My first "real" web page, "Nickel's Bishoujo Home Page", is now open.
You can find it at <URL:http://www.halcyon.com/deloura/index.html>.

The term "bishoujo" is Japanese, and means something like "pretty girl".
There is a genre of games in Japan where most of the major characters are
female. Generally, your goal in these games is to impress one of those
characters in some way. Sometimes you want to make one "fall in love"
with you, other times you just want to be able to get along with them so
they won't get in your way during the game. It depends on the particular
game you're playing.

I want to eventually talk about (and give hints / spoiler information for)
a number of different bishoujo games on my page. Right now, it has an
extensive section on a Japanese Sega Saturn game called Sakura Taisen. (The
title would be "Sakura Wars" in English.)

There are a lot of pages out there that have very nice anime-style or
game-style art on them. This art is usually "bishoujo" in nature. So my
page also has a collection of links to (and descriptions of) many of these
art pages.

I hope you will take the time to look at my page if you like bishoujo games
or anime-style art. Any feedback is quite welcome, of course.
