Regarding PC games , taking advantage of its strengths as a hardware company, AMD released the "Amusement Board AMD-98" (released in February 1985), which added music functions and a joystick terminal to the PC-9801, which was primarily used for business purposes at the time, and made its own software compatible with it. After that, other companies also began to release compatible software, contributing to the expansion of hobby use of the PC-9801 .
He later created a series called " Novelware ," which influenced the later genres of sound novels and visual novels , and was one of the first to release a game that was compatible with MIDI sound sources at a time when FM sound sources were mainstream, and he put effort into fusing novels with sound. " 380,000 Kilometers of Void ," with music by Saito Manabu , was the first commercially available Japanese game to use MIDI sound sources for music playback.
