Air Management '96 English translation
エアーマネジメント'96 · Aerobiz '96
Saralene's complete, polished English translation of Koei's PlayStation airline sim Air Management '96, the remake of Aerobiz.
What's translated
All of the game's text and graphics are in English; only the katakana subtitle on the title screen is left as it is, on purpose. The script started from the SNES Aerobiz text as a reference but was rewritten well beyond it, aiming for the feel of an official late-90s localization. Translated graphics follow the look of the Japanese originals closely.
The patch also sets a proper reverb for the game's audio, avoiding a sound problem that a quirk in the original code causes in many emulators. Version 1.2 is meant as the final update, polishing alignment and wording across many small parts of the interface.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese PlayStation disc, following the instructions on the official page. The author welcomes bug reports, however small.
