Look how happy she is playing in the snow.

Jesus christ how did anyone afford that shit back then?

>>4972646
No, I like games with grinding cute boys, vivid colors, and existentialism.

>>4972651
That's $133 USD now. Likely less during Japan's "lost decade". Not a high price for a niche game, and the kind of weirdo who would buy it wouldn't be put off paying a little more than standard.

Also I like to read old catalogues like this. Also magazine ads etc. They're a fascinating piece of history.

No, I think they are made for pedophiles.

I only enjoy games where I teach my children to murder and steal, just like real life.

>raise daughter with top poise
>she moves her way up the rankings in the court
>eventually becomes best bros with the king

>becomes a generic artist and marries some nobody merchant

It’s too much like real world parenting disappointment.

The ending where she becomes an escort is considered a "bad" ending wtf? This game is hella problematic.

More proof we should do away with tripfags.

This was one of the earliest games I bought for Saturn, in like Spring of 1996. It turned out to be great. Spent so many hours on it, using an issue of Saturn Fan with an ending list in it to find things I'd missed.

>>4972656
>the kind of weirdo who would buy it
Hey!
The Saturn version was only like $80

Did you know high skill sex workers don't even have penetrative sex most of the time?

/vr/ summed up in one post

>>4972686
You're meant to be raising A LITERAL PRINCESS HANDED DOWN FROM HEAVEN, not a prostitute!

How about games about teaching your students to be proper women?

Damn breh, I would have loved to be a guy that buys Japanese Saturn games back in 1996.

>>4972879
Another guy who imported Saturn shit back in the day here. One of them was RSG. Another was Cho Aniki. Fun times.

>>4972879
I'd dropped out of college and was working at Long John Silver's while living with my mother, but with a couple of years of college Japanese classes behind me and a Sega Saturn in front of me, I have to say life was pretty good

>>4972843
Your mom must be low-skilled then.

>>4972885
>>4972881
Cool. I was born in 1989 and only learned Japanese in 2014.

>>4972886
She's pretty vanilla.

>>4972646
I unironically like the bad endings more.

I got the Saturn version of that not too long after PM2 and was disappointed with it, wound up selling it off after barely playing it much. But in retrospect I'm not sure I gave it a fair chance. I was really enamored with Princess Maker at the time and wanted to try other things in the same genre, and my reaction to Graduation was just "bah, this isn't like Princess Maker"
(Kinda reminds me of my experience playing Miracle Warriors immediately after Phantasy Star)

>>4972861
Was this game really that famous in Japan?

I mostly remember that one of the games in the series got a weird Mecha spinoff Anime for whatever reason

How do Japanese people buy this stuff? Do they not have shame?

>>4972902
It did get a bunch of sequels and spin-offs.
But then again, so does Neptunia.

>>4972910
Shame doesn't usually work on otaku. Otherwise there would be no otaku.

>>4972910
Japanese shop clerks are very professional. Mechanical even in some cases, one might say. I remember when I first went to buy eroge in Akihabara I had some reservations, but there was no need to worry.

>>4972892
Did you solicit her services?

>>4972657
>>4972660
Why aren't they mentionning the MSX version of Princess maker in the catalog while they do for the ones show on >>4972662?

i love the music in PM2 so much

some of the best FM i've heard

>>4972680
t. grandpa

>>4973365
Because the MSX port of PM1 wasn't out until 1992.

what happened to 4?

This thread made me homosexual

>>4972843
.....Oh.

Guess I'm not high-skill then :/

>>4972646
Princess Maker 2 is one of my favorite games. I usually like raising her to be a powerful warrior. The first one is alright, but just 2 with less stuff mostly. Still need to play the others.

>>4972646
Cute Japan is worst Japan. I need giant monsters and rape.

>>4974709
Princess Maker 2 has monsters and rape, though not at the same time

I need to try that weird sort-of adaptation they made of it sometime.

>>4974723
oh yeah I bought the U.S. DVDs on clearance years ago and then never watched them
forgot that even existed until you mentioned it

>>4974709
>Cute Japan is worst Japan. I need giant monsters and rape

Why not both?

>>4972675
Here we fucking go again. You fucking pedos are absolutely everywhere these days.

>>4972859
I just went to download that only to discover the English release also has English audio. What is even the point?

Of course I do.

>>4972859
This game is also great. English localization is a bit sketchy and the game has an annoying amount of RNG with some of its events, but is a solid game. Difficult to get the "best" ending for every girl, but I managed to get them all to university.

>>4974551
As far as I know, 4 was mainly developed by a different company so I'm assuming it's licensing issues.

>>4975993
Time to get started on making your undub hack

How are the steam versions? I've heard they have horrible translations, are there any fan made patches for that?

What about a game where you raise a child to get in the robot

Not until I saw that Game Center CX episode.

I found a PC Engine character-raising game called Virgin Dream. I don't know what the goal is but I assume her dream is to become a virgin.

>>4974573
Never thought there were girls on /vr/. Learn something new everyday I guess.

>>4979681
Finally a game for us born-again Christians
