I love the art and sound of PC98 games, I just wish they weren’t all so full of porn.
EDIT: The author of this article is dead to me. They called Hideo Kojima “problematic.”
This author is a serious prude. They have an interesting definition of Otaku and makes it seem as if all doujin were porn.
Japan’s culture of hermetic male obsessives…sort of an primordial Incel, if you will
yeah, s/he does not seem to have any clue at all
He, apparently:
Biz Davis is a producer & writer who’s spent 20 years in the world of underground music, events and eventually advertising. His work focuses on obsessives and their obsessions, circular economies and cyberpunk aesthetics.
His work focuses on obsessives and their obsessions
then he should know better than make the false equivalence that otakus are all incels I guess
Pc-98 games were brilliant stories brought to life.
That was an intersting read. Anyone have links to these old games?

Little bit of everything. Just do a filter to break it down to software.
Quite a few of these games have been translated too, though you will need an emulator to run them, and it’s not easy since the only emulators I know of are in Japanese.
Very cool, thank you.
Ah, I recognize the style but didn’t realize that it was specific to one computer. It’s cool to see various niche traced back to where they came from, over 20 years later and one PC is still having ripple effects on art today
