This #PasokonSunday, it's time for PC-98 recommendations charts!
It's been forever since I promised these, but they're finally happening. 5 infographics, 84 selections, 12700069420 hours in MS Paint.
So many games you can pick up & try right now, listed with icons & quick info!
Pt 2: action, xRPGs, and shooters!
Quick facts on these reccographics:
•Nearly all games are SFW
•Most games require relatively little set-up thanks to pre-made images/emulators
•Twitter's crop changes probably messed up how these look—apologies in advance
Spread 'em around!
My usual emulation path:
•Windows users can buy some games from @project_egg & emulate that way
•RetroArch now has solid PC-98 emulation via Neko Project II—you’ll need to find ROM/font files and the games somewhere on Internet Archive
•Archive also has a Neo Kobe emulator pak
Part 3: adventures & sim-oriented titles!
This part was hard just because of the scope of sims the PC-98 had, plus the dearth of less pervy ADVs. More work to edit, too, but it's all worth it in the end!
These will look real nice on my Carrd whenever that goes up.
"Gee, they're mostly in Japanese! How do I play 'em?"
Support fan translation! @kuoushi @hallwaytaupe @SnowyAria @slowbeef @EsperKnight @surt_r @BabaJeanmel @celcion and more have PC-98 projects & more on other J-PCs.
There's also DeepL + OCRs and Textractor until said patches.
Pt 4: the wallflower corner, with doujin games, genre combos, and truly out-there stuff.
There's only more infographic after this! Care to guess what's featured in that one?
Shoutout to @Macaw45 for info on FEED and for streaming Zeta. And to @obskyr for Azusa 999's fan patch.
@Macaw45 @obskyr Pt 5: a grand finale of games topping fans' translation shortlists! + a concluding addendum section
Feel free to RT & spread these around! I'd love to drop into a thread one day & see people referencing these reccographics, or for someone to improve on this format.
Updated Pt 5 to fix some mistakes, namely not having a pic of Corpse Party PC-98 in the appropriate place
Further shout-outs to @Radical_R @MrRichard999 @romtranslator @Nana_VS_Nana and @Gu4n for their J-PC fan translation work! I don't like to miss names, but it happens.
Here's higher-res PNG versions (150 DPI, preserving the images better) for you to save: drive.google.com/file/d/1sIcOrx…
I want to eventually do versions with 1:1 ratio screenshots (640x400), so let me know if that would be useful sooner rather than later.
