The PC-9801, once Japan’s most beloved personal computer for both business and hobby use, returns in the Reiwa era with this stunning retrospective.


This first volume focuses on simulation games, introducing over 100 classic titles released between the 1980s and 1990s, brought to life with rich, full-color screenshots and detailed commentary.


Rediscover the origins of genre-defining series like:

  • Romance of the Three Kingdoms

  • Nobunaga’s Ambition

  • Tenka Tōitsu

  • Princess Maker


Each game is not only a nostalgic touchstone but a testament to the dedication and creativity of its developers, who achieved miracles within the memory constraints of the era.


This book is a must-have not only for simulation game enthusiasts but for anyone passionate about retro gaming and the history of Japanese PC culture.
