As Al LaPrade writes on Hardcore Gaming 101: After 1990, Game Arts moved from PC to consoles.īut why didn’t we see more Nihon Falcom games from Sierra? Possibly Sorcerian didn’t sell all that well. I think Veigues was the only one they skipped, maybe because the graphics were too tricky. Sierra ported nearly all of Game Arts’ PC-88 games. Except where mentioned, these were developed by Game Arts. Sierra ported and published five titles 1987–90, after Ken Williams’ famous business trip to Japan. Nobunaga’s Ambition was originally, in 1983, published in BASIC. Koei’s games were released on multiple platforms in Japan as well, they are not especially linked to the NEC PCs. In 1988, they established a Californian subsidiary and from then on published at least every other game in the USA, on multiple platforms. It would easily make the list twice as long, but just add a lot of of “visual novels” with little or no gameplay. There are two restrictions to this list: First, I’m leaving out the ports to Windows. If you have any additions to make, please comment below. I don’t know if it’s complete, but I don’t think that a lot is missing. This is an attempt to list all the games originally developed for the NEC PCs and later translated and ported for release outside Japan.
