Famicom dominoes? No, just me (re)alphabetizing the collection... First of the year cleaning/organizing. Game room is full. I think I'm gonna purge some stuff and will unironically maybe acquire only ~20 retro games this year, so hopefully just minor adjustments to my shelves from here on out.

That's beautiful dunpeal2064. What a different time when game boxes were considered art unto themselves.

Almost all eroge. The impression I have of the PC-98 is that it's almost all eroge anyway lol

Almost all eroge. The impression I have of the PC-98 is that it's almost all eroge anyway lol My impression is you can more or less separate it that way: in the '80s, lots of normal games (and maybe *some* eroge), '90s, lots of eroge and some normal games (especially RPGs). That's because Japanese computer gaming in general was still kind of mainstream in the '80s, and by the '90s it became much more niche and you started seeing tons of doujinshi and eroge, and even the normal games were from typically from tiny companies.

I recall someone actually did the math on the PC-98 library (Or what we know of it, still undumped stuff), and it was 53% eroge, or otherwise 18+ games. So its only half eroge. Lol. There's still plenty of good stuff, even in the 90s, that isn't eroge, and if a game having adult content isn't an automatic turn-off, a bunch of the 18+ games are still made extremely well in my opinion. Some of them suck and are basically just porn, no doubt, but there are some genuinely good ones out there, some good enough that they still appealed with their 18+ content removed, like Yu-No, EVE Burst Error, and the like. I do think people overestimate the amount of eroge on the computer, in part because a lot of the non-adult games got ported elsewhere, or have more popular sequels elsewhere. So stuff like Ys, Dragon Slayer, Snatcher, Policenauts, and even Corpse Party and Touhou don't necessarily get associated with NEC PCs (many were also released on other computers too). So I think the "exclusives" or the games you have to go to a PC-98 for end up seeming even more adult-themed. I totally never expect anyone else to actually be interested in this stuff, but hopefully there is at least some morbid curiosity in my continued deep dive into the computer.
