Translation NES / Famicom

Fleet Commander English translation

A full English translation of ASCII's Famicom naval wargame Fleet Commander that also restores the real-world sides the game was based on.

What's translated

Everything is in English: the tactical map, ship and unit data, the command menus and the battle summaries.

What's changed

The original game is modelled on a Second World War campaign but calls the two navies by made-up names. This translation swaps them back to Japan and the U.S.A., as the game's source material intended. The title screen was also redrawn to match the look of the original box.

Who made it

MrRichard999 handled the ROM hacking, AgentOrange translated the text and pacnsacdave drew the title screen. Version 1.01 fixed a small text error on release day.

Playing it

The patch is for the Japanese Famicom release. Apply it to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the translation's romhack.ing page.
