Translation PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16

Gekisha Boy English translation

激写ボーイ · Gekibo: Gekisha Boy

LaytonLoztew's 2023 English translation of Irem's offbeat photography game Gekisha Boy on PC Engine.

About the patch

LaytonLoztew released this English translation in June 2023. The game's premise is simple: pass the photography academy's eight tests by taking eight special photos in eight different places, and the patch puts the game's text in English.

An older translation

The game had already been translated back in 2001 by Zatos Hacks, whose version 0.99 was fully playable. The new patch is a separate, more recent take.
