VN of the Month September 1997 - Comic Road
The best Visual Novel of September 1997 is Comic Road - a shy life simulator of a starting manga artist with a lot of animation and very cute scenes.
VN of the Month August 1997 - Kaeru nyo Panyon
Kaeru nyo Panyon is the only masterpiece game of August 1997.
VN of the Month July 1997 - Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 1: Nijiiro no Seishun
There are no masterpieces this month. Main candidates are Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 1: Nijiiro no Seishun and Shinseiki Evangelion Koutetsu no Girlfriend, but the latter one has little in the story department, it's more of a bakage for fans, so my choice is Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 1: Nijiiro no Seishun that was a very fresh game with those mini-games incorporated. It's only shortcoming is not sufficient length, but overall it's a very good quality product.
VN of the Month June 1997 - Zoku Hatsukoi Monogatari ~Shuugaku Ryokou~
We get only Zoku Hatsukoi Monogatari ~Shuugaku Ryokou~ as masterpiece in June.
Gao Gao! 3rd ~Wild Force~ / ＧＡＯＧＡＯ！３ｒｄ ~ワイルドフォース~ [Four-Nine]
Foreword: I've noted the series quite long ago, but only when approached 4th final work decided to play the prequel that's directly connected with 4th part.
VN of the Month April 1997 - Canaan ~Yakusoku no Chi~
Canaan ~Yakusoku no Chi~ stands tall as the only masterpiece of April 1997
VN of the Month January 1997 - Rookies
Ryouki no Ori Dai 2 Shou and Rookies are the masterpieces of January. But Rookies is a more traditional story-focused visual novel with charming characters and lots of kind humor. Rookies is VN of January 1997.
VN of the Year 1996 - Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO
VN of the Month December 1996 - Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO
Kichikuou Rance and Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO are masterpieces of the month, but even Rance can't compete with YU-NO this month.
VN of the Month November 1996 - Mashou no Kao
After starry October nothing really shines this month. If we narrow down the candidates I'd have to choose from Mashou no Kao, High School Days, Sotsugyou Shashin 2 ~Raspberry Dream~, Tsuioku
and Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: Hihoushima Arata Naru Sangeki. Last one is out as PS1 exclusive (win version nowhere to be found). Sotsugyou Shashin 2 is out as a difficult type of game for modern players. Tsuioku is way too obscure. High School Days is a really nice game, but even warm vanilla school game can't really invoke much interest with poor graphics and no voicing. I can't believe myself, but I'm nominating Mink's Mashou no Kao as VN of November 1996. This crazy nymphet game has a strong personality and leaves a lasting impact through the years.

Es no Houteishiki / Ｅｓの方程式 [Abodagio Powers]
VN of the Month October 1996 - Bounty Hunter Rudy
Star Platinum, Angel Halo, Stone Walkers and Bounty Hunter Rudy are masterpieces of the month. That's a difficult choice! I believe that Bounty Hunter Rudy is the worthiest for being VN of October 1996.
VN of the Month September 1996 - Sakura Taisen
Ma Doll and Sakura Taisen are the masterpieces of the month, but I prefer Sakura Taisen as VN of the Month
Be-Yond ~Kurodaishou ni Mirareteru~ / ビ・ ヨンド ～黒大将に見られてる～ [Silky's]
VN of the Month August 1996 - Be-Yond ~Kurodaishou ni Mirareteru~
Be-Yond ~Kurodaishou ni Mirareteru~ is the only masterpiece of the month.
VN of the Month July 1996 - Kizuato
Kizuato, NOëL NOT DiGITAL and Pia Carrot e Youkoso!! ~We've Been Waiting for You~ are masterpieces of the month, but Kizuato is the most fundamental one and thus is VN of the Month
VN of the Month June 1996 - Es no Houteishiki
Kakyuusei and Es no Houteishiki are masterpieces of the month, but my favorite is Es no Houteishiki and furthermore it's played like a regular novel and can be enjoyed nowadays.
VN of the Month April 1996 - Harlem Blade ~The Greatest of All Time.~
The only masterpiece of the Month is Harlem Blade ~The Greatest of All Time.~
Ushinawareta Rakuen / 失われた楽園 [Silky's]
Foreword: I erroneously marked this game as eroge and now it's the time to check out what it's really about.
Merry Go Round / メリーゴーランド [Mischief]
Foreword: Cyberpunk erotic action police story made me really curious. I was very skeptical of the Sammies review since he spent too much money to get windows version and turned to hate this work. And so I went to check it out myself...
