Booby Boys English translation
ブービーボーイズ
A complete English patch for Nichibutsu's hole-digging action game Booby Boys, covering the stage select, the boss and rescue dialogue and the credits.
What's translated
Booby Boys plays fine without reading Japanese, but the little text it has gives the trip through history its flavour. This patch puts all of it into English: the stage select screen, the lines spoken by the bosses and by the people you rescue at the end of each era, the staff credits and a handful of smaller bits elsewhere in the game.
The game
Each stage is a maze seen from above. Enemies chase you around, and your main tool is a shovel: dig a hole, wait for an enemy to fall in, then bury it. Treasure is scattered through the level, and every era ends with a boss.
Playing it
The patch is version 1.00 and is listed as complete. Apply it to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the romhack.ing page, which also credits the people behind it.
