/vr/ - Retro Games

For me, it's Layla. Had it on a pirate famiclone 4-in-1 cart as a kid, along with Sukeban Deka III, Amagon and some other game. I am nostalgic for obscure famicom kusoge because of games like these.

>>9907541
Forgot to add, I didn't associate myself with her but I drew a comic about space suit girl fighting aliens on an asteroid inspired by her.

>>9907528
Hmmm so no Sailor Moon then?

Alrighty, let's see. There's Panel de Pon, Cotton 100%, Hello Kitty games, Magical Pop'n, Fushigi no Yume no Alice, Harvest Moon GBC (lets you play as a girl), Animal Crossing, Seifuku Densetsu Pretty Fighter, Asuka 120%, Harmful Park, Hanagumi Taisen Columns, and of course Umihara Kawase. Let's also throw in Pocket Fighter and Virtua Fighter Kids, the "cute" versions of their respective series.

I'm leaving out games like Alisia Dragoon, Monster World IV, and Popful Mail where the lead character is obviously depicted as stronger and more fierce, less "girly", as well as games like Advanced VG and SNK Gals Fighters which have girls in them, but aren't exactly for little girls ^^". How did I do?

>>9907546
Leaving out Valis as well since she is more of the warrior princess type, to say nothing of Valis X which is definitely not for little girls lol

What about girly games that don't have anime girls in them? Like Bust-A-Move 2 or Kirby's Dream Land 3

Hm... I guess Gussun Oyoyo also fits into this category, sort of

>>9907528
You know in a weird sense, Cho Aniki could almost be considered a girly game for its nonstop depiction of shirtless guys. Femanons please confirm

>>9907528
"Broke steriotypes" just isn't the right way to think of it. Boys who were the main audience just didnt want to play as girls before they hit puberty. It's not that girls were picky but that action men or funny cartoon animals were more engaging. And game devs didnt want to make female protagonists that often.

Your girl games would be on the pc with adventure games. Or your games with rpg parties or multiple playable characters. Chun Lee was the first woman in fighting games. Etc.

Can't go wrong with Rhapsody, that's a girly game.

>>9907528
Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts are pretty girly

>>9907559
Gay porn magazines where extremely popular with sukeban girls back in the 80s.

>>9907604
Kingdom Hearts is a literal magical girl plot but featuring a male MC

>>9907528
I really like the valis games, they feature cool female characters though the games aren't 'girly'.
Playing as a girl was something I avoided when I was like 8 but I grew out of that like everyone.

>>9907528

Girls Garden

I frequented this general electronics store that also had video games, lots of games. Many of them were bootlegs from china, especially for Mega Drive, there were practically no official Sega stuff here, it was all bootleg, even the consoles.
I kept seeing the Sailor Moon box art, and I remember not knowing what to think of it, they looked very weird (probably the first time I saw a shoujo-style anime girl, or an anime girl at all other than Heidi and Lyn Minmay maybe). At this point I didn't know what it was, just a random game, looked too girly for me to even care, but the cover and the sailor scouts stood out to me, clearly.
Fast forward some months, maybe a year, and Sailor Moon starts being aired on TV. Initial reaction: "lol, for girls, stupid", but somehow kept watching, it was entertaining. Kind of hated the main character though, I thought she was actually too whiny and stupid.
I ended up watching the whole thing and becoming a fanatic, the last 2 episodes were incredible, 10/10 (I'm talking season 1, didn't know there was more).
It's around this time when I finally came across the game again, and I got it, and I loved it. Played it religiously, loved the graphics, the music, the levels, everything. In my kid mind, it felt as if I was "destined" to play this game, so to speak. It felt special to me.
Pic related it's the same cart I got.

>Japanese female developers band together to make a game they'd want to play (with male technical assistance)
>Make a website where players can talk about the game and ask for tips
>They soon disband and move on, happy with what they've made
Pretty cute story to be honest.

>>9907528

>>9907528
>Sailor Moon broke stereotypes
Wtf are you talking about? That was girly AF

When I was a kid in the 80s by far the most popular series among girls I knew was Zelda.

I'm thinking of this cute gameboy colour game my sister had back in the day. Got it at a local game store, it was an import game but the GBC wasn't region locked. I think the protag was a fairy girl who did alchemy or something. I'd like to find that game.

>>9908997
I forgot about Mega Man Powered Up. Was going to show it to a friend who's into kawaii things

>>9907528
>Is there any female video game character you've associated yourself with?
Troon thread.

>>9909165
The atelier series possibly it has a few games in it.

>>9909092
we are talking about '13-year' old girls who look like 20-somethings, and dress like sluts. and they mostly beat the shit of creepypasta-hailing monsters and demons (AT least on S1, from R onward they changed those to slutty mutants).

what show did you watch?

>>9907528
>Before Lara Croft and Sailor Moon broke stereotypes
Nigga how the fuck does a fictional character break a stereotype?

>>9909092
>That was girly AF

Yet every single boy in my neighborhood had watched it. Without admitting it publicly, of course.

>>9907528
Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty, God of War, GTA, Madden, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Double Dragon, Contra, Duke Nukem, Twisted Metal, SmackDown vs Raw, Killzone, Mercs, Two Crude Dudes, Bad Dudes, Rush'n Attack, and Animal Crossing

The Krion Quest and the developers had a considerable argument about including girl MC as they thought the typical 9 to 14 year old boy Famicom gamer wouldn't go for it.

>>9910391
This is funny to me considering it's literally just Mega Man in a dress

>>9910391
>>9910397
lol

>>9910402
They've could at least change the eyes a bit, takes like 5 seconds.

>>9910402
I probably would have gotten rid of her cleavage as it's a bit chintzy and a distraction.

>>9910391
it's rather odd considering City Connection was a huge seller in Japan, ironically changed to a male protagonist for the US release for that same reason.

>>9907630
tetsuya nomura is a flaming homo, I don't know why nobody ever addresses it

>>9910416
>her cleavage
The fu...? I always saw it as a scarf, now I can't unsee it as the NES equivalent of jiggle physics, thanks a million.

>>9910523
Dude, she's literally drawn with bare shoulders at the title screen... oh wait, right, not in the US version.

>>9907528
The og Phantasy Star was pretty unusual for having a female protagonist in a turn based RPG. Good game too

>>9907528
IIRC Kirby was supposed to be female, but the Western localization fucked up the gender pronouns so Japan compromised by saying that Kirby's biological sex is unknown.

>>9910578
> Kirby's creator, Masahiro Sakurai, wrote Kirby's profile which also lists the character's gender as "unknown" and once jokingly stated that Kirby may actually be female, in reference to a question about Samus Aran.

You've fell for Sakurai's trolling, once again.

>>9910629
I mean, nuHAL fell for it too then if it was supposed to be a joke, plus this coincides perfectly with the whole literal whitewashing of Kirby for the first game.
The real missed opportunity was failing to make Gooey a girl to make the pair a pink boy and blue girl.

>>9910402
Roll-chan is supremacy over the plebs.

Metroid

>>9912410
If the cover of Metroid had a black woman with her flowing hair while holding her helmet on the side it would have had the same fate and low sales as Japan did and would have been on the same level as Star Tropic.

You might want to bone Samus now, but girls were eeky for the Nintendo demo back then

>>9907557
nah. its just a very japanese puzzle game

>>9907528
like someone else mentioned, a SJW Youtube admin deleted ZetaGames's legendary video review of this game

>>9910416
I mean, Squoon had topless mermaid titties so why not?

>>9912513
Is it archived

>>9912513
>And then there's this bitch. Big ol' fuckin' slut.
Actually I think I know who did it too. There used to be a "gamer chick" who had a channel of classic game reviews (no longer there I think?) who had a video about Princess Minky Momo and she specifically mentioned his video in a derogatory manner (not outright but she implied it was problematic).

Everyone always sleeps on this game. Only bad thing is the fan translation has a part early in the game where the characters break the 4th wall and tell you about a guy who died while working on the fan translation. No one gives a shit, I just want the game translated. So if anyone can hex edit that shit completely out, it would be appreciated.

This thread truly delivers, but I'd like to gently remind /vr/ to not forget about the GOAT.

>>9912553
Watched the anime of this last week. Had no idea it had a game. How is it?

>>9909357
uuuuuh

Sailor Moon doesn't "dress like a slut" you just think like a predator

>>9910416
And that's why just a pixel could make the difference between innocence and sexyness

>>9907528
There was this really bad SNES Barbie game I enjoyed, even though Im male. You could also see Barbie dressed up in a bikini. That's probably why I enjoyed it, the gameplay was horrendous.

>>9912881
It's pretty interesting. You have 9 characters in your party in 3 groups. Whenever you get into a random battle, it'll be with any of the 3 groups, with group 1 having the highest chance of fighting. The initial teams are pretty balanced, but you can arrange them however you like All the enemies are cute monster girls, too.

>>9909131
That was true in the 90s, and the 2000s, and probably today.

>>9907557
My nigga.

>>9912493
Puzzle game? You sure you played it?

Cho Aniki
Crysis

>>9910578
I always thought to myself that Kirby was on the precipice of being outright girly, but the world is abstract enough to not tetter over the edge, plus Kirby and Ribbon totally had the hots for each other and I initially thought that HAL introduced her as a permanent love interest in the regular cast, I always got funny looks when my Smash Bros friends called Kirby a "she" and I said "but Kirby's a 'he' because he has a girlfriend!" Things sure were simpler back then.

>>9916157
Japan has Kirby manga running in both magazines aimed at little girls and magazines aimed at little boys, with different brands of comedy aimed at the two different demographics.
So yeah, it's not really "girly". More "kiddy".

>>9910537
This was part of their "let's see how Dragon Quest does it and do the opposite" paradigm. And then they abandoned it for the rest of the series. Gave PS2 protag same diadem from DQ even.

Yume Nikki

>>9907546
Shame how they killed her off

>>9916157
Kirby is also very boyish and "rad" though. Its not even American pissed kirby logic, a lot of the games make him out to have a "cool" style to him alongside the cute. I think its better to just treat kirby as a genderless, barely sentient, yet somehow super intelligent in specific areas, completely unique blob thing. Literally a weapon of mass destruction with the mental state of toddler. I think thats pretty much the idea for a while now with the anime and "deep lore" shit.

Every classic game should be hacked so you can play as a girl in it, if it doesn't have such an option (e.g. Pokemon gen2+).

>>9907757
Sovl

I liked Idol Hakkenden a lot, it reminded me of Kodomo no Omocha.

>>9917684
If you read interviews with Pokemon anime staff, they always go on about how Pikachu is the perfect mascot because he's both extremely cute and appealing to girls AND extremely cool and appealing to boys. That's the same feel you get from Kirby. He appeals to everyone on multiple levels.

Definitely not. It's an acknowledged part of the franchise; so much it had a sequel, if you look you'll find they made a Hello Kitty World 2 on mobile.

>>9907528
Nakayoshi to Issho was cute. The gameplay is a bit simple though.

>>9908997
I hope a lot of these games are as cute as the artwork.

>>9907528

I’ve recently finished the GBA game Petz Vet, which is the English localized name of a title from the popular Himawari Doubutsu Byouin series in Japan. The game is a sequel to the first Himawari Doubutsu Byouin game for GBA, which was unfortunately never localized for North America.

Petz Vet is about being a girl vet living in an idyllic town during her two year internship. While helping animals every day, which is done primarily via minigames, she can also spend free time doing various recreational activity such as hanging out with friends, tennis, bowling, and etc. Depending on how well she does as a vet and who she befriends, it can alter the ending. There are 11 endings.

The pet portraits and the pixel art of the vet hospital are all charming and cute. There are many pets in this game (probably around 60-100), and each new one is exciting to encounter. Given how many pets there are from birds, dogs, cats, hamsters, and more, it is also astounding how each has unique portraits for being healthy or sick. The artwork of the pets is very impressive that I wish I could find the name of the artist!

What makes Petz Vet a great game is the sense of community. Every month, there is a story that involves your coworkers or people of the town you inhabit. These stories are typically very wholesome and enrich the experience. As a consequence, the game resembles traditional Harvest Moon titles except there are more events and unique dialogue. On a typical day, you wake up in your room, walk through town to the clinic, examine two pets, and then go home at night or spend time doing some recreational activity. Interspersed during these days are various stories involving coworkers or friends. It is about a 10-12 hour experience.

>>9920260
2/4
When a pet arrives at the clinic, the player is provided a chart of temperature, hunger, happiness, and stress levels, and they are supposed to decide whether the pet requires special treatment or medicine, which then causes a minigame much of the time. However, the game offers no approach in how to best interpret the examination chart; however, given this is a low stress game, there is no drawback based on what diagnosis the player chooses unless a minigame is failed, which decreases skill and wisdom stats. Some of the minigames can be initially difficult, but they typically have one or two tricks that make them easy.

The main issue with Petz Vet is that it can be unintuitive how to raise certain stats to alter the ending. For example, you need a high wisdom for certain endings, and the best way to raise it is by taking your pet for a walk and triggering an Animal Quiz minigame at the park. This is a better way to raise wisdom than relying on the minigames during internship.

I am surprised it never attracted a cult following. I wish other similar titles were translated such Akachan Doubutsuen, which is a part of the same series but set in a wildlife rehabilitative center, and Ohanaya-San Monogatari, which is about taking care of a flower shop but similar. Even though these games force a female protagonist, they do not really feel girly. Rather, they’re more about promoting a positive work and communal culture and raising awareness of animal welfare.

>>9920260
>>9920264

>>9920260
>>9920264
>>9920270

>>9907528
Akogare Girls Collection: Ohanaya-San Monogatari is also another good series but never localized. It's about a girl taking care of a flower shop with social sim aspects. It looks very soulful. While there are a lot of good rom hacks of cute saccharine games, I would still say there are more that were never localized. I prefer the word "saccharine" rather than "girly" because I am a white straight male who likes this kind of stuff a lot. I don't like being called girly.

>>9920282
>I prefer the word "saccharine" rather than "girly" because I am a white straight male who likes this kind of stuff a lot
I thought "saccharine" was normally used to describe things trying way to hard to be cute to the point where it's a bad thing. Similar to how saccharine is overly sweet vs actual sugar.

>>9920295
You're right. I guess "sweet" is better. Maybe "effervescent" is good too.

>>9921581
It's a licensed game based on the magazine Nakayoshi and featuring popular characters from manga serialized there. If you're not already familiar with the magazine beyond "Sailor Moon ran there" it's probably not going to be all that appealing.

>>9907528
Does this game feature a truck boss?

>>9907559
I'm pretty sure no girl would find those attractive.

>>9912553
Dem faces.

>>9921718
No, the game is based on Sea Momo, who is a separate entity from Sky Momo (the left one is the one that gets killed by a truck).

>>9922486
When I got my gba cart I checked every single game on this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvWo-Xh6vFI
And there were a shit ton of cute/girly games in there, sadly most of those games are japanese only.
Anyways I wrote down every game based on category
https://pastebin.com/3AaVkd1J
That's the "cute/girly/adventure" category I made so you'll find a few that aren't strictly girly but hope it helps.

Any of Taito’s platformers apply. Bubble bobble, Newzealand story, chack’n pop, the fairyland story, and even stuff like lunar loonies are all super cute girl approved games. That doesn’t mean they’re easy as shit either, newzealand story is fucking hard for how cute it is.

>>9920282

>>9907559
Japanese usually use roided/muscle guys in joke scenarios, they’re not considered "hot"
>>9916157
Kirby feels more like a guy to me. Most his transformations/abilities have a masculine attitude in them, e.g. cook, fighter, that "punk" scream ability im Super Star, etc.
>>9917562
Nothing girly about that. Clearly a game made by a guy for guys. School girl is used for cuteness factor most likely (see Japanese drawing them a lot, you wouldn’t think that Lain was made for a female audience, would you?)

>>9910529
I just that was a nude edit for the longest time

Holy shit. Thanks, anon! I appreciate the detailed list. Plenty of interesting titles to go through - this is very helpful.
I expect these types of games being mostly JP only so it's okay.

>>9923498
Magical Vacation is good too and has a fan translation.

>>9907528
Dr. Slump for Ps1 also had a fan translation.

>>9925932
I looked where I put that one and turns out it was in Jap RPG category.
Here is the whole list I made after checking every GBA game
https://pastebin.com/73zTieeV

I bet I still missed some games or are weirdly categorized but I mainly made it to decide what to play when I opened my GBA SP and was faced with thousands of roms.
I think some cutesy games escaped the cute category because they were primarily RPGs or Visual Novels (I'm sure I saw a few otome games there)

I had a lot of fun with this one when I was younger. A shame how many of these sort of sims were never localizated but on the flipside, learning Japanese or at least using MTL is 100% essential if you want more access to "girlish" games in general.

>>9927747
>learning Japanese or at least using MTL is 100% essential if you want more access to "girlish" games in general.
Why is Japan so girly?

>>9930231
They aren't, they just didn't see the audience of women and girls as something to avoid and instead marketed to them too.

>>9930231
Video games were constantly advertised to Japanese women, even during the 90s. You can see old TV commercials with them playing even "harder" games like Thracia 776. Wasn't like in Western countries such as the US where the hobby was once regarded as a social stigma and mostly aimed at autistic men.

Sylvanian Families: Otogi no Kuni no Pendant got a translation and it looks pretty girly. I will check it out later.

Female protagonist games are not "girly" games.

>>9926242
Speaking of otome games, was there any /vr/ related ones that existed during the 90s or so? The only series I could think of is Angelique.
When I think about it more, I never really saw many "girly" games or VNs prior to the 2000s. Most prominent ones are rather recent.

I like games with cute sanrio-style critters

Keroppi best Sanrio

Nah. Never had a problem with female protagonist games. I guess I was suppose to since executives thought that for some reason.

Watching shows like Slayers and Xena made me want to have a cool female travel companion instead of a male.

>>9909357
Uhhh anon. Do you really find basic girl outfits to be slutty?

>>9931286
That reminds me that there is a pokemon-like game with Sanrio characters: Sanrio Timenet: Kako Hen/ Mirai Hen.
They are not translated but hopefully they get a patch in the future (I mean, some people are translating Sanrio games recently.)

Magical Heroines Plus, a doujin fighting game featuring a bunch of Y2K-era magical girls.

Little Witching Mischiefs for the PlayStation is a 3D fighting/RPG title published by Bandai. It's a crossover game starring characters like Honey Kisaragi from Cutie Honey and Sally Yumeno from Sally the Witch and more. Being a game featuring all these 60s, 70s and 80s magical girls released in 1999 it's in an odd position as far as marketing but I suppose these are shows that saw frequent re-airing.

Anyway, it's developed by Toys for Bob and the game itself is literally their earlier title, The Unholy War but starring classic magical girls.

>>9930916
Yeah if you go to vndb and organize otome by year, the earliest (at least of the recorded ones) is exactly Angelique on 94'
If I had to guess, not many women had access and/or were interested in programming for the PC98 where a lot of earlier visual novels were created.

>>9907528
Does Samus count?

>>9907630
Not to mention it's based around Disney, the girliest possible choice of IP collection. And also Pixar for some reason, which is not girly.

>>9925829

>That's the "cute/girly/adventure" category I made so you'll find a few that aren't strictly girly but hope it helps.
Those Cinnamoroll look cute, but looking up gameplay videos they seem to be targeted toward very young children with how simple the gameplay is.

>>9931847
That's a shame but makes sense in a way, I suppose. Though, I feel like there has to be something that falls under it somewhat despite not being a full on otome.
That reminds me, 90s VNs like DESIRE and EVE Burst Error do exist and have female protagonists. I haven't played them yet so I have no clue if those games are very "girly". I wonder if anyone else here has, though. The writer is the same as the one who did YU-NO.

It was an apt question, you hypersensitive dullard.

>>9936679
No it wasn't, it was a pathetic way to bump a thread. Remember to dilate before offing yourself.

>>9936670
Feels like it's more Badtz Maru who was the one who appealed to guys more. I know both girls and guys who loved Keroppi even a girl who preferred him over the popular Sanrio characters like Kuromi and Hello Kitty. He's positive, family oriented and makes nice merchandise if he does appear. A little surprising he isn't more popular. The little frog is great.

>>9931728
Haha, why's that goofy android slut doing with those girls!

>>9936713
I mean, Keroppi placed 11 on last year's popularity poll so he is pretty popular all things considered.

>>9937002
Probably because she's one of OG magical girls, to important to leave her out of the crossover. But yeah, she's like somebody's big sister, hanging with the kids because parents told her to

>>9936713

>Before Lara Croft and Sailor Moon broke stereotypes
Go back to tumblr, tranny. Also fucking Metroid exists and Sailor Moon not only was a manga but it was the epitome of girlish stuff.

>>9939067
Also Sailor Moon was literally made for little girls

>>9939067
>Also fucking Metroid exists
>"actually you were playing a woman this entire time!": the speedtrooning ending.
That's not breaking a stereotype, that's being coy.
Also ironic you bring up tumblr while recommending Metroid, which houses the most troons out of every video game fanbase.

Also, Metroid didn't have "magical girl" elements until that Benimaru Itoh wrote up that Super Metroid comic, which Sakamoto became obsessed with and applied it to later games like Zero Mission and Other M.

How about actual retro games aimed at girls during the 90s? Pic related is from Rockett's New School. I remember this being a pretty fun point and click adventure game for what it is.

It's a Pokemon clone, of course it needs to have two versions.

A bit off topic, but I want to get into Cutie Honey, any show that's recommended first? I was thinking about starting with the original show but I'm not sure if it's fully subbed.

Regular Pacman was also targeted to mostly a female demographic if I remember correctly.

Just avoid Universe, it's not very good beyond what they hyped.
Start with manga or anime then just go onwards after Shin, Flash, etc.

Re: is okay on a comedic standpoint, typical gainax stuff and really short (3 episode OVA, first episode is the best imo)

The short answer is the lolicon movement.
At the start of the movement (1979) there was no media made for lolicons so they mostly watched anime and read manga starring and made for little girls. Stuff like Himitsu no Akko-chan.
As the movement gained steam they started having media made specifically for them e.g. Lolita Syndrome. But lolicons never really stopped watching girls shows.
Japan has always had some "unique" views about things like age of consent laws so the movement faced less resistance than it would in other places.
Once the barriers were broken down it became profitable to market media to BOTH girls and lolicons. So you end up with shows like Cardcaptor Sakura that are specifically marketed at both demographics.
Girly media in Japan thus has twice the customer base and is comparatively successful as a result.
For a while it looked like something similar might happen in the west with the rise of the brony movement, but that seems to have cooled off.

Lol how he lost to that ugly bitch

Japan also had a wide range of ages considered "loli" not just girls aged 10/12 or less, IE Lum was considered "loli chara" in a lot of magazines of the era and if you look up some old doujins you'll find most teenager anime girls being referred to as loli.

>Kirby's Dream Land 3
It even featured periods!

played pic-related awhile back. it was okay for a beginner's RPG, but the encounter rate and spaced-out save spots pissed me off. also, i'm disgusted how they somehow managed to fuck up Yuzurenai Negai using the SNES' soundfont.

how are the other Rayearth games in comparison?

>>9946258
somehow forgot pic, because i'm fucking retarded

wtf I love tumblr now

Cant say I ever gave a fuck about the gender of my protag, I just liked fun games.
I remember renting Valis for the SNES and loving it, little did I know it was such a big franchise and had way more games.
