Games and comics were considered childish pastime activities, a stigma they still somewhat retain today, and as such the development of adult games was behind closed doors while sales were under the desk.

Video home systems and video game consoles not only allowed for families to enjoy the latest all-American feel-good story from the comfort of their own couches, but also for discreet and private viewing of adult material.īut for the most part, the depiction of sex in Western video games and print media was, more often than not, crude and embarrassing.

Alongside the rise of adult entertainment acceptance, home entertainment was also becoming common in the average household. Ever since pornography shot into the mainstream’s eye in the 1970s, the adult industry suddenly enjoyed an all-new acceptance from a younger generation that didn’t blush at the sight of buttocks gyrating for minutes at a time. In the US however, things turned out a bit differently. Reception in Japan was, as with most other Parsley titles before it, cited as unimpressive and easily forgettable. True Love was Parsley’s 14th release, hitting shelves on June 9th, 1995. In particular, the game VENUS gained some attention and saw a re-release with added voice acting after its release in 1994.

Parsley achieved some minor success on the PC-98 and X68000 with their library of mediocre products and production values. True Love is an adult bishoujo (dating sim) game released by Software House Parsley, a small software developer who entered the industry 1989 with a game on PC-98 called Celery, with the objective being to combat a tornado made up of women’s clothing.

Do you remember your very first love? Was it that pretty girl next door that captured your heart from an early age? Or maybe that cute shy girl in your art class in high school? Maybe it was even your art teacher who you just happened to stumble in on while she was being molested and who rewarded you with a night of intimacy for saving her? Or maybe, just maybe, it was your cat who just happened to transform into a well-endowed beauty who had been put under a spell, and through your care and attachment as a pet owner had become naturally interested in coitus? Well, if you are the main character of True Love, all of the above may be the answer to that question.
