/jp/ - Otaku Culture

He didn't mention Three Sister's Story or True Love.

What's wrong with him?

Eroges like Maid's story don't exist anymore.
Also, my baby's first VN: Ring Out!

I've played Divi-Dead and Eve: Burst Error.
I wasn't particularly impressed by either of them.

Besides...
>Eve: Burst Error:
>eroge

Did I miss something?

I remember playing Love Potion (Etsuraku no Gakuen) long before I knew what eroge were and being pissed off that Kyouko didn't have a proper h-scene.

Would never have guessed that I would see her again years later in Eve Burst Error... except she still didn't have a proper h-scene because the translated version doesn't have porn.

>>7776030
My bad.

Missing Nocturnal Illusion there

>>7776033
The very first PC98 release had eroscenes.

So what should I be expecting from this?

The old "interactive adventure game" format, with a sort-of parser that had commands like LOOK and TALK, vanished some time in the 90s. I dunno if anyone wants it back. It can probably be done well...

Also, I think stat-driven sims used to be common. A few are still being made in Japanese and in English. But I suspect there were more back in the 90s.

>>7776698
It is the fapping material of the ancients, young one. You should expect Edgar Alan Poe, assorted quotes of wisdom and cock sucking in equal amounts.

>>7776773
>I dunno if anyone wants it back
No thanks. My wrist and hand like not feeling like those of a 90 year old man with severe arthritis and carpal tunnel.

Not translated but i found Escalation - Hard Corehhttp://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6577607/_Escalation_Hardcore

I remember not playing Gloria because the file was too big. Good times...

>>7776204
Does the translated version have the ero scenes? also is there a windows 95 emulator i could use to play these games?

>>7776827
Translated version is non-ero.
>>7776827
DESIRE,Eve and Divi dead should work fine on windows.

Note: Most downloads for Dividead are missing the sound files. So watch out

>>7776827
Dividead? Yes, it has porn. I ran Dividead without problems recently, though I do not know if i works on Vista.

Some older C'sWare games cannot work on WinXP and beyond though. You will need a Win98 emulator.

>>7776848
Well i tired installing Escalation - Hard Core, and it wouldn't come up, i have windows 7.
>>7776858
Can i boot Escalation - Hard Core in a Win98 emulator? I have the disc image.

>>7776865
Try this

>>7776882
Im using the disc image, the installation would even start. if i could just find the game in a folder that might work.

Season of Sakura.

I was in love with that game.

My favorite is 3 sister's story. I like how the protagonist is actually competent.

>>7776773
>The old "interactive adventure game" format, with a sort-of parser that had commands like LOOK and TALK, vanished some time in the 90s.
Chain had that system and it was released in the 2000s.
But yeah, I don't think anyone really wants those systems back. It's practically false gameplay since there's only one way to advance the scene.

>>7776938
Despite being a clickaton, I remember it fondly.

I shall also throw in that True Love, despite being very outdated and not so good graphics was very fun. Play May Club too while you are at it.

Where the dating sims at?

>>7776952
>>7776773
So why did japan stop making them? the Japanese just didn't like them all of a sudden?

>>7776976
Since these are old games, try infoseek, I hear they have not updated their search engine in decades.

>>7776956
Ah May Club, I remember that game.
I wonder if anyone remembers the website that hosts the uncensor patch for that game? It was on geocities.

I remember it having nocturnal illusion uncensor patch too.

>>7776773
I would at least appreciate seeing a late 2000's style dating sim and see how they can innovate that approach.

>>7776997
>I wonder if anyone remembers the website that hosts the uncensor patch for that game? It was on geocities.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

I knew I was forgetting something when I was trying to backup my favorite sites. Now it is lost forever. Fuck.

>>7777000
Love Plus?

>>7776997
>>7777021
Please, stop.
Just look on vndb.

Can some one tell me what he hell happen at the end of DESIRE true ending? Time loop mindfuck?

There is no way i'm gonna replaying a clickfest ADV game that i already played 10 years ago.

>>7776055
There's a yaoi ending isn't it? Or is it True Love?

>>7777121
>that i already played 10 years ago.
Do you think I remember the story of a VN I read ten years ago?

>>7777130

i was asking about the ending, not the whole game.

>>7777139
I'm sure there is a video on youtube or something.

>>7777127
Castle Fantasia?

>>7777147
"This release has CD audio music and voice acting for all text spoken by the characters in-game.

Half of the original games CG's are re-drawn in higher resolution while the other half is omitted.

Yaoi omake ending is removed and a happy ending is added for one of the heroines."
;_;

If anyone wants to play divi dead without downloading it again or if you dont want to go through the hassle.
http://dividead.tales-tra.com/play/
works like a charm.

>>7777223
Oh shit. That's pretty cool.

Downloaded Nocturnal illusion and it doesn't work in compatibility mode.

Tried using the Vile patch and it can't find the original english installer...

And tips?

Bumping thread before I go to bed..

>>7777223
Lol thanks, replaying it now for old time sake

>>7777407
Virtual Machine

>>7777147
Considering how E-go has a BL section, I am not surprised that they also add yaoi content on your average eroges.

>>7777223

Neat. I've never been able to get it working since I first played it back on Windows 98, and that didn't have the voices.
Cheers.

>>7776858
I finished Dividead on Win7 without using any compatibility function, so it might just work on Vista.

If you need to, set compatibility to Win98 and tick pretty much all those "Disable..." boxes. It might just work, who knows.

bump for classic vn's

Do the random quotes in Nocturnal Illusion have any meaning?

How come no one's mentioned the Dragon Knights series? I loved those back in the day.

http://vndb.org/v2385

>>7782834
Because most people here rely on translations.

Maybe that dude who played these games on DOS
will post here.

Does anyone have the other games translated by the group that did Wordsworth, or have they completely disappeared into the ether?

>>7782921
No luck finding them,sorry.
Although this is an interesting read: http://archive.easymodo.net/jp/thread/5147702#p5151648

>>7782834

I remember Dragon Knight. I played through most of it some time back, but got stuck due to not speaking moon.

Sadly the guy that said he was going to translate it disappeared off the face of the earth. And it was like 8 projects down his list even then.

>>7782938
Who was this guy?

>>7782944

http://jpntrans.eludevisibility.org/?page_id=5

I found this guy off the RHDN forum...which I'm no longer allowed on...he got a new site but then nothing.

He might still be on the RHDN forum somewhere, I dunno.

This game, man, this game...

>>7782976
>1 post
I doubt he got much work done,lol.

>>7782987
If I could bro fist you I would

Dragon Knight 4

And non-english one but very easy to play
Sentimental Shooting
Marble Cooking

Already listed
Three Sisters Story

Nocturnal Illusion
Season of the Sakura
Divi Dead
Ring Out

I've also got a few hundred PC98 and MAME games that are all non-english
Now get off my lawn

WHat, no Knights of Xentar? I'm disappointed.

>>7776698
Headaches and sex scenes derived from the main character keeping a fanny pack.

Should have checked my folder before posting, forgot a few:

Fatal Relations
Knights of Xentar, sorry not Dragon Knight 4 it was 3
RSP
Casual Romance Club

There is also a bunch of stuff from the old G-Collections and Viper that I don't care to post

I've never been able to find anything about Maid's Story, could anyone tell me what was its original title? I can't find but english sites about it.
Also nobody mentioned May Club so far, it had a pretty interesting concept and a very peculiar route.

>Dragon Knight 4
Someone should really translate the remake.

>>7783489

Cannot tell you much about it other then it was an old CsWear game brought over by Jast back in the day.
I've never seen a Japanese version of the game which is somewhat odd and it's not a PC98 title as far as I can tell.

More that I forgot

Time Stripper Mako
Runaway City
Gloria
Amy's Fantasies

>>7783516
Time Stripper Mako was a hideous game.
Amy's Fantasies was a joke eroge mocking everything that C'sWare had done up until that moment.
Runaway City was decent.
Gloria had more paths and endings than you could shake a stick at. Expect surprise exams and voice acting that does not match the text is writing during the porn.

Also, Gloria is the only erogame I have ever played where you could attain a happy end without ever having sex with anybody.

>>7783489

>>7783575
>メイド物語
well that was pretty straightforward, I don't know why it never crossed my mind. Thank you for your help.

So how big was the user base for these games back then when they were being translated? Where did people talk about them and such? I mean back then anime/any Japanese was unknown.

I imagine they talked about them on the Jast forums.

>>7783690
I found the games up for download on a "hentai site" and just discussed them with the community there, who was surprisingly pretty good. This was before torrents or big sites like e-hentai/fakku even got popular so you had to go to such specialized sites to find your porn. I was still on 56k connection back then, it was awesome having 20 hour games in less than 5mb.

>>7783690
Back in the old ages, there was this site named Reycava that had about ever single game made. In the site, a forum. In the forum, a retarder younger version of myself making stupid questions.

Also, there was Plasticman site, which was THE place to go for anything back in the day. Sadly, they got destroyed by Jast USA.

NTIL is getting pretty annoying

-Talk

-Look at walkthrough

Leaf seriously had the right idea on not doing this shit back in 96.

>What, no Knights of Xentar? I'm disappointed.

I still own the CD-Rom version (English dub for all dialog in game, not just cutscenes. Bad fake accents on some women). I have the add-on 3.5" disc that turns it into the 18+ edition.

>>7785338
Please upload it for us~

>>7785340

I could copy the CD but the 18+ disc is on 3.5" and I cant read it. I haven't had a 3.5" disc drive for since like 1998.

The CD on it's own is just the PG-13 version. The nudity is censored but they leave in the erotic dialog (Like when the S&M girl starts talking about strap-ons etc). it is kind of weird.

>>7785347
Aha thanks but I found this
http://snesorama.us/board/showthread.php?t=37482

I'll give it a try. Can I disable voice acting and leave the music on?

>>7785351

I dont remember.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GO9BOER8

CD-rom version + 1.08 patch + R18 patch

Didn't test it. I think it is from the same site you posted.

Also I should note that I bought it new off the shelf in 1995 at the mall downtown, at a babagges or software etc or some other retail chain videogame store. The world has changed...

Eroge used to be advertised in PC gamer and EGM, along with adds for la Blue Girl and urotsukidoji.

In the mid 90s EGM even had a 3 page article introducing gamers to anime, and they explained all the tropes and gags:

"When someone hears a bad joke they fall on their side. When someone thinks of something perverted they get a nosebleed. And expect to see a lot of pantyshots, even in childrens shows. This is normal in Japan".


tl;dr

Oldfag reminiscing of another era.
This was before the big anime crash at the turn of the century. It was supposed to be the next big thing but it turned out to be a small ripple.

So eroge has mainstream acceptance back then?
What the fuck happened?

>>7785412
Feminist?

>>7785412
Gaming wasn't mainstream back then.

>>7785412
>>7785418

Less to do with mainstream acceptance and more, methinks, to do with the fact that gaming in general was rather niche back then.

>>7785412
Mainstream moved to army based shooters

>>7785431
I don't think gaming in general was a niche back then, or are you talking about PC gaming.

Game consoles and arcades are pretty popular back then.

Where's Metal & Lace anyway?

Going to bed and bumping this so it doesn't die.

Some other games(Translated)
Rance 1,ONE,Moon and Pia Carrot e Youkoso!!

bump

Where do I go to save in this game?

Rance 1 was crap. ;_;

>>7789813
I agree. Butr just because it's Rance, people will say it's good.

>>7790457
How big of an inprovement is Rance 3?

>>7788997
I think you just need to press ESC key.

>>7777407
Though I don't really know what the problem is, I'd like to say I've had Nocturnal Illusion working easily on Windows 7 x84 but there are two points I'd like to make.

Firstly, I think it needs to be installed onto C: or perhaps it needs to be installed on a different drive. I'm sorry that I'm not being very helpful but I recall there being a problem about which drive you need to install it on. You could probably look the problem up on Google or the archive.

Secondly, I believe the game would sometimes freeze if I clicked out of the window.
