Translation NES / Famicom

Majou Densetsu II: Daimashikyou Galious English translation

魔城伝説II 大魔司教ガリウス · Knightmare II: The Maze of Galious

Stardust Crusaders' English translation of the Famicom version of The Maze of Galious, with a new English title screen.

About the patch

Stardust Crusaders released this translation in February 2021: Pennywise did the hacking, Ryusui translated the text, Graphicus designed the English title screen and cccmar tested it. It is listed as complete.

What's translated

The opening story, the dialogue with the characters you meet in the castle, item messages and the menus are in English, so the hints you need to find your way through the maze are readable.

The game

This Famicom take on The Maze of Galious is not a straight port of the MSX game: the castle and its puzzles were reworked for the console. You still switch between Popolon and Aphrodite, whose different abilities are needed to get past certain spots.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom cartridge, following the notes on the Stardust Crusaders project page.
