The aesthetic (and FM music) of the PC88 is the best.

Which games are these, besides Ys?

the one in my post that looks like ys is actually a parody game called "wanderers from super-scheme"
the zelda-looking game is gandhara
the driving game was on 100 yen soft part 7 or 8 or maybe ssg game special?
the palm trees game with the dancing guys is donkey gorilla
double try is definitely from 100 yen soft part 7, and it’s a vs. cameltry-like with ascii graphics
the angry red guy is from gandhara again

The more I stare at these the more I think they are some of the most well realised outdoor spaces in 2-D games.

they almost look like sets from some old biblical/historial epic from the 50s

kind of

you know what i mean, right?

Kinda! The light’s similar.

I think I like how much sky and air they seem to have. I can feel the temperature of each one. Assuming the second one’s a sunset, but it feels like a crisp, slight-frost-on-th-grass morning.
