An '''''eroge''''' ({{lang|ja|エロゲ}}, ''eroge'', or {{lang|ja|エロゲー}}, ''erogē'', {{IPA|ja|eɾoɡe(ː)|pron}}), also called an '''H-game''', is a Japanese genre of [[erotic video game]]. The term encompasses a wide variety of Japanese games containing erotic content across multiple genres. The first ''eroge'' were created in the 1980s, and many well-known companies in the Japanese gaming industry originally produced and distributed them. Some ''eroge'' are primarily focused on erotic content, while others, such as [[Key (company)|Key]]'s ''[[Kanon (video game)|Kanon]]'', only contain occasional scenes in an otherwise non-erotic work. Games in the latter category are often re-released with sexual content removed for general audiences. Throughout its history, the genre has faced controversy for its use of explicit sexual content, and as a result has been banned from several console platforms.
