Hello people,
just a small thread to advertise my PC-98 translation projects a bit, as I know some of you might be interested
I'll include the age rating and eventual content warnings so you know what to expect.
All games are fully playable on real hardware and emulators alike.
ORIGINAL TLs
Night Slave (February 2024) (warning: adult content)
(Hacking by ValleyBell and Kirinn B.)
An awesome action game reminiscent of the Assault Suit series, but with lesbian sex scenes inbetween the missions. Has a surprisingly decent plot, great soundtrack an a pretty smooth gameplay considering, well, you're on PC-98. Had already been "translated" by Retronomicon but with a butchered script and a horrible hack relying on a custom font. This one is accurate to the original script, have translated graphics, and is fully real hardware compatible.

Shangrlia 2 (October 2023) (Warning: adult content)
(Hacking by tomyun and Alpharobo)
Another T-RPG by Elf. It's both beautiful and really challenging. I planned to do a simple menu patch, but the game is so great that I thought it deserved a full patch, despite the shitty writing ^^

Exciting Milk (August 2023) (All ages)
(Hacking by Alpharobo and Kirinn B)
A short, 2-episode ADV game by Silence, with the same engine as Guynarock and Lime. Strong sentai vibes in this one. You get barely 20 minutes of gameplay out of the whole thing, but the animations are stellar.
Download 1.0 here.
Jewel Bem Hunter Lime (August 2023) (PG12 - Expect a bit of fanservice)
(Hacking by Alpharobo & Kirinn B)
A collection of 12 short adventure games dealing with two demons trying to retrieve 6 power gems in order to save humanity from total destruction. These are pretty linear games, but have a gorgeous artstyle and excellent animations. And most of all, they're hilarious. Once again, Alpharobo made wonders in hacking the engine, and Kirinn B in hacking the graphics format.

Holy Girl Force Lakers II (November 2022) (Warning: Adult Content)
(Hacking by Alpharobo & Kirinn B, additional graphics by Anata)
Sequel to the first game, and a huge step up from it. Better graphics, harder challenge, cheesier story, more variety in ennemies and available strategies. One of my personal PC-98 favorites.
Everything's translated so far. The cherry on the top is that half a chapter that was missing from the game because of an error has been restored, too!
Download 1.1 here.
Guynarock 2 (November 2022) (Warning: Nudity and body horror, not recommended under 16)
(Alpharobo's project)
A translation project by Alpharobo I've been helping with. A short VN in a horror sci-fi setting, with awesome artstyle. The developers and artists would later become famous for the Viper series.
Download 1.01 here. (now with translated graphics, english credits and a brand new omake section !)
Holy Girl Force Lakers (May 2022) (Warning: Adult Content)
(Hacking by Alpharobo & Kirinn B, additional graphics by Anata)
Cult classic T-RPG with an awesome art direction, cool music, and an awesome sentai-meets-magical-girls like atmosphere. Oh, it also has some interactive sex scenes. Replaces the menu-only version I published last year.
Download 1.1 here.
Run Run Concerto (March 2022) (Warning: Adult Content)
(Hacking by tomyun & Kirinn B)
An early Elf action game, reminiscent of some very primitive version of Deshing Desperadoes. Except you lead a female runner team and there is a bit of strategy and resource-management involved (not to mention pathfinding for the later levels). Notable for being one of the few eroge that can actually be played in competitive 2 player mode.
Download 1.5 here (with a new and improved font rendering)
FOXY (February 2022) (Warning : Adult content)
(Hacking by tomyun)
An early strategy game by legendary eroge publisher Elf. Not their best work, but an interesting piece of history.

SCRIPT PORTS
Rance III - The Fall of Leazas (Warning: Adult Content)
(Hacking by RottenBlock & Alpharobo - original script by Tulip Goddess Maria)
Huge step from the two previous games, with high production values and a way bigger world to explore. Arguably the first masterpiece of the series. It also means a very big script and lots of bugs to iron out...
Toushin Toshi (February 2024) (Warning: Adult content)
(Hacking by RottenBlock & Alpharobo - original script by Arunaru)
Another ero-RPG, with a main character that's not as much as an asshole as Rance is. This is the last AliceSoft System 1.0 game that has an available English translation to port. Hacking was slightly more complicated than on the previous AliceSoft games, but as usual Alpharobo had no trouble figuring it out.
Download 1.0 here.
Rance II - The Rebellious Maidens (January 2024) (Waring: Adult content)
(Hacking by RottenBlock & Alpharobo - original script by HGTP Translations)
Second game from the series, with more refined mechanics and better art and plot. The existing script has been reinserted, with a few edits and corrections here and there (mostly in chapter 6). The hacking is now complete, the most complicated stuff has once again been masterfully handled by Alphabrobo.
Download 1.1 here.
Rance - Quest for Hikari (October 2023) (Warning: Adult content)
(Hacking by RottenBlock & Alpharobo - original script by HGTP Translations)
The infamous first game of the series. It's pretty short script, actually, but the data relocating process between the Windows and the PC-98 version made everything harder than in the previous AliceSoft projects. Nevertheless, it's now complete, so enjoy
Download 1.1 here
Little Vampire (October 2023) (All ages)
(Hacking by RottenBlock & Alpharobo - original script by RottenBlock)
Next step of the AliceSoft porting project. Original translation done by RottenBlock in 2020. The script is way better than the DPS one AND correctly formatted so it was done in a mere week.
Download 1.1 here
D.P.S (Dream Program System) (October 2023) (Warning: fucked up adult content)
(Hacking by RottenBlock & Alpharobo - original script by velt211)
An early AliceSoft game that includes a virtual console and three games, each one corresponding to a different erotic scenario. Some elements were re-introduced in the Rance and Toushin Toshi series. Serves as a starting point for a bigger AliceSoft porting project. Original script has been massively edited to sound more natural and correct the most blatant derps, but it has not been retranslated from scratch.

Amy's Fantasies (December 2022) (Warning: really fucked up adult content)
(Hacking by Tamamoball, Alpharobo & Kirinn B - original script by Himeya Soft)
The infamous Hiroyuki Kanno unmarketable porn VN he did to troll C's Ware, his editor at the time. It's a pretty disgusting game, but it's so (intentionally) dumb that it manages to be hilarious at the same time.
Being a script port of the Himeya Soft Windows version, and with ready-to-use powerful editing tools at my disposal, it was a pretty quick project. The longest part was editing the graphics, then there was only 6-7% of untranslated or very mangled text I had to edit.

Jast Memorial Collection (November 2022) (Warning: Adult Content)
(Hacking by Alpharobo & Kirinn B - original scripts by JAST USA)
The official English JAST USA translations ported from the MS-DOS to the PC-98 version. Includes a brand new title screen for Season of the Sakura and uncensored CG for Runaway City for the very first time on PC-98!

YU-NO: A Girl that Chants Love from the Edge of the World (December 2021) (Warning : Adult content)
(Hacking by tomyun - original script and graphics by TLWiki)
One of the most influential VNs of the 90's and Elf's most famous work. Based upon TLWiki's translation of the Windows version.
Download 1.04 here
Previously, I did some menu patches for Sei Shoujo Sentai Lakers III (adult content) and Tamashi no Mon: Dante no Shinkyoku yori (all ages)
They're not quite as polished as my later works, but at least they can help you if you want to play these games and don't know any japanese. They both come with a full walkthrough.
