/vr/ - Retro Games

Pic related is the only entry in this extremely long-running series to be translated. I like this game, but it's extremely simple and it's based on the first game, which had already gotten at least one sequel by the time this came to the states. Just in /vr/ territory there were like twenty Winning Post releases, but interest outside of Japan is so low that even this official release has hardly any information written about it. Even on YouTube there are maybe four videos about it.

Anyone ever play the Winning Post series by Koei? It's a strategy/management game where you own racehorses and develop a gambling problem by betting on races. It sounds niche but seeing your balance go up as you win and bet right is surprisingly addictive. The first four and its many ports and standalone updates are all /vr/ eligible. Pic related (an enhanced port of the first game) is the only release in the series ever to be released outside of Japan, and none of the other games have been fan translated, which is a shame considering just how many of these there are.
