Evangelion: Kotetsu no Girlfriend (Girlfriend of Steel)
I know, I should have guessed it would be horrible. But I actually enjoy Japanese dating sims like True Love Story (I lived in Japan damned near a decade and speak/read pretty much fluently). I know that casts me in a bad light, but some of them are actually very well written. And the atmosphere of the games catches J-teen life quite well (frantic hellish study sessions, the desperate hunt for a disgustingly underpaid casual job, and the gaggingly difficult attempt for J-boys to meet the expectations of J-girls).
Kotetsu no Girlfriend was an exercise in name dropping. Any of the Evangelion games (generally from Broccoli, a developer associated with Gainax) that don't specifically deal with Angels and the whole impending 3rd Impact are generally about as fun as a flossing with piano wire. The Princess Maker-style 'Raising Rei' ("Rei"sing? lol) games were likewise just that - Princess Maker with different goddamn pictures.
