Translation NES / Famicom

Ankoku Shinwa: Yamato Takeru Densetsu English translation

暗黒神話 ヤマトタケル伝説 · Ankoku Shinwa: The Dark Myth

snark's English translation of the mythological Famicom adventure Ankoku Shinwa, with a later addendum by Proveaux that finishes the title screen and restores full-length terms.

What it is

snark released this English translation of Ankoku Shinwa: Yamato Takeru Densetsu, the Famicom adventure based on Daijiro Morohoshi's manga, in June 2010 as version 0.99. Despite the number, the game is fully playable in English.

The addendum

In July 2016 Proveaux published an addendum to snark's work. It translates the title screen and lengthens terms that had been shortened to fit the original text space.

Playing it

Apply snark's patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, then the addendum if you want it, following the instructions on the translation's romhacking.net page.
