Final Mission English translation
ファイナルミッション · S.C.A.T.: Special Cybernetic Attack Team
Stardust Crusaders' English patch for the Japanese version of Natsume's NES shooter known in the West as S.C.A.T.
What it is
Stardust Crusaders first finished this translation on 4 July 2009, and version 1.01 followed in March 2014. It covers Final Mission, the original Famicom release of the shooter that reached the US as S.C.A.T. The group calls it one of its early projects, set aside for about a year until its hacking skills caught up with the game.
What's translated
The opening and ending story text, which tells of cities wiped out from the sky and the two soldiers who fight back, is in English. The game itself is a tough, good-looking horizontal and vertical shooter, so there is not much text beyond that, but it lets you play the Japanese version with its own story instead of the American rewrite.
Playing it
The patch goes on your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions included with it. Get it from the Stardust Crusaders project page linked below.
