How does /vr/ feel about old eroge and/or dating simulators?

Here you can see one of the more famous ones, original White Album written by Harada Udaru.

Yu-No is considered the gold standard as a game. Plenty of us have nostalgia for like True Love or Fatal Relation or even Dragon Knight and other early English translations but most "dating sims" actually fall pretty short of being "games". VNs have their own particular appeal.

it's a really sad genre of game to play. like really really sad.

not hating because i can see why people would play it. but that's some lonely ass shit, tbqh family computer.

As if it's worse than spending your time playing children's games for the sake of nostalgia. How is it any different from a grown-up woman playing with barbie dolls? It's not.

Anyway, I like them. /vr/ recommended me night slave and it was good.

I'm not playing Barney's Hide & Go Seek on Sega Genesis, homeboy. And you're absolutely right about it not being any different from a grown-up woman playing with Barbie dolls -- which is sad and ridiculous.

You're assuming way too much, friend.

They're great. Dating sims are still a bit overwhelming for my Japanese skills. I tried Dôkyûsei and gave up after an hour because I had piled up dozens of new words to learn.
I did manage to get through Pia Carrot on the Saturn after I had completed the translated PC-FX port a few years ago.

I also replayed Night Slave and finally understood what was going on.

I fell in love hard with Misaki in White Album.

I like actual sims like Kakyuusei and Tokimemo, and adventure games with some exploration aspect to them like Doukyuusei, but I'm not much for just plain novels.

Waiting 2 hours for your 2400b modem to download one crappy pixelized picture was already too much of a game. Never saw a need to make it even harder.
