VN of the Month June 2000 - Age Maniax ~Isumi Yon Shimai Saigo no Hi~

There are two masterpieces this month - Age Maniax ~Isumi Yon Shimai Saigo no Hi~ and Hateshinaku Aoi, Kono Sora no Shita de..., but the winner is Age Maniax, one of the most entertaining bakage I've played so far. As usual, I'll pour all my admiration in a review coming along with the video playthrough. 1. Lavender [000602] For Main character suddenly acquires an unstable "predictive ability" that he can not control. He has to see near future against his will. So started t

VN of the Month May 2000 - Purepure

Quite a bland month with few games. There aren't masterpieces this month, but I still need to choose the game of the month that I would record on video. So I need to choose something without gameplay elements, too much insult and not too evident plot. The only game that suits my demands is Purepure, and thus it's the game of the month that deserves a video playthrough. 1. Costume☆Paradise ~Cinderella Rhapsody~ こすちゅうむ☆パラダイス ～シンデレラ狂想曲～ [000512] Rhapsody A huge entertainm

VN of the Month February 1996 - DIES IRAE

There aren't masterpieces this month. My personal favorite is San Shimai due to it being my first visual novel, but I rate DIES IRAE even higher and nominate it for VN of the Month. 1. Exciting Milk Dai 1 Wa エキサイティングみるく第１話 [960201] Silence 22nd century.

VN of the Month March 1996 - Mujintou Monogatari 3 - A.D. 1999 Tokyo

Mujintou Monogatari 3 - A.D. 1999 Tokyo is the only masterpiece of the month. 1. Sex 2 [960301] 1 2 Sex 2 has the same basic premise as its predecessor, which is easy to deduce from the game's title. It's all about engaging in the titular pleasurable activity, and doing it in various "creative" ways. Unlike the first Sex, there is only one girl in Sex 2: Ayaka, the cute flower-raising character from Satyr, another game by the same compa

Merry Go Round / メリーゴーランド [Mischief]

Ushinawareta Rakuen / 失われた楽園 [Silky's]

VN of the Month May 1996 - Rouge no Densetsu

There aren't masterpieces this month, but I like Rouge no Densetsu the most this month. 1. Onna no Ko no Shikumi 女の子の仕組み [960501] Libido Three sisters Miyu, Shoko and Mirei tell the stories where they confess their secrets. Short ero-centered loli stories.   2. Rouge no Densetsu ルージュの伝説 [960510] D.O. 1 2 3 Long time ago, a legendary hero de

VN of the Month June 1996 - Es no Houteishiki

Kakyuusei  and Es no Houteishiki are masterpieces of the month, but my favorite is Es no Houteishiki and furthermore it's played like a regular novel and can be enjoyed nowadays. 1. Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Houseki RADICAL DREAMERS -盗めない宝石- [960601] Square Co. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Radical Dreamers is a text-based adventure game taking place after the SNES RPG Chrono Trigger.

Es no Houteishiki / Ｅｓの方程式 [Abodagio Powers]

Foreword: I did not want to review it. But then I watched the hentai OVA of its preuel - Mystery of the Necronomicon (黒の断章 Kuro no Danshō) and it's a total blast. I highly recommend to watch it to everyone. A very memorable and bloody occult detective story. There was no anime version of the sequel, so I rushed in.

VN of the Month July 1996 - Kizuato

Kizuato, NOëL NOT DiGITAL and Pia Carrot e Youkoso!! ~We've Been Waiting for You~ are masterpieces of the month, but Kizuato is the most fundamental one and thus is VN of the Month 1. Viper-BTR ~Mahou no Tobakushi Totokaru Chomi~ ＶＩＰＥＲ－ＢＴＲ ～魔法の賭博師トトカル☆チョミ～ [960705] Sogna 1 2 Ruri and her dice familiars, Sai and Coro, return in the sequel to the story presented in VIPER-V12.

Be-Yond ~Kurodaishou ni Mirareteru~ / ビ・ ヨンド ～黒大将に見られてる～ [Silky's]

Foreword: I hate bakage. And yet I'm reviewing yet another bakage. Why? Mostly because together with YU-NO, these are the last two works of the Great Elf/Silky's team, after that Elf is going to loose too many staff members and is going to rerelease old works for Windows, stamp eroge works alongside with slice of life works. No more crazy adventure spirit afterwards. It's a historical moment to visual novels industry. Oh and I liked the two hentai OVAs of it immensely back then. I'll assume ever

VN of the Month September 1996 - Sakura Taisen

VN of the Month November 1996 - Mashou no Kao

After starry October nothing really shines this month. If we narrow down the candidates I'd have to choose from Mashou no Kao, High School Days, Sotsugyou Shashin 2 ~Raspberry Dream~, Tsuiokuand Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: Hihoushima Arata Naru Sangeki. Last one is out as PS1 exclusive (win version nowhere to be found). Sotsugyou Shashin 2 is out as a difficult type of game for modern players. Tsuioku is way too obscure. High School Days is a really nice game, but even warm vanilla school game

Kichikuou Rance and Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO are masterpieces of the month, but even Rance can't compete with YU-NO this month. 1. Kousoku Inran Jugyou Tokareta Ribbon 拘束 淫爛授業 解かれたリボン [961205] Persian Soft Mayu is a female student who is in secret relationship with another girl Minako.

VN of the Month July 1997 - Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 1: Nijiiro no Seishun

There are no masterpieces this month. Main candidates are Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 1: Nijiiro no Seishun and Shinseiki Evangelion Koutetsu no Girlfriend, but the latter one has little in the story department, it's more of a bakage for fans, so my choice is Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 1: Nijiiro no Seishun that was a very fresh game with those mini-games incorporated. It's only shortcoming is not sufficient length, but overall it's a very good quality product
