Versions

Advanced V.G. was first released in 1994 as a port from the PC-98 version V.G. to the PC engine, and at that time many elements such as addition of story mode and change of voice actor were added. As a modified version, the PlayStation version was released in 1996, and the Saturn version was released in 1997 the following year.

Saturn and PlayStation versions are very similar, but Saturn has a slightly shorter load time, with some background graphics replaced. The characteristic difference is the slightly erotic image added when winning in the normal mode, and for this reason the Saturn version has a recommended rating of 18 years or older.
