Accele Brid English translation
アクセルブリッド · Accelebrid
Aeon Genesis's English patch for Tomy's Accele Brid, a chase-view mech shooter with branching endings.
What it is
Accele Brid casts you as Ginei, who races an armoured suit called the Silver Mare. When an armed group hijacks the circuit during the big race and kidnaps his team's owner, he chases them down through twisting 3D tunnels and corridors. The camera sits behind the suit, a radar at the bottom of the screen is essential for staying alive, and there are six weapons to pick up and several possible endings.
What's translated
Aeon Genesis translated all of the game's text: the race briefing and regulations, the machine profiles and the story scenes between stages. The game is perfectly playable without Japanese, but the patch lets you follow what is going on. Version 1.00 came out on 28 May 2002 and is complete.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge following the instructions included by Aeon Genesis, available from the project page.
