Still makes me smirk every time.

"PETER PAN! "
"BRUCE WAYNE! "
"GATTAI! "

So nobody knows?

Was it always owned by Himeya or were they eaten by them?

Kept searching. Their last game was in 2007, and it was published by another company that appears to do something entirely different nowadays.
----

Runaway City... I remember there being some really weird conditions in order to get a good ending in this game. Ah, good ol' Look/Think/Move options, I miss you not.

>Look/Think/Move options, I miss you not.
But i do. Games were better back then, not full of moe and all that other shit.

>>4767273
While I agree on the moe thing, it was a chore to make the plot advance when you had to click so many flags just to make the plot advance.

Then again, there were games that had zero plot, so I guess it was needed in order to provide a sense of interactivity.

Can this thread just be Yuka now?

I had forgotten how much I loved these old games.

Gotta make a partition, install Win95 and play them ALL OVER AGAIN.

Thank you, Nostalgia!

>>4767308
For games like runawaycity or season of sakura it was just click click, girl, click, next girl.
Even today it still hasn't lost it's charme. But there are games like Desire and Eve burst error where you had to click everything in an order until you got it. I still like it better than the choice system that we get today.
Plus, pixel fapping is hot.

>>4767320

Yes

>>4767320
As much as a PC98 character as she is, she has no place in this thread, unless you want to talk about PC98 games.

JAST Memorial does not want to run on Vista.
Same with Tokimeki Check-in, it just lags as fuck.

Pretty depressing.

>>4767424
Use a virtual machine?

Nothing will ever be able to surpass Seasons of Sakura in my mind. Its influence over me is just too strong.

>>4767457
I think my distaste for sluts started with this game...

>>4767469

Is that girl a slut?

How about PC98 era games? Any of you played them?

>>4767650
No. See her dislikes?

The girl named Shoko was this game's slut. Hostility between these two was very high.

>>4767701
Fascinating.

>>4767712
It is.

>>4767701

I see, I see, so I guess Reiko is a good girl. That's good.

I'm interested in this game now. Do you suggest I torrent it? How large is the filesize?

Immoral Studies 1. My first animated game.

Better than School Days.

>>4767781
Well, it used to be only 5mb big back then, but DOS no longer works. I suggest you get the Jast Memorial torrent. It should be on pirate bay.

It doesn't work on Vista, or so I was told.

>>4767815
>>It doesn't work on Vista, or so I was told.

NOOOOOO

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHYYYYYYY!?!? WHY, GOD, WHY!? IT LOOKED SO INTERESTING, TOO!

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Can't Vista run programs in Windows 95 Compatibility mode?

>>4767894

also, DOSBOX?

>>4767862
Get the DOS version of the game, then get DOsbox to play it. It is what I do.

>>4767908
>>4767904
I've encountered problems with DOSBox on my laptop. The keycodes are apparently different on my laptop than on my desktop, and when I tried to use DOSBox on it a while back I discovered that various keys gave the wrong result, and some keys wouldn't do anything (backslash and forwardslash, and possibly some others, like the Enter key). I was never able to figure out how to fix that.

Be-yond

Awaken to be the Dark Overlord of Space, the Devil himself. But you are actually a nice guy.
Get mistakenly teleported to the main ship of the enormous fleet desperately trying to take you down, right between the Admiral's legs.
Get the admiral demoted to third rate cop in some god forsaken backwater asteroid. Make her life miserable and screw her brains out. Plot happens.

Happy End!

The keycodes are apparently different on my laptop than on my desktop, and when I tried to use DOSBox on it a while back I discovered that various keys gave the wrong result, and some keys wouldn't do anything (for example, backslash was mapped to the close-bracket key, and either there was no mapping for close-bracket or it was mapped to the open-bracket key and that one wasn't mapped). I tried fixing that using the keymapper, but it didn't work, and it didn't seem to be a driver problem either.

>>4767987
Do you use multiple languages and IMEs? Might be a cause.

Gloria was the first eroge I played, a few years ago. Shit was SO GOOD.

Then I played Tokimeki Check In and cried in disgust.

I'd kill to be able to play these games now, but alas, I have Vista...

Nocturnal Illusion

Get lost in the woods.
Wake up in a mansion separated from the outside world getting sexual healing.
Screw the mistress of the house.
Screw the maid.
Screw the guests.
Screw a mermaid.
Screw a vampire.
Screw Little Red Riding Hood.
Choose your Waifu end.

The best DOS era eroge.

Sentimental Shooting, or Shoot the Clothes Off a Girl while an Army of Ships Desperately tries to Fend You Off Danmaku Game.

>>4768028
It seems to be a moot point anyway, because I hadn't reinstalled DOSBox and checked after I installed a new OS on my laptop, and when I did it just now it worked fine. I guess it was a problem with my previous OS or something.

>>4768062
it was the first eroge I ever played

>>4768139
I don't remember if it was THE first, but I know that it was one of the first ones I played.

Yeah C'S Ware is been dead for a while. Last I heard they are owned by he company with Himeya, but have no plans on developing anything else. Not sure how much of it is true. Such a shame, I loved quite a few of their games, Divi-Dead, EVE, Desire.

>Such a shame, I loved quite a few of their games, Divi-Dead, EVE, Desire.

Same here. It puzzles me how such a good company just went and disappeared.

>>4768107

That game had surprisingly awesome music.

>>4768062
I loved that game. Feels like it has been ages since i first played it. Along with all the other few mb games.
>Screw a vampire.
Sari was the best, probably the first girl from such games that i really liked.

>>4768227
I liked the really active redhead the best.

>>4768277
IIRC, she had no real H scene, unless Jast censored that bit out as well.

>>4768313

She gives a blowjob but doesn't give sex as she's technically a child.

Anyway while I enjoyed Nocturnal Illusion I will never enjoy the system for exploring the game. I once got stuck at one point in the game because to proceed I had to attempt to enter a room I knew I couldn't get into twice in succession. Only by accident did I ever work out how to get past that.

Also the version I had didn't have any scenes for Little Red Riding hood and that blond girl who was a doll or some shit, the game would continue but no images just text.

>>4768352
I would tell you to get the patch, but the geocities site where it was hosted died last year because yahoo decided to cut the line.

>>4768440
I remember that patch

>>4768440
The guy who made it was on /jp/ and worked on another one for FP.
Wonder what happened with that.

>>4768473
His site died, but some dude was kind enough to make a mirror out of the goodness in his heart.

Sorry for my poor English.

C's ware was a brand of Himeya Soft. They debuted in 1993 with "Kindan no Ketsuzoku".
They became popular by one creator, Yukihiro Kenno. His works, especially "Desire"(1994) and "EVE burst error"(1995), are still regarded as legendary VN.
But after "EVE burst error" Kenno went to Elf. (And there he created YU-NO, famed as one of the best thing in the history of VN.)

C's ware started to die slowly.
They released some well-done games, such as "Gloria"(1996), "Divi-dead"(1998) or "luv wave"(1998), but they couldn't satisfy their customers, who expected masterpieces like Kenno's.
Besides, their products often had serious bugs, so they were called "Bug ware".
Those things made their customers disappointed, and that brand finally disappeared. Their last game was released in 2003.

Now Himeya Soft is a small web-business company, so aren't developing any VN.
And of course, they are familiar to overseas otakus by Himeya Shop.

>>4768641
Ah, thank you for your insight, friend. I feared something like that happened to them.

>Yukihiro Kenno
Seems like this man just arrives t a company, turns it into gold, then leaves to let them rot slowly. Elf is not doing good anymore, living off on past glories.

Where is the maid?

>>4768641
Always good to hear this kind of thing from a japfriend (assuming you ARE a japfriend). Any idea where Kenno is now?

Also, I needs me some EVE and Nocturnal Illusion for Vista. Help plox.

>>4768833
NI was supposed to still run well on Vista.

>>4768980
orly? And what's this of a patch I hear? Cause it would suck to play a censored version. I mean, even all they did with Gloria was change the ages of the girls, not actually cut content.

>>4768980
Two loli girls h scenes were removed entirely. And some parts of the plot for one.

>>4768998
They removed CGs for two characters that were underage. I remember it broke my copy and it would repeat the text 4 times before going to the next line when it got to one of the removed CGs. It's honestly pretty minor.

>>4768833
Now Kenno is the president of Abel.
http://www.abelsoftware-jp.com/
He mainly uses his real name Hiroyuki Kanno at present, so we should remember both names.

Actually, "YU-NO" was his only work at Elf.
He resigned Elf at the release day of "YU-NO Sega Saturn version", 4 Dec 1997, and founded Abel soon.

This is his twitter account.
http://twitter.com/YukihiroKenno

>>4769118
Ah, I see. Just remembered that Doukyuusei is older than Yu-No, so he mustn't have worked on it.

Elf also had another awesome writer, but they lost him too.

Ok, sending moot a mail begging him for a word filter. Or something.

Anybody here played May Club? It is rarely mentioned.

Any other old games?

I remember playing a game named Knights of Xentar on DOS. Was fun, but hard.

>>4769725
Uh... I don't know how good it is, but the Words Worth game might be worth checking out. Dunno if it's a DOS game or if it's for Windows, though.

Mad Paradox?

And damn the very idea of needing to sacrifice virgin beautiful girls in order to create a holy sword. Makes no sense that a sword used to destroy evil warrants the death of a good aligned creature</tg>

>>4769403

Of course I played it. It is comparable to True Love. (Though these days I'm not fond of the concept of "random meetings" that these relied heavily on)

>>4776853
Old DOS games were all about random meetings.

Hell, even Tokimeki Memorial is based on them. One time it got so bad that a girl appeared well until the second year.
