1995 did not bring as many masterpieces as previous years while increasing the total number of visual novels significantlyFirst of all, let's prolong the chart
| Year | Total | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1991 | 75 | ||
| 1992 | 80 | ||
| 1993 | 121 | ||
| 1994 | 155 | ||
| 1995 | 180 |
There's been a steady increase in total number VNs by 16% compared to year 1994.
The aftertaste is bitter as if I witness an overall decline in quality.

So let's see what year 1995 brought:
- The number of VNs with high difficulties and genre mixes increased steeply
- Command selection gets almost extinct being substituted with either point and click or ADV
- Moe first focused on in Classmates 2 started its victorious march through the time
- Conception of time showed up in several games at once after success of Classmates 1 and 2
- First Windows VN - Sinkha
Let's count the masterpiece level games of 1995:
2. Eve: Burst Error
3. Isaku
4. Kuro no Danshou: The Literary Fragment
5. Lilith
6. Mime
7. Mugen Yasoukyoku
8. Ryouki no Ori
9. Romance wa Tsurugi no Kagayaki - The Last Crusader-
10. Tokyo Twilight Busters ~Kindan no Ikenie Teito Jigokuhen~
11. True Love ~Jun'ai Monogatari~
12. Youjuu Senki 2 -Reimei no Senshi-tachi-
3. Isaku

12. Youjuu Senki 2 -Reimei no Senshi-tachi-
Just twelve works? That's a definite decline from 1994. Eve: Burst Error is an unbeatable giant this year. It is the best known old game that has not lost a grain of its charm to our days. It has all the rights to be the VN of the Year 1995.
Oh, and some final words. The era of pc-98 is actually almost gone. Year 1996 will the transition one and 1997 will have only some leftover slowpokes on pc-98 systems. So let's say thanks to the magnificent beautiful world of pc-98 and dive into... very crude and ugly works of beginning of windows era...
