The first major title of the 1990s was "Tokimeki Memorial", released in 1994 by Konami who was on the verge of bankruptcy, the platonic dating sim becoming the first major "bishōjo" game since Koei's release of "Night Life". In 1999, "Kanon" was released by Visual Arts/Key. While the title was another "eroge" title targeted at males for its sexual content, the players began to identify with the protagonist and the idea overcoming "the emotional trials and tribulations of pure love." A late PlayStation 2 port removed the sexual content and sold better than the original, leading eventually to two anime adaptations.
