624406
Yes. Still remember every scene as if it were yesterday.

>>12625605

aeka?

Still do. Ignis and her.

>>12627748
I think that was my first eroge too. God, I think /jp/ is all over 30

>>12627931
wow wat a qt

Does being in my early twenties count as "younger" now that I'm in my late twenties?

I have a crush on someone I met on the internet, does that count?

Mayumi in True Love, mainly because you can sleep with her twice in the game.

>>12623592
You must be one of the oldest people here then.

And this was mine.

>>12628375
>Have to click on the window
I love how the backgrounds in those games felt like an actual world you were in and not just decoration to fill space behind the standing characters.
All those of things you can click on to get flavor text, and also the way they'd sometimes overlay unique small character illustrations onto the background in the distance, like Sakurako in the window or Satomi on the swing, giving the locations a feeling of actually being real things the characters exist in.

>>12625662
Oh man me too. I couldn't think about anything but Saber for a long time after that.

Before you judge me too harshly please understand I have a huge thing for unstable druggies.

>>12628500
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. When Ryuunosuke called to her, and she turned to look at the MC, I was in a state of awe and delight to the detail. I will always remember this scene. And when she is outside her room, with the snow falling... ah, it still makes my heart ache.

Music was great too.

And arrangement of the theme I am talking about, but it will have to suffice.

>>12623536
If streets of rage qualifies as an eroge, then yes.
Axel...

>>12628693
I think that's the very first woman I saw in a video game. Shaq Fu doesn't count, it was a catgirl.

And damn that muic sounded even better in my memories.

>>12628701
I spent many hours playing with a cousin that game. I always played with Axel.

She was not the first lady I saw in a video game though. It was King in the first AOF. I was surprised and felt a little bad about the whole thing too.

>>12628733
Never played AOF. But I played a lot of Shaq Fu and I loved that game.

>>12628735
Wasn't that game infamous for being really, really bad?

>>12628739
When you have only two games on your very first console, you don't care about things like that.

>>12628739

>>12628764
I always get confused with which of the brothers they are supposed to be.

>>12628593
I made a video of the music box for some other thread long ago:

Already been five years since then. Time flies.

>>12628015
That she is.

>>12628936
You cannot possibly fathom how envious I am. Nice to see how it is functional despite all these years.

Take good care of it.

>>12628739
So bad it's good.

Not really, it was awful

As if I even know what VN's were back then.

>>12631483
This website is 18+.

>>12632142
What of it? Are you making fun of my s/know/knew typo?

>>12632232
No, he means that you may be too young to be browsing jaypee.

The thing I liked most about the older games is that the female characters were real women, not generic moeblobs.

>>12632382
But they're still cartoons, you weeb.

>>12632382
Anon, generic moeblobs have been around since the greeks. What you mean is that there were an equal amount of serious characters vs moeblobs than we have today.

It is all for the exclusive reason to cash in as much money as possible with the least effort.

>>12632382
My first eroge had an "unvirgin" heroine, but today something like that would spark bad reaction from the buyers and bad rep, which is why it's almost avoided entirely, except in nukige. You rarely see heroines with sexual experience in your average plot/chara games anymore. Kinda ridiculous how even prostitutes are virgin in eroge.

I'm actually wondering how much of 2D virgin fanaticism is a forced 2ch meme and how much of it is real.

Had a little crush on Yukari in Tokimeki Memorial. A slow-paced rich girl.

Also, Mio in Season of the Sakura.

>>12624636

Is this worth playing? I've been eying it for a while now.

Played this first, followed by Nocturnal Illusion. That fucking shed in NI.
