Ganpuru: Gunman's Proof English translation
ガンプル · Gunman's Proof
Aeon Genesis's complete English translation of Ganpuru: Gunman's Proof, ASCII's Wild West action adventure for the Super Famicom.
What's translated
The whole game is in English: the opening story about the meteors that fell on Strange Island in 1880, the villagers' dialogue, the skill and item screens, and the save and game over menus.
The game
Ganpuru looks at first like a Zelda clone, with an overhead view, a world to explore and dungeons, but it leans much harder on action: you shoot and punch your way through enemies, keep a score and have a set number of lives. Aeon Genesis recommends it as a good game in its own right, as long as you don't expect a Zelda copy.
Credits and playing it
The translation is by Aeon Genesis. Version 1.03 came out in December 2002, a week after the first release. Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the Aeon Genesis project page.
