17 years and no other game since managed to get that same feel, and no sequel to make it a better version.

EXCELLENT GAME BUT THE TUTORIAL IS LYING TO YOU Great game. Fun, easy to pick up and put down, cute characters, hilarious writing, simple mechanics. Absolutely would recommend. HOWEVER Don't listen to the word the tutorial says about haggling. Don't haggle. Ever. You want to build up a combo by offering everyone a price they are happy with the first time. That will get your level up much faster. The game also won't tell you that everyone has a different wallet size, and a different price they think is fair. Keep all that in mind. That said, awesome game, play it.

Does it have issues running on newer hardware? Yes. Does it have outdated resolution? Yes, Is it a simple and good game, so good that it trumps those issues? Yes. Is it the best item shop rpg out there? Yes. What more could be said about Recettear? It's one of my favorite games and I'm happy to finally have purchased it on steam.
