I've been kind of fascinated by what I've seen of PC-88 games / aesthetic for a while now and felt like making a topic just to stockpile knowledge and resources of the subject.
I guess what I like most is the colour palette and strange crisp graphic style but some other features that should be noted are the strange sloppy lineart usage in the adventure games and also the weird mixture of japanese writing with english titles / company names (emerald moon by ponysoft etc).

Back when I was learning to write X68k music, I downloaded the soundtracks for about 500 MSX, PC88, PC98, X1, X68k and FM Towns games to figure out how they worked and what kinds of techniques they were using. I thought a lot of the songs in those soundtracks were really cool and so I decided to rip them and put them in a compilation. There's a lot of cool stuff here from a bunch of these computers, although most of them are X68k. Maybe you'll like some of it too -
Here are two samples -
Star Cruiser - Star Cruiser (X1) (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2957395/Star%20Cruiser%20-%20Star%20Cruiser%20%28X1%20OPM%29.mp3)
Blue Phoenix - Stage 2 (X68k) (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2957395/Blue%20Phoenix%20-%20Stage%201%20%28X68000%20OPM%2BMSM%29.mp3)

I love old FM music. I can definitely post more about it if you're interested!!
-
please do post more!! i've been really interested in learning to compose old fm stuff for a long time, but i always get too hung up on extraneous shit. especially the sort of jazzy, muzak-y synth rock that encapsulates the 90s Dating Sim feeling, but that's getting a little far from pc-88 stuff.

these are mostly pc98 so sorry if these are too "hd" for you guys

Yo chef def post more music if you feel like it at some point, that was some good collections (I was impressed by many songs... drop me a line if ya actually wanna hear thougths about any of them though, i'd rather not convolute this with bonzhit unnecessarily).
Here is an VERY important video though, everyone. Be sure to active the actual video's audio as well!!

What a classic computer, part of the reason I want to get some 5.25 floppies for my computer is so that I can collect some PC88 and X68000 games and play them on my computer. If I recall the Touhou games started off on PC88 correct? Or perhaps I'm mistaken.
