Most PC-98 translations patches don't end up on RHDN or even GBATemp. This thread aims at making a comprehensive list of released stuff, and info on ongoing projects.
The newer releases are always on top. The WIP projects are in alphabetical order.

Released
Usagi na Panic by ruiko & shru
A fun little platformer where you play as a bunny girl warrior fighting against penguin pirates. Cool, cartoony art style and neat level design.
Slayers by Alpharobo
Originally started by filler and EsperKnight in 2006, this project was left in hiatus for a very long time because of technical difficulties, and resumed by Alpharobo in 2024, who masterfully managed to complete it. It's a very nice dungeon RPG with a splendid art direction and a hilarious script. The game perfectly captures the atmosphere of the series, and fans will love the multiple references that are scattered everywhere. What are you waiting for? Play it now!
Dragon Slayer VI: The Legend of Heroes by NLeSeul
This Dragon Slayer spinoff spawned a long-running, still ongoing series of very nice classic J-RPGS. The PC Engine version of this one was localized, but pretty much butchered. If you plan to play the series, you should start by this version instead! The author is planning to do the second game as well, while the next three games are being worked on by Geofront (Windows versions only, sadly)
GaoGao! 1st - Radical Sequence by ValleyBell (warning: adult content)
A pretty wacky visual novel with nice production values, kickass soundtrack, and lesbian catgirls. Still nowhere as crazy as the second episode, but a very nice game nevertheless.
GaoGao! 2nd - Pandora no Mori by ValleyBell (warning: adult content)
The second episode has a deeper lore and is actually set in a post-apocalyptic world with killer viruses and beastmen (and women) everywhere. There's still a lot of funny dialogue and h-scenes involved, and a killer soundtrack to listen to.
Madou Monogatari 1-2-3 by Yuvi & SnowyAria
A trilogy of short dungeon crawlers. Puyo Puyo is actually a spinoff of this series. It has been released on multiple platforms and has fan translations on Genesis, PCE-CD and even Game Gear, but the PC-98 version is pretty unique. It has an unusual balance between cuteness and plain creepiness, and the best art of all versions. The team plans to do the sequel.
Patch for Madou Monogatari 1
Patch for Madou Monogatari 2
Patch for Madou Monogatari 3
Ayayo's love affair by danham (Warning: Adult content)
The follow-up to the first game is actually more of a game, with more than just a couple h-scenes to offer. It also has better production values. The third game is actually where the madness the series is known for really begins, but it's still a pretty cool bishoujo game if you're into these.
Wind's Seed by Lynn
A very nice mini-RPG that was distributed into the 7th issue of the "Disc Station" magazine by Compile. It's a cute, heartwarming game with incredible art and a very fun script.
Jan Jaka Jan by GAN (warning: adult content)
Elf's take on an ADV Mahjong hybrid. High production values and a fun script. Of course, you're supposed to know how to play mahjong ^^
Dead of the Brain by WINE
Cult-classic horror ADV. It's been totally retranslated just in time for Halloween, so ditch at once the Retronomicon version and play this one instead!
Dragon Knight II by elf89 (Warning: Adult Content)
The sequel to Dragon Knight (obviously). It's still an old-school dungeon crawler, unlike the sequels. This one has a better plot and is more evoluted altogether.
Fatal Relations by WINE (Warning: Adult Content)
Port of another Himeya Soft eroge, which was originally localized in the 90's. Has a way better soundtrack than the Windows version. A great alternative to the Asenheim version!
Hacchake Ayayo-San by GlazedHam (Warning: Adult Content)
A very, very short erotic VN that happens to be the starting point of one of the most insane eroge series ever.
Aegean Kai No Shizuku by Svipur
An atmospheric Myst-like with very nice anime graphics. Has a Windows remake in prerendered 3D. This version looks a lot better IMO.
Sword of Kumdor by Lynn
An experimental RPG that happens to also be a "blind typing" educational title. Very strange and funny atmosphere. Replaces the broken machine-translated version previously available.
Desire by MrSilentVid (Warning: Adult Content)
The first notable VN by Hiroyuki Kanno, the author of Eve: Burst Error, Xenon and Yu-No (and also Amy's Fantasies ^^). Doesn't use the previously available Windows script and includes a previously unavailable omake section.
