Translation PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16

Fushigi no Yume no Alice English translation

不思議の夢のアリス

An English translation of Fushigi no Yume no Alice, Face's PC Engine platformer, by Dave Shadoff, Diogo Ribeiro, filler and MooZ.

What's translated

The intro and ending story, the character dialogue, the magic book descriptions and the end credits are in English, with a new font and a localized title logo and graphics. The script builds on an extraction filler had made earlier; Dave Shadoff and Diogo Ribeiro did the translation work and MooZ helped track down key routines. Version 1.0 came out in November 2021.

Behind the scenes

The team documented how they did it, from the colored words and animated portraits in the intro to the font and title screen, in a write-up on GitHub.
