Ancient Magic: Bazoo! Mahou Sekai English translation
Bazoo! Mahou Sekai
Aeon Genesis's complete English patch for Ancient Magic, Hot-B's old-school Super Famicom RPG about a young mage following in a famous parent's footsteps.
What's translated
The patch puts the whole game into English: story dialogue, battle messages, shops and menus. Aeon Genesis worked on it for several years, with the script finished in 2007 and the full insertion done in 2010, before version 1.00 came out on December 19, 2010.
About the game
Ancient Magic is a classic turn-based RPG with a strong tabletop fantasy flavor. You choose to play as a boy or a girl, travel to Selas to study at its magic school, and are sent on quests to explore ruins and learn new spells, with a party that grows to include a bard, a knight and a priest. Meanwhile a mysterious figure and the Veranede tribe are scheming in the background.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Super Famicom game, following the instructions on the Aeon Genesis project page, which also has many screenshots of the translated game.
