PC-FX was NEC's Japan-only console; the first games for it were released in the late 1994, the last in 1998. It sold very poorly and was heavily criticized for abundance of licensed anime titles with limited gameplay. Nevertheless, it is still dear to some anime-loving gamers, mainly thanks to beautiful anime-style FMVs in its games, but also because of some rare exclusive quality titles (such as for example Team Innocent).

I'm proud to announce than the entire PC-FX library (61 games) is now documented on MobyGames. The one "missing" entry is Anime Freak Vol. 4; however, this peculiar "magazine on CD" does not contain, unlike other installments of this series, any games.

I would like to thank the approvers (especially Servo) for the fast and flawless approval process that made adding all those games a pleasure for me.

I also thank the creators of Magic Engine FX, the outstanding PC-FX emulator.

I have submitted game entries and captured screenshots for most of the games (unfortunately, a few titles do not work with the current version of the emulator). What is severely lacking are PC-FX covers; only a few games in the database have them. PC-FX collectors of all countries, unite! We need more covers! :)

Analytically browsing through German games magazines, Patrick Bregger has managed to add almost 500 games in the 8 months he's been registered at the site. Not to mention a great number of MobyRanks, credits and trivia.

Props! And keep up the good work.

More than a year after our previous featured article, The World of Western RPGs by Drunken Irishman (now known as Rabbi Guru), we have a special treat for you!

Our resident expert Unicorn B. Lynx tackles a much-overlooked games genre: Hentai RPGs. An elephant in the room, never shown on our frontpage, but buried deep down into the search engine, the history and highlights of the genre are dissected. Unicorn B. Lynx distils the essential gameplay that made its mark, to weed out the titles that are important and need to be played, and not just for the pretty pictures.

I remember that once Kitsune Sniper told me he would probably never reach 10,000 contribution points here at MobyGames. Well, turns out he did! Kit is here for 6 years now and is mostly known among the regulars for his intense forum activity (not only at our boards, by the way) and his approval duties. He's also a licensed English/Spanish translator, if you need one! =P

Congratulations, Kit, and keep up the good work!

Brian has updated the search engine based on the feedback we received in the last round of testing. The new search is now the default search engine being used. The old search engine is still accessible for a little while longer. We encourage you to keep testing the new search and provide us with feedback. In another few weeks, we will be removing the old search completely. Thanks for all the valuable feedback.

We've also set up a MobyGames Twitter account. News posts are automatically tweeted when they are approved. If you have other ideas on how to integrate with Twitter, we would love to hear your suggestions in the forum.
