Chester Field: Ankoku Shin e no Chousen English translation
チェスターフィールド 暗黒神への挑戦 · Chester Field: Challenge of the Dark God
An early Aeon Genesis patch that puts Vic Tokai's Famicom action RPG Chester Field into English, from town talk to the password screen.
What's translated
The script was translated by Akimaru and inserted by Gideon Zhi of Aeon Genesis, with the text kept close to the translation. Townspeople, shopkeepers and the elders who hand out hints all speak English, and the password screen's messages are translated too.
The game
Chester Field plays a lot like the side-view parts of Zelda II: you walk and fight through side-scrolling areas, then head into maze-like labyrinths that hide treasure. Between them, towns let you talk to people and spend your money on equipment.
Playing it
The patch dates from March 2002 and was released as a beta, since it hadn't been fully tested at the time; it has been playable since. Apply it to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom game, following the instructions on Aeon Genesis' project page.
