What's translated

Fuzzical Fighter mixes side-scrolling shooting with RPG trappings: gold, experience, upgrades bought in towns and conversations between missions. This patch puts that text into English, from the dialogue and shop menus to the status bar under the playfield, so the whole game can be followed without Japanese. It is one of the early translations from the WakdHacks group and dates back to 2000.
