Valkyrie: TPB is a pretty good adult fighting game developed by "Discovery Software" in the vein of Advanced Variable Geo, but it was in some ways more advanced and polished, though I can't speak for the framerate or animation. It deals with an ordinary Japanese high school student named Hatsumi Tarou who is one day visited by a cat. As fate would have it, the cat wasn't an ordinary cat, but a creature from another world, the Magical World. As it turns out, the "cat" explains that once approximately every 1200 years, his world holds a competition where beautiful, powerful "magical witches" (or magical girls / Mahou Shoujo if you prefer) fight to become the new queen of the world, and they scout for worthy humans to act as an observer to the battles. It has come down to the six most powerful and the last one standing gets to face the reigning champion. Obviously, "you" were chosen and you get to choose one of the six you want to personally manage.

Visually, the game is adequate if not above average. The animation is pretty choppy, but it just seems to be pretty natural for some of these PC-98 games, though the framerate has little impact on the controls, which respond well. More than that, the backdrops have some detail and the characters are presented well enough. The music is pretty good and the gameplay is perhaps a little ahead of its time as characters can double jump, execute desperation attacks, and even air block. The game comes with features standard to any fighting game (except for the adult CG viewer, which not every game has). The game is kinda cheap, but the A.I. is unbelivably predictable, though you'll think they cheat like crazy at first since they can grab and throw you in sometimes impossible scenarios. This video covers the first two battles in the story mode, where we use Momoko and fight Sari and Moe (who sure enough looks pretty Moe-inspired). Graphic material is censored. I'm actually surprised this game even asks if you're 18+ upon boot-up too.
