During Halloween I talked about the retro gaming visual novel Dead of the Brain on PC-98 (also available on MSX and the Sharp X68000) and I was A) surprised how many views it received and B) surprised how many people asked for more visual novel content / retro japanese PC Gaming content! So I decided to start a new "when I feel like it series"....Just Here For The Vibes...because this is all in Japanese!

Up first: Cyberpunk on the PC-98. Two games...Possessioner and X: Girl Cyberpunk Adventure. Possessioner has some of the best pixel art and dithering I have ever seen in a VN game...and it has some pretty awesome chip tunes and an rpg battle mechanic that I can't quite figure out...but it certainly has a vibe!
X: Girl is more Cyberpunk / Neo Noir where you play as a hard boiled detective searching areas and interviewing people you meet. It is made by the same developers as Dead of the Brain on PC-98 / PC-Engine...so it has that same sort of vibe going on. Another awesome visual novel / point and click adventure game you should definitely check out.
Sadly neither has an english translation rom patch...so its Google translate or you better read Japanese! But I love retro PC games so let's hope this series does well so there can be a part 2!
Both games played via video game emulation: Neko Project II
