VN of the Month July 1992 - Phobos

July 1992 has some fierce competition. I consider all of Armist , Phobos , Shinjuku Monogatari and Can Can Bunny Premiere as masterpieces. But since I rate serious SF stories above the others,  Phobos is VN of July 1992. 1. Armist Armist [920703] Basement 1 2 You're the head of detective agency Armist and among your assistats are two deminoids or in other words androids with animal features.

VN of the Year 1992 - Phobos

Year 1992 was much to my liking with few eroge and a great number of elaborate plots.    The notable features of year 1992 included: - Implemented censorship rules resulted in private parts censored and at some cases companies set self-censorship to a degree when no private parts were ever on a screen or sometimes even to no nudity at all - Regulations led to bigger emphasis on the story and experiments with the genres - Horror mysteries with gore pictures started t

VN of the Month April 1993 - Quintia Road 2

There aren't masterpieces this month, but I find Quintia Road 2 to be the most interesting story-wise and thus it's VN of the month. 1. Mahou no Shougakusei Clit-chan 魔法の小学生クリットちゃん [930491] Toukyou Club A letter comes to a man living alone.

VN of the Month May 1993 - Nova

Prostudent G and Nova are the masterpieces of the month, but when there's a choice I'd choose anything over bakage and thus Nova is VN of May 1993. 1. Noltia ノルティア [930514] Flat 1 Noltia contains three scenarios, which are not related to each other story-wise. All the three share traditional Japanese adventure gameplay, with "Look - Talk - Think" verb command pattern, no inventory, no puzzles, and plenty of text. The

VN of the Month July 1993 - Bunretsu Shugoshin Twinkle Star

Words Worth and Bunretsu Shugoshin Twinkle Star are the star pair of July 1993. But it would only be fair if a visual novel and not an RPG-heavy game was VN of July 1993 and thus Bunretsu Shugoshin Twinkle Star has the upper hand. 1. Houma Hunter Lime Dai 02 Wa 宝魔ハンターライム 第０２話 [930709] Silence 1 In this episode Lime disguises herself as a schoolgirl to detect a BEM who was sighted in girls' locker room.

VN of the Month August 1993 - Houma Hunter Lime Dai 03 Wa

A very weak month. But if choosing among ero-centered games, a mahjong game and an animated little masterpiece, I'd choose the last one. Houma Hunter Lime Dai 03 Wa is VN of August 1993. 1. Houma Hunter Lime Dai 03 Wa 宝魔ハンターライム 第０３話 [930806] Silence1 In this episode a fit of jealousy on Lime's side sends Bass to the hospital.
