    Sotsugyou Shashin * Miki

    ~ SOTSUGYOU SHASHIN * MIKI ~
    Coconuts Japan / GX-Media
    Super CD-ROM
    1994

    I bought this game because my scholarly cousin Zigfriedonsky told me it's "historical."

    "The Duo's answer to Roommate Asami!" he exclaimed.

    I don't know what that means, but this is basically two digital comics on one disc. Each comic is a love story that can be played through in fifteen minutes or so.



    One focuses on high school students getting ready for a big bash, the other on some bums in a backwater village where the peasants are raucous.



    Sotsugyou Shashin, with its tale of young nerd love, is actually quite likable. It's very corny and mushy and sweet, and its music is nice. I played through it a number of times to see all the different scenes and outcomes.



    Miki, on the other hand, is rather dull; its music, irritating at times; and it has a "Game Over spot" to dread near its conclusion.
