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

fmfridays has done a cool post about pc88 music disks here

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

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.
