That’s what I’ll try to do here, one game at a time, in chronological order. A lot has been written about these games, they are famous alone for being the first eroge ever to be released outside Japan, but rarely with a view on the Japanese originals. It lasted about five years and published four games. Whether the division was seen as a serious business venture, or just as a way to have some tax-deductible fun, I cannot tell, though some circumstantial evidence points to the latter. Megatech Software was a division of Liberty International Components, a distributor of passive electronic components with numerous partnerships in Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Similar to Seika’s Railroad Empire, it was a hardware company’s experiment in computer games. The story of Megatech Software is a strange chapter in the history of computer games, even in the tight context of foreign ports of Japanese home computer games.
