🎮 About this game

This mode is designed to “bring the original experience directly to Steam” rather than presenting a modern remake. It is recommended not only for players who experienced the PC-8001mkII version of XeGrader, but also for anyone curious about the dawn of retro PC gaming.

Overview

Origin mode is a faithful Steam recreation of the very first version of XeGrader, originally developed for NEC’s PC-8001mkII in 1983. It places strong emphasis on capturing the atmosphere and expressive style of that era. Immerse yourself in the tension and distinctive worldview of early Japanese PC games, shaped by the creative limitations of pioneering hardware.
