Dōkyūsei (同級生, or Classmates) is the first game in the popular Dōkyūsei series eroge by ELF. The original Dōkyūsei (also called Nanpa, meaning pick-up, due to its batch file name "nanba.bat"), released in 1992, is generally considered to be the first dating simulation.
There was an OVA series made from Dōkyūsei, which was originally a 45-minute one-shot, but the original release was expanded into two half hour episodes, with two more episodes added, for a total four, not including the original. (The first, original OVA was released as End of Summer, and episodes three and four were released as End of Summer 2 in the English market by SoftCel Pictures, an imprint of ADV Films). A two-episode sequel, entitled Dōkyūsei Climax Files was also released.
For other games and OVAs in the series, see Dōkyūsei series.
