YUKI'S PC-88

■I'M THE OPERATOR WITH MY PC IDOL GENERATOR

In the 80's female idols were still everywhere and advertised everything. The only thing different then in comparison to the previous decades was that since the 80's were the 「hi-tech」 era, idols were now advertising VCRs and PCs as much as candy bars and instant ramen.

And when it came down to advertising personal computers in the 80's, no one did it better than the adorable-looking 「YUKI SAITO」.

Work in Progress

After a long-ass absence (sort of burned out of retro gaming), and with finally a new image editor, I expect to get back in the scene very soon and present you with even more awesome Japanese retro games.

For those of you who actually still come to this blog, I hope you like the new look (Photoshop oh how I missed you).

Please note that some posts will be messed out due to reduced size of the blog, but I plan to fix them all little by little

Also, I need to mention that I'm having some problems with the blog comments. I have my settings to auto approve any new comment, yet for some reason some of your comments still show as pending approval. I really don't know who to fix that unfortunately....

I will approve any new comment as soon as I see them. so if you're there let me know.
