     @merchantHelios I was all excited for that girls frontline series because they did that for the intro and it sucked https://youtu.be/vWuepjQSyvY

     @merchantHelios I feel like the sole millennial in a sea of zoomers here but I still don’t know how you all played games like,2 generations before anything I even saw as a kid.

     @RehnSturm256 @merchantHelios you can download the game in the first and last screenshots. It's called Yu-no and it's translated. It also looks great on a CRT.
     
     Download np21w or buy a cheap pc98 on yaj with a forwarder like fromjapan or zenmarket today (you know you want to) I own like 6 pc98s now I lost count

     @merchantHelios they were not shy or scared of natural eroticism in designs 😭 how I wish we could see such quality more to this day!

     @merchantHelios the dithering shading is what I love most about it, its so satisfying to look at

     So the dithering was done because the 9801 could only display 16 out of 4096 colors, and only the 9821 or models with Window Accelerators could do 256. To properly program the system you had to know color theory.
     
     The sound system on the other hand is a similar chip to the Neo-Geo and it shows for the 9801-86 card, while the 9801-26k was a YM2203. Both feature FM channels and PSG/SSG channels from the YM2149 (think Atari ST) giving it a distinct sound system. Drivers existed to also mutliplex the PCM channel meaning that many games used the PCM channel with multiple sampled sounds at once (on top of it having several PCM drum samples in the chip's ROM).

     The only barrier is that the debuggers for a long ass time sucked, there was little interest, and some games like C's Ware engine games have crazy text packing algorithms that make translating hard. The lack of knowledge around the PC-98 except for people into it and the language barrier and then finding out that half of those resources are scattered over dead sites and Twitter is a normie barrier.

     @captainmarvelfan1 @merchantHelios @RehnSturm256 I'm not sure of the 2nd or 3rd one but yuno is a weird point and click game where the prologue and epilogue are VN segments but the rest is a mix of a point and click and VN.
