Translation NES / Famicom

Cosmic Wars English translation

コズミックウォーズ

popeyeotaku's 2024 update of the unfinished 1999 TransBRC translation of Konami's Famicom space strategy game Cosmic Wars.

About the patch

TransBRC released a partial English translation of Cosmic Wars back in January 1999, which stopped at version 0.993 and was never finished. In April 2024 popeyeotaku published version 0.999, a re-translation that builds on that earlier work.

The game

Cosmic Wars is a turn-based war game set in space: you command fleets, fight for control of planets and try to wipe out the opposing side, either against the computer or against a friend.

Playing it

The patch goes on your own copy of the Japanese Famicom cartridge; see its romhacking.net page for the files and notes.
