Variable Geo (ヴァリアブル・ジオ, Variaburu Jio), also known as V.G., is a Japanese 2D fighting game and eroge series developed and published by TGL for consoles and under their Giga brand for home computers. The series focuses on an all-female martial arts competition where participants are required to promote various family restaurants by acting as waitresses when not fighting. The original Variable Geo was released in 1993 for PC-9801; after this first game, the series continued on home computers as an adult-oriented eroge including visual novel spin-offs, while a separate rebooted sub-series was made for consoles called Advanced V.G. with a story mode and toned down (or removed) explicit content, more akin to a regular 2D fighter. The Advanced line had three titles, the last being Advanced V.G. 2 on PlayStation in 1998, while the main line continued until 2004's V.G. NEO. Alongside the video games, OVA adaptations were also made based on the Variable Geo series.
