If you're extending a history back to the 1980's, the whole PC vs Console idea didn't exist back then. There was a whole continuum of computer-like devices that played games, they were all competing and nobody was on a "PC team" or "Console team". A lot of the systems were made by relatively fly-by-night companies that came and went, programmers were more used to packing up and moving to a completely different architecture because someone went out of business. Different countries and regions has their own completely different devices, it wasn't a global business yet. So I'd bet that a fair amount of why Japanese devs moved to the NES was because it was the first thing that became a huge world-wide success. They jumped to consoles because their console won the battle royale. If the MSX or whatever other PC-like system had taken over the world they probably would have gone with that, piracy or no piracy. VVV edit: just trying to make a point about people framing it with the PC vs Console idea, I know nothing about pre-NES japan Klyith fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Oct 16, 2018 |

I'm not so sure. They hardly had any domestic PC development going, only arcade. Porting from arcade to PC was pretty rare in the 80s (though it did happen.)

The premise is definitely something, but it's not tagged with Sexual Content (or even Nudity) so I imagine it's pretty lightweight all things considered.

It's also by ebi-hime, who mostly has a history of making things that aren't weird porn. Here's an interview where she talks about it: quote:I was inspired to write this story after stumbling across the ‘grandmother x grandson incest’ tag on VNDB. I was surprised this tag existed, and I thought it was funny such a niche fetish featured in enough VNs to warrant a content tag in the first place. After looking through some of these VNs, I saw that the grandmother love interests looked rather young and good-looking for grandmothers, and I thought, ‘what if I wrote a story where a more traditional-looking grandmother transforms into one of these impossibly cute “anime” grandmothers overnight? How would her grandson react to that?!’ Some of my ideas are kind of weird, I guess. :I So you cannot in fact date your grandmother in the game, but the original idea was inspired by games where you can. That's something, I guess.

That's actually a little fantastic. I'd like to see more anime games that seem like setups for weird porn and turn out to be entirely clean.

(including Castlevania which is naturally part of a whip damage boost combination, and Metal Gear) The Commodore 64 at least if Game Dev Tycoon is any indication was one of the major competitors to the PC platform, and I think while the Amiga has a reputation for being used more for art programs it STILL has a dedicated, slightly scary fan community.

The weirdest thing about many of these visual novels (and anime in general) to me is how little sex and romance there actually is - a lot of it seems to be just teasing and the characters being awkward around each other with only ocasional nudity . It’s not even proper porn!

Games for the Commodore 64 kept selling well into the 90s, when the hardware was going on 10 years old. Looking at the IBM PC of that time, it's no small wonder the PC was the perpetual loser, as it was 3-4 time more expensive and had CGA graphics (4 colors!) and very rudimentary beeping sounds. So many good games were made for the C64 first, then ported to the PC (or never even ported at all). The Amiga was a pretty mainstream thing in Europe from 1988 to say 1995 or so, but I gather that the U.S. community was smaller. The PC overtook Amiga in terms of audio and visuals in the 90s, with super VGA and soundblaster cards, but it was still more expensive. The European demo scene probably makes up most of the small remnant of Amiga users still out there, which explains why its users have slightly unusual tastes. (Amiga OS is still available for purchase and [url="http://hyperion-entertainment.biz/index.php/where-to-buy/direct-downloads/188-amigaos-314"=a new version was recently released[/url]...) I guess American kids all got Nintendos for Christmas and forgot all about PC gaming until Doom came out...

The IBM PC won over all the commodores and amigas and apples because IBM was a 500lb gorilla who knew how to sell stuff to businesses, because the architecture had open standards that created more secondary market for expansion hardware, and because in the late 80s the PC clones price-competed their way to dominance. Games are not on the list of reasons the 8086+DOS PC won the 80s. Games do have relevance to the Apple vs PC battle in the 90s.

True dat. In the mid to late 80's, the C64 blew the doors off PCs despite costing a fraction. And yeah, some fan communities have a scary longevity. Remember the Gold Box games from SSI? They released a game maker for it in '93, Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures. It still has an active fanbase today. http://frua.rosedragon.org/index.htm

Games are not on the list of reasons the 8086+DOS PC won the 80s. Games do have relevance to the Apple vs PC battle in the 90s. All of the above, plus Commodore made some absolutely horrendously bad business decisions. The level of mismanagement Jack Tramiel put that company through borders on the criminal (and indeed, they were often sued by disgruntled business partners). For example, they failed to follow up on the success of the C64 with a next generation machine, instead resting on their laurels at the bottom price bracket of the market. They then bought up Amiga Inc almost as an afterthought, and promptly failed to properly market the Amiga 1000, making it a proper flop when it came out. It took until the Amiga 500 before their marketing department figured out what they were selling. There is much written about the incompetence and aggressive business practices of Jack Tramiel, for example I highly recommend this blog on gaming history: C64 Part 1: https://www.filfre.net/2012/12/the-commodore-64/ Part 2: https://www.filfre.net/2012/12/business-is-war/ On the origins of the Amiga: https://www.filfre.net/2015/03/the-68000-wars-part-1-lorraine/

My dad had a VHS tape that was just an advertisement tape for the Commodore Amiga 500. I used to watch that every so often because it was just so cool to 7 year old me, and seemed a lot more advanced than our Commodore 128 (that we pretty much used just in C64 mode for games).
