Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza!! English translation
ドラゴンボールZII 激神フリーザ!! · Dragon Ball Z II: Tyrant Freeza!!
Gyroballer's English translation of the second Famicom Dragon Ball Z card RPG, rewritten to stay close to the Japanese text and now fully separate from the older fan translation it began from.
What's translated
The story, battles and menus of the Freeza saga card RPG are in English. Gyroballer started from the older Saiya Translations patch but replaced it bit by bit; by version 1.02 the script, font and graphics are all new, earlier mistakes are fixed, and the text sticks closer to what the Japanese game actually says. There's also a new title screen.
No assembly hacks were used: the text fits into the original space with reorganised pointers and letter ligatures.
About the game
This sequel starts you with five Z Fighters and needs much less grinding than the first game. Guru powers up the warriors on Namek, and Goku can train in his gravity ship before the final fight. Passwords from the first game can be entered in tournament mode for stronger fighters and free items.
