Dunno, Bishoujo/Erogames always seemed sort of slow and boring to me.
I'm not the kind of guy who would really sit around playing a game, choosing between options like "Yes" and "No." (And "Put it in," lol.)
Though my impression is pretty much based on the only game I ever bothered to attempt to play (since I was told it was the best one translated into English) Kana ~Imouto~.
I am, however, looking forward to mirrormoon's translation of Tsukihime to try out.
Yep, I remember watching Kiminozo, Tsukihime, Yamibou, Kita e, and Green Green around that time. All of them had interesting premises, IMO.
I was actually planning to stop watching Kiminozo before finishing episode 2... the end of that epsiode is pretty much what hooked me.
And Green Green, even though it had the normal ecchi anime formula... it had a weird turn of events toward the end. That, and practically set a new ecchi standard for upcoming harem-type anime.
