Translation NES / Famicom

Paris-Dakar Rally Special English translation

パリ・ダカール・ラリー・スペシャル

A complete English translation of the strange Famicom rally-action game Paris-Dakar Rally Special, from MrRichard999 and AgentOrange.

What's translated

All of the dialogue and the menus are in English, including the sponsor and company screens between stages, so the story and the shopping side of the game finally make sense. The title screen was also redrawn in English.

Who made it

MrRichard999 did the hacking and AgentOrange translated the text, with title graphics by pacnsacdave. An early version had a bug that broke play and was replaced a day later; version 1.02, with fixes by Proveaux, corrects the menu choices.

Playing it

The patch is for the Japanese Famicom release. Apply it to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the translation's romhack.ing page.
