Mad City English translation
マッド・シティ · Maddo Shiti · The Adventures of Bayou Billy
A full English translation of the Japanese version of Bayou Billy, which keeps the gentler difficulty, the quiz mode and the multiple endings the export lost.
Why this version
Konami's Western release, The Adventures of Bayou Billy, is known for a punishing difficulty. The Famicom original, Mad City, is more forgiving, has a few voice samples, a non-interactive quiz mode and more than one ending. Until this patch, playing it meant reading Japanese.
What's translated
Stardust Crusaders compared the Japanese script with the English Bayou Billy text, kept what held up, and had Jonny2X4 translate everything that was new or different. DvD hacked the game and designed an English title screen. Version 1.0 is complete.
