The PC98 thread returns. Our Steam group (called PC98 and Doujin) now has 12 members. We are a group of enthusiasts for Japanese microcomputer gaming and its ports. We have many fond memories of it, if indirectly playing its DOS/early Windows ports. We have only one collector of the actual hardware so far, but we believe there are a lot of people who would be interested in its emulation. Doujin, whether directly related to the pre-Windows era of Japanese computing or not, is also welcome (we are also pleased to provide safe amnesty for refugees from /jp/). I would like to see a few more wizards in our group, but anyone who is interested/experiencing these games for the first time are also quite welcome. http://tss.asenheim.org/ is not affiliated with our group (yet?) but offers a selection of PC98 games emulated online. If you haven't tried PC98 yet, this is an excellent hassle-free way to do so. PC98/General.

I'm thinking of getting hold of the Farland Story games. I've read there are six of 'em, and they've all been translated into english. Style of play seems to be like the Shining Force games, which intrigues me. Time to go install T98-Next, I suppose. >That feel when so few search results for screencaps

http://hardcoregaming101.net/flamezapper/flamezapper.htm The game is available for download here. If it's true that this is doujin, it's incredible. I also see some classic late 80's/early 90's space opera influence in this game.

>>21148483 The majority of the emulation community for PC98 is probably centered around shmups, not dating sims

>>21147413 You should also check out Garudius '95, made by the same team. It's a pretty cool Gradius fangame for the PC-98. They also ported the very first Gradius to it.

Has anyone played Last Armageddon? Apparently it's about demons versus aliens on a post-apocalyptic earth.

Square and Enix both made hentai games before they merged, with the Enix games having lots of gore. What were their names?

>>21155081 >Much later in the game, concurrent themes including Adolf Hitler,[8] war,[8] creating a perfect race of people,[8] and the destruction of humanity in the year 1999 are revealed to the player inside one of the robot's main bases.[8] Why isn't this translated yet, /vg/?

Hooollllyyyy shit. Kotsujin is whooping my ass, but shit sure looks nice for the period. Plus, you can set it to 60 frames. Talk about swank. I seriously need to train my eyes to keep track of all these little things better. I'm not used to this sort of frantic, twitch gameplay. RPGs have dulled my reflexes. How lame.

Well, I'm for bed, myself. After work tomorrow, I'm thinking of trying out those Farland Story games. Have a good one, people. Keep on fighting the good fight.
