Translation NES / Famicom

Ganso Saiyuuki: Super Monkey Daibouken English translation

元祖西遊記スーパーモンキー大冒険 · Ganso Saiyūki: Super Monkey Daibōken

GAFF Translations' English patch for VAP's Journey to the West adventure on the Famicom, a famously rough game that you can now at least read.

What's translated

GAFF Translations put the Japanese text of Ganso Saiyuuki: Super Monkey Daibouken into English, so the messages you get while guiding Goku and the pilgrims across the map are readable. Version 1.00 came out in September 2015.

About the game

The game follows the outline of Journey to the West: the party crosses a large map toward India and deals with enemies and supplies along the way. It is a curiosity more than a classic, and the translation is the easiest way to see what it was trying to do.
