| − | '''Project EGG''' (simply referred as '''EGG | + | '''Project EGG''' (simply referred as '''EGG''') is a storefront that offers emulations of several retro games made by Bothtec and later, managed by D4Enterprise after buying Bothtec's assets. It focuses on distributing old Japanese PC games for Windows (and for a short period of time, Pocket PC) users in Japan, but over time, games hailing from home consoles, Arcade boards and even handheld systems appeared in the service. |
While most games in the service are paid on the top of a monthly tax being paid, some of them are distributed for "free", most of them being titles that D4Enterprise bought over time (Compile, T&E Soft, etc.). In order to pay both the games themselves and the monthly fee, a credit card that accepts purchases from Japan is required. Otherwise, PayPal can be used, although additional taxes from PayPal itself will be added. After the game being bought, the user may get a instruction manual in PDF format, which may also include posters, guides or maps for several games that are JRPGs or strategy games. | While most games in the service are paid on the top of a monthly tax being paid, some of them are distributed for "free", most of them being titles that D4Enterprise bought over time (Compile, T&E Soft, etc.).

In a way, it is known the MSX emulator used in Project EGG is based on [[fMSX]], due to the ROM/BIOS files sharing the same name as many other MSX emulators uses (including re-releases of MSX games on [[Wii]] and [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]]). The PC Engine emulator used on 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console seems to be based on the same emulator made by D4Enterprise on Project EGG. | In a way, it is known the MSX emulator used in Project EGG is based on [[fMSX]], due to the ROM/BIOS files sharing the same name as many other MSX emulators uses (including re-releases of MSX games on [[Wii]] and [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]]).

It should be noteworthy that some games get delisted and available once again due order to how [[Microsoft]] enforce software companies to optimize software for Windows 10 or 11, but not for Windows 8.1 and below. |
