+<h3>What is a Visual Novel?</h3>
+<p>
+ A visual novel can be seen as a combination of a novel and a computer game:
+ they're computer games with a large text based storyline and only little
+ interaction of the player. A typical visual novel consists of text over
+ an anime-style background image and is accompanied by background music.
+ Throughout the game, the player usually has to answer a few questions which will
+ have an effect on the story, thus playing a visual novel a second time while
+ giving other answers may result in an entirely different plot.<br />
+ <br />
+ For more information see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Novel">
+ the Wikipedia article on visual novels</a> or the description on
+ <a href="http://visual-novels.net/vn/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=259&Itemid=47">Visual-Novels.net</a>.
+ To get a general idea of the genre, try one of the free short visual novels from
+ <a href="http://at2006.haeleth.net/release.php">al|together 2006</a>.

+<h3>How about Eroge, H-Games and Dating Sims?</h3>
+<p>
+ An eroge or H-game is basically any Japanese game that features sexual
+ content. Many visual novels are eroge and many eroge are visual novels,
+ but this is not a rule. The definition of dating sim is a bit more vague,
+ but it's usually the same as a visual novel, except that a dating sim
+ generally uses a gameplay based on statistics.<br />
+ <br />
+ There are no strict bounds to the definition of "visual novel", most
+ eroge and dating sims include elements of visual novels, but may -
+ strictly speaking - not be visual novels themselves. As VNDB aims to
+ be comprehensive, we simply accept any game that contains elements of a
+ visual novel and is produced by a Japanese or Japan-related company or
+ doujin cicle.
+ <br /><br /><br />

+
+
+<h3>Why a Visual Novel Database?</h3>
+<p>
+ The internet is large, very large, but the number of English resources
+ related to visual novels is only very limited. VNDB attempts to collect
+ and present as much information as possible that would otherwise be very
+ hard to find for the English speaking audience. This way fans can easily
+ keep track of new releases and localizations of their favorite games,
+ while not having to browse numerous of indistinct Japanese websites.
+ <br /><br /><br />

+
+
+<h3>How can I help VNDB?</h3>
+</p>
+ There are many ways to contribute to VNDB. First of all you can freely
+ edit all information found on this website, so if you find any errors
+ just click the "edit" link on the top right of the page. You can also
+ add new information (visual novels, producers, releases) to the database,
+ though please search the database before you do in order to prevent
+ duplicate pages.<br />
+ <br />
