From my understanding, this was a demake demo made to run on tape(!) on the clunky ol’ PC6001. Of course there’s a proper hi-res image of this scene, I was just curious how stable diffusion interprets the superchunky pixels. Unsurprisingly she doesn’t look like Lilia at all. 😋

EDIT - Added a non-anime classical painting version, which understood big hair = FRO TIME

Eggy

During the early days of computer gaming, publishers often found products by holding game development competitions. Enix was one of the first of these and found great success, so when Bothtec was formed in 1985, they did the same thing. The first result of this contest was Eggy, developed for PC-6001 by Atsushi Aoki and then ported to other platforms.

Jelda (Carry Soft - PC-6001 - 1983)

For whatever reason, Micro Cabin released two different games within a year of each other that have the exact same box art. Mystery House II got a new cover illustration when it was re-released on the NEC PC-6001 in 1983 and then the same artwork was used for 1984′s Worry on the Sharp X1

Maybe they used the same cover because Worry was initially trying to sell itself as another entry in Micro Cabin’s “Mystery House” graphical adventure series. However, later versions of the game actually removed the Mystery House moniker and sold the game as just “Worry” on the MZ-1500 and MSX in 1985 (even later versions of the Sharp X1 version seem to have removed the title). Micro Cabin must have finally realized how confusing reusing the same cover art was because the MSX version also sports a new cover illustration.

実は以前とっても汚くてオーバーレイシートもないPC-6001を3000円で見かけて悩んで買わずに帰宅して後で少し後悔した事も購入の後押しになったかもしれないな。でもこの本体はすごく綺麗だ、データレコーダのケーブルが付属してなかったのが悔やまれるな。 #PC6001 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ3iBa4p5_i/?utm_medium=tumblr
