The terms "eroge" and "hentai" traditionally only refer to Japanese games therefore, any Japanese-made adult game qualifies for this group. Some very early Japanese adult games, as well as many 3D ones, tend to have a lesser focus on anime aesthetics rare cases such as Ayumi-chan Monogatari: Jisshaban even eschew them completely. Manga and anime aesthetics are commonly associated with eroge however, they are not a requirement.
For example, Cosmic Fantasy 4 Chapter 1 should not be classified as a hentai game. For the sake of clarity, games with rare and occasional glimpses of nudity do not qualify for inclusion in this group.
To illustrate: Yu-No can be part of the group Tokimeki Memorial games can not.ĭue to the nature of Japanese games, it is sometimes hard to determine what qualifies as explicit nudity and what doesn't. A game with heavy "bishōjo" characteristic (anime style, dating, romance, implicit sex, etc.) may be included only if it also contains aforementioned properties.
If at least one version of the game answers the above requirements, it may be included, even if its adult content was removed from other versions. Only games with explicit nudity in context of a sexual situation may be included in this group. However, there are also many eroge that belong to other genres, such as role-playing, fighting, strategy, and others. These games may include simulation elements, often revolving around dating pure sex simulation games are also not uncommon. The majority of hentai games are Japanese-style adventures or visual novels with minimal interaction, often also containing vast amounts of dialogue and a developed narrative. Night Life (1982) was the first commercially released eroge. GunBlaze, Eve Burst Error, and others) were re-released (usually on a console system) with all explicit content removed. The matter is further complicated by the fact that some hentai games (e.g. Bishōjo (美少女, "pretty girl" also referred to as Gal Game) is a rather vague designation, often used to describe any game in which the player character interacts with attractive anime-style girls, regardless of the adult content. In Japan, the preferred term is Eroge (エロゲ, short for "erotic game"). Hentai (Japanese 変態, "perverse" can also be understood as "shape-changing" or "weirdly shaped") is the term commonly used in the West for such games. This group may include any game with significant amounts of nudity and/or explicit sex scenes that was either made in Japan or clearly imitates the Japanese way of making such games.
