Much fun has been had about the high lewd to in-game pic ratio in the game covers I've been scanning. While hilarious, in the world of #PC98, this doesn't mean the games are bad, or an afterthought.🧵 I think the higher-ups / marketing guys just had a "firm" stance on which "assets" to promote 😹
wondering about those totally trashed and shockingly overpriced computers you often see on suruga. did they really pay ~50% of their asking price when buying those in, as per their normal kaitori system? no chance in hell, right? cos they'd be grossly overpaying for absolute junk that never sells

this is a great one. generally been hard to find under 10k (if available at all), but a few cheaper copies have popped up recently. here's the best one i spotted www.suruga-ya.jp/product/deta...
@krugman.net A title like this seems like the kind of game you'd recommend me to buy off Suruga-ya for 3000yen

i always find this cover interesting. you'd think it's a flight sim or an addon campaign to some established series, but no, it's daisenryaku, the first one. does that english sound cool enough to forego the need to include the *actual* name? same thing on spine and back

if by "pills" they mean google's apparent ideological shifts after dropping their original motto, "don't be evil", then yes, i concur - they're a constant source of headaches

latest in Reefer Madness at Suruga Warehouse: they restocked a rare game that says in the back that it doesn't come with a physical manual. then they somehow missed that, marked the game "manual missing", and gave it a giant discount 😹 my copy from YAJ had trashed disks, so this saved my butt lol

suruga-ya's end of year discounts are nuts, btw, and so is the pricing of new arrivals. santa's little elves are clearly smoking crack at the warehouse again...

yeah no, チョット ヨッテ イカナイ makes zero sense to me outside of a flirtatious context. if they wanted to avoid that connotation, they could've picked *any other phrase* 😹
I got curious about the manga and at least the one artist figured out the problem with it 😅

1990s had its issues, but wtf is all this dumb shit going on today? i want absolutely none of it, and there's zero signs of anything being about to get better. great fucking century, hitting the shitter in 2008

man this screenshot gave me the "only available as a download from our webpage that disappeared in 1998" vibe, but it turns out it's included on disk 1 of shuwa system trading's doujin shuusaku collection 1, rofl 😹 instructions to run it in the comments:
I must find this game. It's called Advanced Dogiemon and it seems to be a PC98 game. I found another picture on the old Twitter
