#39 Horror Game 100 story challeng
It was July 1983 when Nintendo released it from the Family Computer(FC). In just a few short years thereafter, annual shipments of FC exceeded 10 million units, making it the game console that every child has. The new hardware that extends the performance of the FC is the 「Disk System.」 By connecting this to the NES, it would be possible to play with a larger capacity game software 「ROM」 than the FC, the most common practice was to place this at the bottom of the NES. However, the popularity of this was low, and I didn’t have it, but one of my classmates had it, so I was able to benefit from it. This innovative external hardware continued to decline while FC increased their sales numbers, therefore, the number of software sales was also low. One of the most precious horror games selected among them is 「The Girl Who Stands Behind “ファミコン探偵倶楽部PartII うしろに立つ少女)”.
