The Three Sisters' Story (JAST, 1996) Status: Completable; graphics need polishing, script needs a lookover, intro script still missing. |
|
Runaway City (Tiare, 1995) Status: Completable; graphics need polishing, script needs a lookover, intro script still missing. |
|
Season of the Sakura (Tiare, 1996) Status: Completable; graphics need polishing, script needs a lookover, could use more special effects, intro script still missing. |
|
Angels' Eve Collection (JAST, 1995) Remakes of some of the earliest hentai games made. Not much in the way of plot or drama, as you may guess, but fascinating from a historical perspective. Status: Probably completable, except ending scripts are missing; graphics need polishing, script needs to be localised. |
|
Angels' Eve Collection 2 (JAST, 1995) More remakes of JAST's early games; these have a little more plot than the first collection, and the graphics are noticeably nicer. Status: Probably completable, except ending scripts are missing; graphics need polishing, script needs to be localised. |
|
Eden no Kaori (JAST, 1996) A murder mystery at a mansion, starring Joe the private investigator. Much less compulsive verb+nouning than in the earlier games. Some two dozen different characters, more than one ending. Status: Not completable, clickable map not implemented yet. Ending script missing, graphics need polishing, script needs to be localised. |
|
Shyuukan From H (JAST, 1997) I have no idea what's going on in this game, but it looks funny. Status: Not completable, clickable map not implemented yet. Intro and ending scripts missing, graphics need polishing, script needs to be localised. |
|
Magyokko Paradice (Tiare, 1996) This is the game I'm maybe most excited over. As far as I can tell, it's like Season of the Sakura but with magical girls. It's set in the same school. You even get some cameos, and the cast performs a nice song in the middle of the story. Status: Probably completable. Intro and ending scripts missing, graphics need polishing, screen scrolling effects missing, script needs to be localised. |
|
Setsujyuu ~ Yuganda Kioku (JAST, 1995) A student goes on a holiday at winter, and lots of exciting stuff happens. Status: Probably completable. Ending script missing, graphics need lots of polishing (in fact it might be a good idea to rip location graphics from other games to replace these awful grey digitised photographs), script needs to be localised. |
|
Tasogare no Kyoukai (Tiare, 1997) Our protagonist arrives at a remote village in a quasi-modern setting, and meets the locals. Bad stuff happens, and only you can save the missing girls from a first-person view dungeon! No RPG elements as far as I can tell, but it looks interesting. Status: Not really playble, needs a clickable map as well as a first-person view mode. Intro and ending scripts missing, graphics need polishing, script needs to be localised. |
|
Transfer Student (JAST, 1995) Don't confuse this with the completely weird localisation by the same name. This is the original version, presented as a proper verb-noun visual novel instead of that daydreaming mess with an excitement meter. Status: Probably completable. Intro and ending scripts missing, graphics need polishing (probably best to rip the graphics from the more colorful remake), script needs to be localised. |
In addition to these, there are a few more titles with partial support:
Vanishing Point (Tiare, 1995) is an adventure/JRPG hybrid, allowing you to freely roam around the same town Tiare's other games take place in. Has a great, if short, soundtrack. Needs serious rebalancing to be fun.
DEEP (JAST, 1994) is an adventure with first-person combat and a rocking soundtrack. But the older engine version is giving me trouble, and the background graphics are ugly digitised photographs, including a few that I seem to be unable to decompress correctly.
Super Ultra Muttin Puripuri Cyborg Maririn DX (JAST, 1994) is also an adventure with first-person combat, with a decidedly wacky bent. I have the older scripting format mostly worked out now.
Tenshitachi no Hohoemi (JAST, 1996) is a dating sim, kind of like True Love, complete with chibi animations, only you already failed at school and instead are tutoring three girls, trying to get their statistics high. The new interface is the main problem.
Nocturnal Illusions and Mayclub - I can extract the graphics and music from the DOS versions, but there is no point adding further support since the highly polished remakes already run smoothly on VileVN.
In addition to all those, I am looking into being able to run the acclaimed GaoGao series by FourNine, and I have a potential list of some two dozen other PC-98 games by various companies that appeared particularly interesting and would be awesome to support. That includes an Elf RPG series...
