Can anybody recommend me any eroge games?

[Aussie2B]

Heh, is everyone afraid of this topic? Okay, I'll bite. :P Do you want modern or classic? PC or console? Visual novel, dating sim, anything? I'm assuming English is a must?

For just a general recommendation, Welcome to Pia Carrot!! is a high quality game (see here: http://www.honestgamers.com/reviews/3681.html), and the PC-FX version, often considered the best, has been fan translated: http://projects.mattsmessyroom.com/welcometopiacarrot/

What's awesome is that you can just burn the patched game to a disc and play it on a real PC-FX, but assuming you don't have this obscure system, you can always just emulate.

It's not that people are afraid of the topic, but rather than most of us aren't familiar at all with that genre.

Oh, and as a note: people, please keep your answers PG-rated at the most. kthx.

Umm...isan't eroge defined by its sexual content?

I'm mainly looking for romantic games. The year doesn't matter. You hear the music here, and here? I found it easy listening at about 4 am, 5 am this morning, staying up all night. Although strangely now that it's daytime I'm no longer in the mood.

But thanks for those links Aussie2B; I'll check them out, and anything anyone else mentions.

Well, if you want eroge that has great music, you could look into the titles that Ryu Umemoto composed for. Not only is the music highly regarded, but the games are too (YU-NO, Eve burst error, etc.) Here's an article by a friend of mine about YU-NO: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/yuno/yuno.htm

And while I'm linking to HG101, you could give True Love a try: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/truelove/truelove.htm

There's nothing especially remarkable about True Love, it's basically Tokimeki Memorial with sex, but given its historical impact for the genre, it's sort of seen as the quintessential hentai game in the US.

Thanks. I 'd sen that article but forgot abotu it. They took the title of the game from Harlan Ellison ("Beast that shouted love..")

At what point did the PC-98 lose that FM sound that games like Sorcerian and Snatcher are known for, that you hear on the Hoot sound emulator? (Maybe Wikipedia answers that: "NEC's decision to work with Microsoft to offer a PC-98 compatible version of Windows 95 could be seen as the first step towards the PC-98's downfall, as consumers were no longer required to have an NEC-built system to run software designed for Windows.")

There was this one tune I recorded years ago, but I never knew the name of it because it was in Japanese. Here, let me upload it. Probably not from an eroge game, but what the hey, maybe somebody knows it and can tell me: http://youtu.be/mJT5N2NAR6g


Actually there was two. It sounds more lovey-dovey, so maybe it is eroge. http://youtu.be/jN630lhwYCU

[stalepie]

Speaking of "lovey-dovey" I searched that word out of boredom and one of the first links on Google is this!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8zo5-EutB8

T=Ara!!! Yess!!! Now I'm totally in the mood for an eroge game!!


man, if only they'd use this kind of music and dubstep and other cool stuff in video games. Can you imagine Uncharted 4 with dubstep and k-pop? I can!!@ It'd be so muhc more fun than that stereotypical who-would-have-guessed-it Indiana Jones movie crap..

And then you hear music like this during a boss fight? It would be intense!!! And scary


But video games are always so boring.

Did he do Divi Dead as well? That seems to be the only one of note that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.

[stalepie]

Thanks everyone for the replies! Will look up these titles later

Nah, according to VGMdb, that was Masafumi Ogata.

Oh, that reminds me, Hiroki Kikuta, the composer for Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Koudelka, etc., has done a few hentai soundtracks. I know nothing about the quality of the games and they probably aren't available in English, but I can vouch for the music being great, assuming you like his style. They sound a lot like Secret of Mana actually, if Secret of Mana was a happy-go-lucky dating sim, haha.

Which Air? the tv series or movie? Both were somewhat different but the same in the end. I think I preferred the movie simply because the girl's illness was not just a case of the jitters. That and the ending of the tv series just had me scratching my head when the events repeated but without the guy.

I watched the TV series. Haven't seen the movie version yet.

By PG-rated, I mean to not post youtube videos and what not. It is possible to answer the OP's question without adding graphics to the post. Know what I mean?

Yeah sorry it was more a question of clarification then anything else since people tend to use the various Japanese genra terms interchangeably.
