/vr/ - Retro Games

no westerners can collect for this system as they would end up on the sex offenders registry, it's just wall to wall rape games with a port of wizardry and a few scrolling space shooters

>>7334580
I think I know what the P stands for...

That's why it's so great.

>>7334615
collect?

>>7334793
I don't just mean physical, I mean ROMs too, I wouldnt like to have the police scroll through my screencaps from pc-98 games, they would end up thinking I run a pedophile ring

>>7334796

>>7334580
As far as Custom games go, Metal Orange is way better.

>>7334615
I managed to find at least 110 games that are not porn AND mostly EOP-friendly. Even if I play and enjoy a few porn titles too, it's a reality that PC-98 offers a lot of good stuff by the likes of Falcom, Glodia, Compile, C-Lab, SystemSoft or Fuga System.

Archive.org has a collection of (obviously untranslated) PC-98 games. Just put "Neo Kobe - NEC PC-9801 (2017-11-17)" on your favorite search engine. Carat is by Custom, so it's inside the "Custom.zip" file.

I played Carat before. I was very surprised by it and wasn't really ready for being able to switch which way the matches count. I really like the challenge modes especially once it starts asking you to make unusual shapes for matches.
It crashed when I tried to look at the gallery, though.

>>7341181
There's some paint programs you can actually download to make this artsyle
I'll leave a list of some of them:

I think they mean more the overall anime style rather than the 16 color dithered girls.

>>7341710
And PC-98 has its own drawing games, like Jedai (pic related)

>>7341716
I think that's more a problem of old anime style that never come back

whats different?

i have no idea how to purchase a pc98 or what it looks like


im assuming everyone in this thread is emulating?

>>7341916
If you want real hardware, that means you need to buy stuff directly from japan using a proxy buyer. Plus you'll probably need to do some repairs. Just emulate for the moment, and if you love the system and already love messing with old computers then consider investing.

I'm looking for this one.

Rusty is the only thing resembling a game that I've played on PC98. I had to fiddle around with hardware options in Neko emulator to get a US keyboard working. Many of the "games" can be played with a mouse.

Finally a PC98 thread. The only place I can ask this anonymously without looking retarded publicly:

I have two PC-98's and a PC-88 but I'm scared to plug them in and power them on... I live in the USA.

Is there some sort of weird voltage differences between our power sockets and old technology that would mess them up?

Considering the full roster, all Lakers girl are awesome. I prefer Lakers 2 Natsune and Yayoi than their redisgns, though.

>>7354185
Chiaki > Reiko = Natsune > Yuka > Yayoi
I don't Lakers 3 Natsune's design, boobs are like giant blobs.

>>7341710
That's nonsense. I can do the same in PS 2020 right now. It's not a question of tools, it's the artist.

>>7337485

>>7354580
Including the pixelation? If it's so let me know the process then, 'cause I would be interested.
>>7354810
True, i forgotten

>>7354939
Of course. You just use the pen tool in PS.
In SAI I use 'legacy pen'.

>>7354516
I agree for Natsune, in Lakers 2 she already has a big rack but it became a big lump of flesh sadly hanging down in Lakers 3.
Also Yayoi was made way too moe in the same game. She was more womanly in Lakers 2.
My personal preference would be
Reiko > Natsune > Yayoi > Chiyaki > Yuka for Lakers 2, and Reiko > Chiyaki > Natsune > Yuka > Yayoi for Lakers 3.
As for actual gameplay, my favorite game is Lakers 2. Decent challenge, nice customization system, great soundtrack.

>>7355279
I hold bias to the Lakers 3 designs, as it's how I was introduced to the characters. Lakers 2 has some very nice art though, and the powered up designs on all the characters are pretty strong in it. Poor Lakers 1 really is rough by contrast to its peers, both in general design and art quality.

>>7355279
I said that I like Chiaki best >>7354516 but I didn't like her in Lakers 1 because of her hair style.
I started to like her since Lakers 2, I like Reiko the best in Lakers 1.
>gameplay
Lakers 1 is simple and the first one I played.
Lakers 2 is the best in gameplay and has nice art.
The equipment break makes one of the battle really hard.
I think it was solo Chiaki with lots of enemies, I thikn the male MC helps her after several turns.
But it's still hard because if you break too many equipments, their attacks are really weak.
I didn't play much Lakers 3 because I played the bootleg version which rips the music & videos.
I don't like the dating sims part.
Someone shared all 3 Windows version 1-2 years ago.
Thanks and I really need to replay them when I have time.

Because they wanted a shrine maiden archetype. It's not so much though, she's got a very modest bust compared to Chiaki and Natsune.

>>7355656
Chiaki has same breasts size with Reiko.

Don't worry anon, it's easy: mount Galpani (CD Boot disk).hdm in FDD1, and the iso (the .ccd works fine) in harddisk -> IDE #2. Hit reset and it should work.
No idea why you can only mount iso with IDE #2, but it works. Tell us if it's good with you.
Also lmao @ the janny for deleting the title screen I posted.

Because it was a blatant fake. You could tell from the pixels.

>>7355916
>woops, can't show tits now that kids browse /vr/ with their ps2

>>7355391
I hear ya. The Chiaki solo is the hardest mission in the whole trilogy. Once you've managed to kill half of the ennemies by healing a lot and changing damaged equipement as soon as you need it, it becomes a lot easier. But surviving until then is hard as nails. Cool thing you're rewarded with loads of exp and not one, but two h-scenes aftrwards.

>>7355653
Lakers 2 is actually a pretty decent srpg. The other two games are easier and are more straightfoward, but it's still a good entry point in the genre, before moving on to more complex stuff such as Amarnanth 4/KH, Dead Force, Metajo or Last Guardian.
As for masturbation, it's all a matter of taste.

>>7355713
Plus she actually has the sluttiest h-scenes. She should not be underestimated.

>>7355745
There's Yu-No (Windows version but identitical to the PC-98 version, as long as you install the music mod). Otherwise, some stuff has been officially ported but sometimes with different assets (Desire, Eve Burst Error).

>Desire
It's that NTR game in a reseach facility in an island, right?
Is the remake good?
When the remake was released, I heard they remove the sex scene.
Is there a latter version with sex scene?
>>7357343
If you want the Windows version, check warosu.
All three of Lakers' Windows game has been shared here.

>>7358427

>Who is she?
I was referring to Yayoi.

>Desire
The remake is based on the 90's windows version with remade art. It has sfw console versions, but the Win version has all the h-scenes. As for the actual game, there's actually a very good first route with a great story, and a very bad second route almost entierly consisting of badly written borderline ntr rape scenes. Probably because the editor thought there wasn't enough sex in route 1.
Eve and Yu-No are better, but Desire already has Kanno's trademark convulted storytelling and Umemoto's awesome music. Plus it's not too long, so you might as well give it a go.

>>7358427
Lakers 1/2 Windows may need to be reworked. It's the files, but the game checks for the disc when you try to play it so it probably needs to be reformatted into an iso.

>>7358463
I played the 90s one, it's a Windows game with voice acting.
The NTR in the female MC route made me rage but aroused at the same time.
It's was way hotter and more lustful than the vanilla route of male MC.
I guess it took part in embracing the dark side in me.
>>7358478
Maybe someone can fix them and upload all three in sukebei (torrent).

>>7358484
The h-scenes have great atwork, I'll give you that. And they went quite far in the nastiness, too. Plus the voice actress has a very nice moaning.

But the writing is so garbage-tier it actually hurts reading it. There is almost no story content, the dialogue during sex is cringe as it can be, and the stupidity and submissivity of the female MC is enraging. The other female characters are better written (except the milf secretary and the perverse nurse).

I was also frustrated by the Martina route (the one without any h, that is supposed to tie loose ends).Too rushed, without real new story elements...there was a lot of potential for this one, and Kanno blew it. I guess it shows it's an early work. Eve and Yu-No are better paced and the writing is more constant

Haven't play Xenon yet. Some anon was translating it at a point, than vanished without a trace.

>>7358561
>the dialogue during sex is cringe as it can be
In fairness, 99% of h-games have mega-cringe dialogue during the sex scenes.

>>7358570
Sometimes, there are some cool puns or some occasional genuinly hot stuff. But yeah, a lot of stuff is confusing to say the least. Not retro but the jackhammer and seafood references in fsn were a very embarassing moment for the global human dignity.

Desire's Makoto route is still in the bottom tier, though.

>>7358561
>very nice moaning
Hell yeah!
>Martina
How many route are there?
I though the male MC only gets the loli while the female MC gets the CHAD.
>Eve and Yu-No
Up till now I still haven't played Eve and Yu-No (including the remake).
Got the games years ago and they've been sitting in my external HDD for years.
>>7358570
>>7358575
I just want to fap so I don't care about the writing.
I don't even know Japanese and I played those untranslated retro games because of the CG.

Is there any archive of translated PC-88 and 89 games?

>>7358587
There are three routes in Desire, the Martina one is unlocked after completing the first two. Then after finishing Martina route you unlock a cinematic scene.

Albert don't "get the loli", there's a scene where she's naked and he is uncomfortable about it (censored in further releases). Then in late game she grows older when they're stranded in the alternate timeline for six years or so, falls in love with Albert, but he declines her becauses he sees himself more like a foster father for her.

In fact when he escapes said timeline, he finishes living as a freelance reported, living in a threesome with the mechanic and the dark skinned scientist.

In the ending cinematic, he rescues Tina/Martina from the timeloop whil help from his ex-girlfriend and I think he adopts her, even if it's not explicitely stated.

As for the "chad", he dies saving Makoto from the evil scientist so she finishes alone while Albert gets the two girls.

>>7358623
Yes, on archive.org.

>>7354810
he was talking about good games though

>>7358634
I didn't know about Martina route.
I know the CHAD died in her route and I accepted she couldn't get back with her ex.

>>7358695
I've skimmed the online CG gallery.
It seems I was wrong about the mechanic.
Did the chad have sex with other girls?

>>7358703
Yes, he actually fucked the secretary and the dark-skinned scientist (not on screen, but she actually was his girlfriend at the beginning of the game)

As for the censorship, it's in the recent remake (and the earlier Saturn version)

>>7358780
I don't remember the role of each girl.
I played it around late 90s or early 2000s.
Maybe I'll replay it (and the remake) someday.

>>7358869
It seems the remake hasn't been translated yet.
Are there groups or companies (like MangaGamer) translating it?

At least i can play this 2, until haze emulates the arcade one is not working yet. Gals Panic II.

There's two versions of the recent Desire remaster. The "R" version uses the Saturn version story of hypnotism instead of sexual domination/NTR. The "A" version has the original story for that part.

You finished the game, right?

You aren't a true fan if you don't have Sex.

>>7360326
With all the xcom clones nowaday and anime craze, they should make a new Lakers on Steam.

God I love Desire, it's tied with YU-NO for my favourite Kanno VN. I find it so funny how Kanno saw a lot of criticism on his writing for Love Potion, and then proceeded to write Desire which lampoons eroge and its players. It also does a good job of mixing the game's structure and narrative; having you play through the game multiple times from different perspectives when the story is based around a time loop is brilliant. It's also just fun to watch everything unfold, a lot like a Greek tragedy, right down to dealing in fate. Which is also why I hate the tacked on Windows ending that has Albert save Tina which completely ruins the point of the original ending. Especially since it was implied anyway. I'll admit the Makoto route is weak, but I didn't hate it too much and it's short enough. Desire, in my opinion, has the highest highs of all of Kanno's work (with the alternate dimension stuff being absolutely fantastic). Every time I replay Desire I always notice something clever that I missed the previous times around, which I've always felt was missing from Eve: Burst Error.
>>7358561
Yeah I haven't made any progress on that in a while. I've been lowkey for a few reasons, one of which being I wanted to see if I could get the translation released professionally and the other that I didn't want to discourage others from trying to translate it, since they'd probably do a better job than me.
>>7360159
That's a beautiful collection.

>>7360353
As far as I know, the original and Sega Saturn ends with Martina's route. I believe with the Windows release they added an additional cutscene at the end which gives it a happier ending. However I'm not 100% sure on this so someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

>>7360330
Lakers had a defining feature of shit accuracy for a strat RPG, so it would show X-com just how it gets thing done.

>>7360367
Yes, this specific ending wasn't in the original game. It basically starts with Makoto carrying on Martina's research. Albert and her use the reactor and they rescue Martina from the time loop. She never gets to Russia and never marries Gustav. So she never gives birth to her daughter either. If I remember well the last of the game shows her become the head of Desire again.
It's a happier ending, but I agree it's weaker. The greek tragedy thing is one of the highlights of the game, as you pointed it. It's a strong story, it's just too bad the two routes other tan Al's are so much weaker. Perhaps I was expectng too much after being hooked by it.

What is your verdict on Xenon compared to the other Kanno games ? I would love to give it a shot, as soon as my Japanese improves a bit (I'm still far from being a fluent reader) but have absolutely no idea what it's worth.

>>7360189
It's not a very hard game. The hardest part is just to get all the h-scenes, but following the guidebook is enough. It's on e-hentai.

>>7360373
I heard this criticism before, but it never really was an issue for me. Maybe I got lucky during my playthrough. I just remember it being an hassle in one of the last mission of the first game, where you must fight monsters in a corridor.

>>7360464
>It basically starts with Makoto
Is this the original ending?

>>7360497
The original ending is just Martina's route, which is present in all versions. I guess since the narrative is told in three different perspectives, it might make more sense to categorize the ending as how each route ends. For Albert's route, he gets paid off to keep quiet and uses the money to search for Tina, who he'll never find. Makoto abandons her moral concerns and decides to continue and perfect Martina's research. Tina/Martina is stuck in the time loop forever (the original ending card on the Saturn even says "To be continued forever").
For whatever reason they added on to the ending, either because this ending was too depressing or they wanted to add something to the Windows release just so they could say it has more content than the Saturn release. In this added on ending, it's the cutscene described by >>7360464
>>7360464
Yeah I can see why you'd be disappointed by the two routes. I like Desire more from an analysis perspective than an actual playing it perspective, so I can more easily forgive the sloppy filler writing since I find the themes so strong. As for Xenon, it's a lot like Desire in that the first route is mostly plot driven while the other routes are more porn focused. At least with Xenon, the plot route is actually separate from the porn routes except for a very loose link. I haven't actually made my way through all the routes yet, since I'm translating it as I play it, so I'll just comment on the plot route: it's the most abstract and convoluted Kanno narrative, as it's constantly jumping between two different settings and their intentionally blended together such that it's hard to tell what's going on. The character are pretty barebones, but it's more of an aesthetic experience rather than a plot or character driven story. Kinda like a Lynch movie, I'd say the story isn't as important as the experience. So if you liked the more abstract and weird stuff from Kanno's work, then I'd give it a go.

Anyone remember Li's Fun House?
It's an old website where you can download eroge savegames.
Densetsu.com is still up even though there's no activity for years.

Elf had been dead for years but there was a new Kisaku games (colab with Sei Shojo) released a few years ago.
There will be new Doukyuusei remake scheduled to be released this Feb.
So I think if Lakers series are still popular, we can hope someone will revive the series.

It's the generic goon.

It's just wishful thinking that we're gonna get a new Lakers game.
*get back playing Lakers II*

>>7362939
Don't know if it's something we'd really want anyway. Even if Kantori came back for art duty, his style has changed a lot over the years (and was even constantly evolving during the time the Lakers games were being made). Further, who knows what sort of perversions they might throw into the game to suit the modern Japanese smut audience. I don't want to think about that too much.

>>7334615
wtf I love PC-98 now

>>7362980
Add NTR in Lakers.
NTR is the most famous genre.
I'm ready for it since Desire >>7358484 corrupted me.

>>7363492
That's really nice, thanks anon.

>>7363307
It looks like pure trash to me, it's flat "art" tier: less details, less shadings, flat faces...
Kinda like the Yu-No remake.

>>7363526
Take a look at the Doukyuusei Remake.
Pretty soulless, but I'll still play it because I'm a huge sucker for Doukyuusei series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB8MYtHOU6o

>>7363526
Holy fuck, the images on the right are so devoid of artistry.

>>7363591
That's so sad, anon...

>>7363640
What? You want more of it?

>>7355927
What bothers me the most is the clash of styles.
You have parts that seem lifted from the previous Windows version which did a decent job with the graphics and new parts that wouldn't be that bad if the whole game looked like that.

>>7363685
>so sad
I know, it's been like that for 25+ years.
Misa Tanaka & Yui Narusawa are my waifu.
>your pic
Those eyes in the remake are so empty.
It's like they are dolls without personality.
>>7363719
It seems you're quoting the wrong post.
The map looks like the DMM version but those icons are horrible.
There's a Misa icon on the school building.
It seems the game gives you hints where the girls are.
In the older versions, you have to keep track of their schedule.

>>7363809
Yes, everything is just so... flat?
The bare minimum shading/lighting kills me, too. Just like the lack of details.
Do people really want this, or is it just laziness and so much cheaper?

>>7363809
It has an easy mode that can be toggled on/off that shows the locations and event schedule

>>7363889
I have a web developer friend who can design.
He really like pale colors, like that pic.
He could do better if he choose better color.
I told him once and he said it's his style.
>>7363891
>toggled on/off that shows the locations and event schedule
Nice feature.

>>7363907
Would this trigger him?

>>7363239
He's actually been drawing like that since around 2000.

>>7363994
I don't know if he like anime or not.
>>7363997
There are so many artists who used to draw better.
Does digital drawing make them worse?

>>7363307

>>7363994
This image has not been accurate for at least 10 years. New anime is like 50% CGI. Not that it makes it any better.

>>7364057
Haha shit, I didn't even know PSW was a remake. I remember the gameplay being so bad (something with the accuracy or damage?) I didn't even bother going further than a few missions.

>>7364109
It's 100% digital inking and coloring, even was by 2006. Started in the late 90s as cost saving measures. In a way that's already CGI. Slapping ugly 3D environments, Mechanical models on it or doing obvious camera projection is just the icing on the shit sundae.
Shortcuts always breed laziness.

>>7364109
It wasn't even accurate when it was made considering the right is all movies and OVAs with much bigger budgets than the tv series on the right.

>>7364146
The gameplay in the original version of Youjuu Senki isn't much better.
The sequel added some special options to make it less braindead.

>>7364156
Digital inking was the standard tool on PC88 and PC98 games.
Color scanners weren't readily available and didn't produce good pictures.

>>7364165
In Japan maybe?
The advertising agency I was working at had a capable color drum scanner in the mid 80s.

It seems they use new voice actresses.
Don't see Mai's little sister.

>>7364165
we talk about anime dude

>>7364158
That sucks but thanks, anon. At least I know I'll skip this one.

>>7363994
I like that the examples used for 'old anime' is promotional art and covers, as opposed to actual animation frames.
There was also so much cheap goddamn anime in olden days, Osamu Tezuka himself pioneered the recycling of animation frames for saving time and money, long before computers were used for processing or creating animation for cartoons.

>>7364157
There's that too, movies and OVA series like those were studio vanity projects which took a lot of time. You have OVA series from those periods where it could be a year or more between episodes releasing.

Did I hear somebody talk about upgraded artwork?

>>7364234
I know it's Satoshi Urushihara who made the old arts, but who made the new arts?

>>7364231
A lot of OVA were also crap and didn't even look that great, especially in regards to animation. And way too often were they stopped at a cliffhanger after a handful of episodes.

>>7364251
cope: the post

>>7364260
What am I coping with? The fact that I have seen 500 OVA from the 80s and 90s and wasn't wowed by many them?

Man, I haven't watched Lodoss since 1999, but the dragon on the right looks like he's striking a retarded pose with arms coming out from his cheeks.

>>7364238
It's by Nagi Ryou, who also worked on Ar Tonelico and the YU-NO remake.

>>7363889
The style is simplistic because they wanted something easier to animate: https://www.gematsu.com/2019/09/yu-no-a-girl-who-chants-love-at-the-bound-of-this-world-mini-interview-with-producer-makoto-asada

>First of all, the decision to create an anime had already been made when we decided on making a remake of the game. Part of the reason we changed the art style was because we wanted something that was easier to transfer to the anime medium. I expected there would be users who prefer the original art style, but thought it would be hard as a business to bring it back to the same aesthetic as 20 years ago.

>>7366961
Now that you mention it, I can see it's by the same artist of Yuno.
But he did better coloring in this one.

>>7334668
NEC Porn Computer 98

I really love how PC-98 stuff looks despite never having played a single game of that platform

>>7363640
digital anime is mass produced garbage

>>7367515
It's the art styles of the 80s and 90s, distilled into a 16 color maximum image. Most of the time they're not animated so it's just "make the best picture you can".

>>7367508
It means "CP" but Nips read from right to left.

>>7366974
The Yu-no remake may be the biggest disappointment ever on my weeabo life. Even the flcl sequels didn't hit that hard. Ruining the aesthetics this way is just criminal. And don't even get me started on the boring, uninspired and plain flat dubbing. I tried to watch the anime but it became too painful to endure after the 2nd episode.

>>7367846

>>7367862
I hope the Doukyuusei Remake has anime version like the original.

There's no strategic component.
Just pick the girls and throw them into the meat grinder. In the missions you will see female hostages getting molested by tentacles and between the missions you can date the squad members.
You have better options for tactics with girls like Lakers, Power Dolls or Foxy.

I used to be into it, but aesthetic/vaporwave troomers from Tumblr/Twitter ruined it for me.

>>7370962
Your selection is very nice anon. I'll add Shangrlia, Magical Jam, Beast Breeders, Metajo and Tuned Heart to the list.

>>7363685
Are those from Doukyuusei?

Sogna resurrection when?

>>7369875
>>7370962

There's not "no strategic component."
Yes, if you compare it to xcom you are going to be disappointed, but its far from braindead.
The sequel fixes alot of the first 2 game's problems, still not as deep, but enjoyable.

>>7369863
MANY THANKS

>>7371371
Strategic as opposed to tactical. You need to worry about where to place your squad members to maximize your firepower while minimizing your exposure.
My main problem was that there was no real sense of growth or increase in difficulty. Extra objectives such as a limited number of turns were as far as it got.

>>7372609

>>7371137
It's sad that Metajo is so underrated. I always felt that if it was ported to another system or not released at very end of the pc-98's life, it would have been seen as a classic.

For good reason. See >>7366961

>>7372658
I remember playing it but quit because the enemy turns took forever.

Does anyone know an adventure/horror game with a girl on a dress that starts on an empty room? I remember that the color palette was very warm, like a vintage photo.

>>7373416
Found it, Tokyo Twilight Busters. It is nothing like what I described, the girl is not on a dress and the color palette is not even close to what I remember lol

>>7372658
Are you using a automatic translator, or is there a menu hack for the game ?

>>7373446
It still looks amazing. I wish there more pc-98 translations.

>>7373386
Using the fast foward function on emulators can help. Some missons are indeed very long because of the massive enemy forces you have against you.

Noob here, how do I go about finding translations? Ive lurked and see https://www.romhacking.net/?page=translations&platform=3 but are there others?

>>7373557
I remember that guy started translating it a few years ago, but I think that he moved on to another project and put this on hold

>>7373663
Here: https://archive.org/details/nec-pc-9801-translations

>>7373817
Well... can't bitch about it because it's so nice that people care enough to translate games. I still wish it was done ;)

>>7373545
It's a menu/skill hack I made 15 years ago
It translates the menus and skill systems but none of the dialogue. It's pretty poorly done in terms of translation quality.

This is probably kind of niche but what's a good source for 90s puzzle eroges? Not necessarily just for PC-98. I like the genre but I'm not sure how to go about finding more content in that niche.

Been looking for similar content myself. There were a few mentioned in this thread. Closest genre that meets your definition is probably Strip Mahjong games honestly, they're plentiful, especially on MAME.

Ok, here a basic menu/skill translation for Metajo. Translates most of the menus and all of the skills.
https://mega.nz/file/RxpFhSpZ#sMhTdPTh_4_CPxJv6L0YqZvC8ph46sbuXAMvs0-xOG8
(I spent a bit longer cleaning it up because of how dumb i was when I first made it)


Just a little read me: the whole "Upper Lower class" thing on the menu is the difficulty setting of the game, you can change it in the setting menu. Also if you notice extreme slow downs during dialogue, it because you're emulator is not set up to play the characters voice audio correctly, a newer emulator should fix this.

>>7376989
Thanks, but I mean "pointers" as in "text pointers" or where in the program it points to the start and end of a text string. If he has any tips for that I would be grateful for anything. The roadblock that I hit was that I often would have 30 characters to translate 3 sentences and that is just impossible without it turning into "Igo2stor4fud" type crap. if I could find the pointers I could get unlimited space for text.

>>7377442
I still don't understand the skill tree and I have played this game to death. (there is a octopus skill that in the files but I have never unlocked)
But that part of what I love about this game, there are secrets everywhere, even the tutorial level has a secret.

>>7382917
Thanks, anon.
I hope someday you can translate the whole game.

>>7382917
Thanks a lot, anon, that's very nice of you. I'll give it a try this week-end.

How about starting a little blog or something to document your work and issues? Even if it's just one entry in a while because you have other stuff to do, I'm sure knowledgeable people (i.e: not me since I got filtered by nes translation) would help.

>>7382917
>tutorial level has a secret
What secret?

>>7382917
You're a gem <3

>>7382893
And so are you for the Mahjong Fantasia tip

>>7383058

During the tutorial when it tells you to move to a star, if you don't and keep wasting turns, the game gets more and more angry with you until turn 20 when the game's creator finally gives you the choice of a free level or the swimming skill for moving to the star and finish the tutorial.

Anybody knows the source of this pic? it looks like yuno my only doubt is that there is no cristals on the frame, and i realy don't remember that girl in the game

>>7388358
It is from YUNO, but it's part of a special disk they would mail out at request that had stuff like fanart, a bit of bonus content, etc. That exact image is part of the "CG Dojo" bonus content. This content is included in the fan patch, but I'm not sure if it made it into other retail versions of the game.

>>7388381
>SP Disk
I knew it.
Elf loves making parody of their own games.
I was looking for a sample to post, Doukyuusei 2 SP Disk.
But vndb doesn't have that entry (I thought it was there years ago).

>>7390596
Sounds fucking stupid.

>>7390635
The thing about it is that it was advertised as a pure love game and nothing about the fact that she was already taken was known. They've done slut heroines before without an issue, the problem here was that they advertised one thing and gave something else. Destroying the CD is stupid though. A normal person would just return the game and get their money back.

>>7390727
