Eroge that everybody should have played
This post is based on a list of eroge that was going around 2ch early last year that went “You should be ashamed of yourself if you haven’t read these “books” before you were 20″.
Somewhere along while writing this I realised that this list is meaningless to post in English because the only guys that can really respond to it at all are the people that understand Japanese anyway, but it was too late and I finished the post.

Yamada Hajime and Tanaka Romeo are the same person with a different pen name, but they’re listed as separate authors in the list. Also it lists Saihate no ima as the other must read for Tanaka Romeo, but it’s probably the #1 game that I can think of to never recommend to people that are new to eroge because it was so intelligent that even eroge veterans(?) could not keep up with it.
