Bikkuriman World English translation

ビックリマンワールド

A classic 1998 English patch for Hudson's PC Engine take on Wonder Boy in Monster Land, dressed up with Bikkuriman characters.

What it is

Bikkuriman World plays like Wonder Boy in Monster Land: you hop through side-scrolling stages, fight monsters, gather gold and spend it on better swords, shields and armor. Demiforce's patch puts the game's text into English and gives it the title of the arcade game it is based on, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, so you can follow shopkeepers, hints and the story without knowing Japanese.

The patch dates from 1998, one of the earlier PC Engine fan translations, and is listed as fully playable.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese HuCard, following the instructions that come with it. The official page is the patch's entry on romhacking.net.

The translation is by Demiforce.
