ヴァリアブル・ジオ2.1 (Variable Geo 2.1) — 1996, 戯画(Giga), PC-9801

Well, here it is, the first ever footage of something I never thought would be so obscure that even most fans of its series would be surprised to hear about its existence... And that discovery is none other than V.G. 2.1, released by TGL's eroge subsidiary Giga on November 22nd, 1996, as an update patch for V.G.II: The Bout of Cabalistic Goddess that came with V.G. Perfect Collection, alongside other goodies such as the original drawings for V.G. I and II as well as GS, SC-55, and SC-88 MIDI files of tracks (plus a few unused ones) from said games. Other less noteworthy ones include a promotional video (and screenshots) for the then-upcoming V.G. OVA, artwork from the whole series up to this point, and what appears to be a series of 4-koma manga. But enough about Perfect Collection, because this is no minor update; in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Advanced V.G. 2 carried some of the ideas that have emerged from here, even though, quite frankly, I'm not familiar at all with that game, and that certainly won't change anytime soon. Anyway, as you can see, V.G. 2.1 is clearly a combat-centric patch, altering the game's core mechanics while also providing smaller changes here and there, some more noticeable than others, but here they are as follows: The desperation attack (or in this case, the "Geo Attack") system is now gauge-based, which requires getting charged by crouching and pressing both attack buttons at the same time, although it starts to charge automatically once you are low on health. The game now has a counter system, or "Variable Counter", as the patch notes (found in VG21UP.TXT) call it, performed by pressing both attack buttons while guarding at the same time. Weak attacks are now triggered as normal and can be used properly as a combo starter, as opposed to being only used as you are approaching your opponent in the initial release. Strong attacks are now performed by pressing forward and one of the attack buttons at the same time. A major bug where you could throw a downed opponent (and even win by doing that repeatedly with certain characters) has been fixed. A couple new moves are added to certain characters, and some of the pre-existing ones are tweaked. More info can be found in VG21WAZA.TXT and on this site: https://kurohane.net/old/vg.html The "Fight" graphic displayed at the beginning of each round is now replaced with a more dynamic one (obviously in Japanese) that comes together from both sides of the screen, plus enhanced hit effects are added, including a bit of blood. A couple new sprites are added to Yuka and Kaori, and some that previously went unused (at least, I know Yuka's weak low kick is one of them) now get to show here. And of course, there's the slightly edited title screen displaying "VG II.1" to indicate that the patch has been applied, though you can just replace VG2TI.HEM and trick someone else into playing the base game instead or even do the opposite by deciding to replace everything but this one, lol. By the way, thanks to DrNyquist from the PC-9800 Series Central Discord server for helping me run this one in Neko Project 21/W, but Will.Broke.It also deserves a mention here for trying to do so and getting this patch to work on real hardware in the process. -ShadowFlameWolf
