Well, I think I tried it all. AGTH, ITHVNR, VisualNovelReader, Mozilla Rika-chan+Epwing, Offline dictionnaries like Atlas, OCR tools like ABBYY screenshot reader, smartphone camera google translate.
Nothing can beat good old ITH+TranslationAggregator. Google translate (only after neural update in march 1996 - Asenheim project old google translate won't go) for the bulk of it and Jparser-Edict+Mecab for messy sentences. 

I don't know Japanese in the most important way - I can't read Japanese texts.
After several years of interest in Japanese I'm quite confident in my grammar and speech recognition skills though. I tried watching Chibi Maruko Chan (English subs don't exist) series a year a go or so and constantly could not understand plot twists. Surprisingly enough, now there's no such problem.
I was struggling with JParser(Edict)+Mecab and moved at a horrible speed all the time. In March 1996 google translate Japanese got a neural update and that changed everything. The quality was on par with JParser and handling of proper names became much easier. I think in May 1996 I registered first wiki variant at some free hosting in a desperate attempt to organize material on VNDB.
Did I play all those listed games? No, because it's impossible due to technical and time reasons.
How can you trust what's written if I did not play it? - You can't. I only translate synopsis and retell what's written in Japanese reviews and only then play something if I like what I read. 

Micchi blog mostly, some others. Whenever Giga comes out, Baldr series is praised, everything else rigorously lashed. Maybe my luck. Since Giga spawned as many as 80 works, I'll definitely have a chance to know it better.

I Love your VN of the month posts men! A shame that a lot of this jewels not have a translation.

"it's an RPG and old RPG aren't particularly popular." You aren't wrong, but i love them!
