RetroforceGO! Episode 79: Unrequited love in retro games photo

Happy Friday, listeners! Tomorrow is Valentine's day, so we thought we'd talk a little about unrequited love in retro games. Heaven knows we all understand what it feels like. Highlights:

  • Valentine's Day is stupid.
  • Do I hear 5 out of 5 chocobos?
  • CONTEST: Win a Bionic Commando lunchbox! Listen to the show for details and enter right here
  • Slip her the tongue
  • Bowser: Misunderstood
  • If I was a Kokori fairy, I'd hit it
  • Navi could be hot
It's ok if you didn't buy us chocolates or flowers. You could subscribe to us on iTunes and that would be okay, too. Or you could just go here and listen to the new episode.

Oh, you think YOUR Valentine's Day sucks!? My girlfriend and I have our anniversary the day before (today)!! So I have to go spend a ton of money and then do it again the night afterward! I love doing it for her, but it's not easy, that's for sure.

Later on, when I end the world, I will see to it that Armageddon happens on Valentine's Day.

Ocarina of Time really should have been called The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Pimp Cane because there were like 5 chicks who were potential love interests in that game.

Dating sim games?

I've played a few of those. In one the guy saved a girl from being raped, only to rape her himself. Another one had the guy turn into a girl, then both rape and be raped by both men and women.

At the risk of being called ignorant, doesn't dating sim basically equal hentai? :p

That doesn't sound like a dating sim, it sounds like Saturday Night

Hey ScottyG: believe it or not, there's some dating sims in English which are NOT porn. Start with the following: 1) Nummyz Flash games at http://nummyz.com/games.html 2) The Renai Games archive at http://www.renai.us I recommend Elven Relations, and Heart of Fire. 3) The fan translated doujin visual novels at http://www.insani.org Start with A Midsummer Day Resonance, or The Poor Little Bird -- they will stun you.

Since I am a crazy shoujo manga fan, I also recommend the DS games Princess Debut and Rhapsody. Very girly, but that is why I like them. If you like them too, you will be ready for the My Neoromance forums, and the world of otome games.

I take it you played one of the X-change games? I did too, but I do not recommend the series to anyone. The way the translation team keeps promoting them is one reason why we can't have nice things.

@ScottyG- most of the dating sims that are widely known are hentai ones. There are the obscure ones that aren't in the hentai genre.
