Yami no Romance

I finally got around to playing the Yami no Matsuei games on this site, which I've known about for over a year, but never bothered to download.

And OMG the funny. You play as Tsuzuki, and attempt to hook up with your character of choice. But the setting? Is Cedar Point. I mean, it's supposed to be a generic amusement park, but all the pictures are from Cedar Point, and occasionally you can even see a sign reading 'Cedar Point' in the background. Except for the random pictures of Japan added in, because last time I checked, there are no giant neon signs in Japanese on Lake Erie. I am so entertained, because I was just there last week, and of course spent used most of the time waiting around in lines to plot out fics.

And... and... *dies* The roller coaster Hisoka is so scared of? (And I'm not commenting on that characterization, as much as I might want to...) Totally is the wimpiest, most boring kid's ride in the whole park. I usually don't even bother to ride it anymore.

The game is kind of addicting, though, if only because I'm tempted to do all the obviously wrong things to see how the other characters react. I got the Tatsumi and Watari endings on the first times I tried for them, but Hisoka's took me twenty times. So not fair. But Hisoka gets jealous when you go with Tatsumi! *snerks* I can't find Hijiri, who's supposed to be somewhere in the game, but I did find Muraki. And if you let him kidnap you, Hisoka will come and comfort you, which is a much easier way to get his ending.

I am way too amused by this game.

Hmm, I dunno. Do you have the RTP for RPG 2000 program? I don't know if that works with Macs, but you do need it downloaded before you can play the games.

I was going to ask that question. Because now I want to try it, too.

I wonder whether it would run under Virtual PC? Most Windows-only programs will, although they won't necessarily do it well or quickly. If it's not too processor-intensive, though, it might be possible. I'll have to bookmark this, and try the workaround when I get home. If I can make it run, and nobody's come up with a better solution by then, I'll let you all know --

Oh, thank you!

I'm always so embarrassed when I reccommend something and then realize that it might not work on everyone's computers. And I am so Mac-incompetant; my entire experience is limited to using them only when I'm at the computer lab and every single PC has been taken, and then I usually only poke at it for a few minutes before getting annoyed that they have the mouses without a right-click button and giving up. ^^;;

All of which is the long way of saying that it would be so cool if you could figure out a way to make the games work on a Mac, because I have no hope of doing it myself.
