i'm in the middle of ~15 VNs and i think they're all before 2010 (i probably won't finish 3/4 of them but that's how it goes). i was trying to experience the history toward modern VN; it was easy at first with the chunsoft/sound novel days since you just need a console emulator, but i'm having some trouble with the mid 90's windows pc CD VNs. i think my compatibility mode (using windows 7, 10 probably has it too) isn't helping with software that is only compatible with 16 bit operating systems. pardon for being computer illiterate here, but if anyone has some solutions for this for a windows 7 pc, i'd appreciate any tips. surely others on here have been in this situation before too.

Sawamura Reiko, Shindou Kiyomi, and Suzuki Mio are the main characters of Magic Knights Rayearth, Umi Ryuuzaki, Fuu Hououji, and Hikaru Shidou respectively.

Yamagami Nobuyuki is probably Tenchi's father, Nobuyuki Masaki, from Tenchi Muyo
Yamagami Hidemi resembles Sasami and Aeka's mother, Misaki Masaki Jurai, also from Tenchi Muyo, but her sidelocks are a little different.

Shimazaki Makoto is Kensuke Aida from Evangelion, one of the other kids who never got to pilot a mech.

I can't place the others, but they all look familiar.

It's good to see someone else who thinks this. Visual novels appeal to me more than anime or manga these days since you're placed directly into the world via the protagonist, and getting to share that experience with the MC as they talk about it is such a great time. Also, it runs at your own pace, so you can consume it as quickly or as slowly as you like. There really aren't enough people out there who acknowledge how ingenious of an idea it is, especially considering how old the format is now.

I've started playing the old Lucky Star VN for the PS2. It's also on the PSP, so I could play it on-the-go on my Vita, but I'd rather first play with savestates and emulator features.

らきすた ～陵桜学園 桜藤祭～

It's OK so far. After about 2 years of Japanese learning, I can pretty much read and follow it all. A dozen or so new words per hour, though I'm admittedly not reading it very quickly.

I seem to have stumbled on the Konata route straight away, which is nice, though I must admit that I was aiming for Kagami. No H of course, on the PS2, but it's just nice to have some more scenarios with the characters, and with the anime's voice actresses.

I'm led to believe that if you read this at a native-speaker's pace, you can play the full game in about two hours. Although it looks as though there's a route for every girl, it's hard to check, as there seems to be pretty much no English-language material about this game. No walkthroughs, no route guides, nothing.

this is not true. 弟切草 and カマイタチの夜 had a large amount of branching paths with different stories/conclusions. in つきこもり and 学校であった怖い話, the order in which you choose the participants to tell their story, PLUS which of the multiple choice decisions you pick during their story, greatly change their story and its outcome. you're left with many, many different scenarios with each playthrough. so in terms of complexity of route options, VNs were like that from the beginning. in terms of creativity in production and presentation however, VNs built upon that over time (at least up until the '10's, my VN knowledge and experience is lacking concerning the recent years).

Chunsoft's 弟切草 ('92) and かまいたちの夜 ('94) are generally considered the origin of the modern visual novel. the term "visual novel" itself is thanks to Leaf's 雫 ('96), 痕 ('96), and To Heart ('97) works which they called their "visual novel series".

I'm searching for a VN that was translated in english, I probably played it in 98 or 99. The premice was that you're a female wrestler fighting agains't another female wrestler, basically you selected move and tried beating up the other. The winner took the "spoil". One thing that I remember was that a bad ending made you get abused by a very large man wearing a bowtie. It was a pretty short game if I recall right.
