VN of the Month January 1997 - Rookies

Ryouki no Ori Dai 2 Shou and Rookies are the masterpieces of January. But Rookies is a more traditional story-focused visual novel with charming characters and lots of kind humor. Rookies is VN of January 1997. 1. Watashi 私 ～わたし～ [970110] Pearl Soft Shizu is a shy high school student girl who wishes to change herself. One day day she gathers her will and starts acting. What she's gonna do? Well, there are lots of bran

VN of the Year 1996

The best year so far, actually. I really hope that I'll be able to say the same about every forthcoming year. 84 works during the year amounts for an average of 7 works each month - a very saturated year. Let's prolong the chart. VN per year Year Total     1991 75     1992

VN of the Month December 1996 - Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO

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 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

VN of the Month October 1996 - Bounty Hunter Rudy

Star Platinum, Angel Halo, Stone Walkers and Bounty Hunter Rudy are masterpieces of the month. That's a difficult choice! I believe that Bounty Hunter Rudy is the worthiest for being VN of October 1996 1. Girl 2 ガール２ [961001] Juice Reiko is a female tutor of three young girls. Here are three stories of what happened at the lessons. Game is focused on H events and the feature of the series is small windows that show on

VN of the Month September 1996 - Sakura Taisen

Ma Doll and Sakura Taisen are the masterpieces of the month, but I prefer Sakura Taisen as VN of the Month 1. Heartbeat Scramble ハートビートスクランブル [960906] Imagineer Co., Ltd. Game reproduces events of graduating school year, such as attending part-time job, participating in clubs and school festivals as well as getting along with the girls and inviting them on a date and maybe even spending vacations together with one of them.

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 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.

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.

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

Foreword: I erroneously marked this game as eroge and now it's the time to check out what it's really about.

Merry Go Round / メリーゴーランド [Mischief]

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

VN of the Month January 1996 - Ryuuki Denshou Dragoon

There are no masterpieces this month. I would not like to nominate bakage a winner and I have a bad aftertaste from Start Trap and Shizuku, so VN of January 1996 is Ryuuki Denshou Dragoon 1. Bind ~Kinbaku Jinmon Densetsu~ Bind ～緊縛尋問伝説～ [960112] Outou Shobou In Side 1 The content of the game can be easily deduced from its title ("Kinbaku Jinmon Densetsu" means the legend of bondage interrogation).
