CRW: Metal Jacket English translation
CRW メタルジャケット · Counter Rebellion War: Metal Jacket
46 OkuMen's complete English translation of CRW: Metal Jacket, a real-time isometric mech tactics game on the PC-98 that predates Front Mission, with a translated manual.
What's translated
All the mission briefings, dialogue and battle text are in English, and so is the interface. Much of the interface was actually drawn as images in an unusual format, so the team had to work out that format to redraw it, and several in-game windows were widened by hacking the code so the English fits.
Extras
The team also translated the game's manual, which is worth reading before starting since the game is played almost entirely with the mouse. Their project page also documents unused content they found, such as unfinished automatic unit control.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the project page, then play it in a PC-98 emulator.
