Interesting or Cool Looking PC-98 Games
Stuff that looks really cool or things that interest me… may even try my hand at English translation work if I can get to grips with them.
Each game includes some sample screenshots (not all of them mine), information about the media the game uses (including what those files are called in the more common PC-98 software collections), plus, in some cases a walk-through of how to install and start the game.
Some of the games I've also pre-packaged into hard-drive install friendly versions, with start files and metadata and artwork suitable for launching through my PC98 Launcher front-end application (running on the real or emulated hardware).
