This topic was originaly specified for PC-88, but i have decided to brauden the topic to just Japan only PC Games from the early 1980s and onward.

Did you know, there was a PC-98 Megaten game from 1997. (偽典・女神転生　東京黙示録)

There used to be quite a bit of gameplay footage on youtube, couldn't seem to find it there

There was a 1999 remake for Windows 95/98, which dose have footage on youtube.

Never played either version before BTW.

What OLDSKOOL Japan Only PC games would you like to see on steam?

Well from my understanding, many of the early Ys games aren't available on Steam, despite all of the modern games being available.

I would also like to see Fire-Emblem, but that's never going to happen.

I also think it would be funny to have a collection of Visual Novels from the 80s on Steam (Maybe a separate collection for VNs from the 90s?). Translated into English, and reworked to run on modern systems. It would be a cool showcase of how far that particular sub-industry of games has come, that is accessible for people who only Speak English, and don't know how to get old games to work on modern PCs.

Dont' worry, it will be figured out. Besides who knows if these companies (e.g. Falcom) even archived the data for their old games (e.g.Dinosaur). Otherwise, might as well rip the data from a pre-existing copy.
