E.V.O.: The Theory of Evolution English translation
46億年物語 THE進化論 · 46 Okunen Monogatari: The Shinkaron
46 OkuMen's complete English translation of the PC-98 RPG that came before E.V.O.: Search for Eden, with a translated manual and an easy patcher.
What's translated
46 OkuMen's first project puts the whole PC-98 game into English: story text, battle messages, the evolution chart and the chapter title graphics. The team also scanned and translated the original manual and laid it out again in English.
About the game
E.V.O.: The Theory of Evolution is the computer predecessor of the Super Famicom's E.V.O.: Search for Eden. Each chapter covers a different period of Earth's history, and the creatures you meet are drawn from real paleontology. The story also goes further than the console game, past the arrival of humans.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the team's project page. Windows users get an all-in-one patcher (Pachy98, which the team built for its PC-98 releases), with separate patch files for Mac and Linux. The team recommends playing from the floppy disk images.
