Translation NES / Famicom

Seirei Gari English translation

星霊狩り · Ghost Hunter

snark's English translation of Hudson's Famicom adventure Seirei Gari (Ghost Hunter), with a later improvement addendum by Proveaux.

What's translated

snark's 2007 patch translates the whole game into English under the title Ghost Hunter and is listed as fully playable: command menus, dialogue and the narration that carries the story.

Proveaux's addendum

In 2013 Proveaux released an addendum that builds on snark's translation to polish it further. It's a separate patch, applied on top of the translation.

The game

Seirei Gari is a text-heavy adventure where progress comes from choosing the right commands and talking to the right people, so it's essentially unplayable without being able to read it.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom game, following the instructions on the patch's page.
