Shin Megami Tensei English translation
真・女神転生
Aeon Genesis' English translation of the first Shin Megami Tensei on the Super Famicom, Atlus' demon-recruiting RPG set in a ruined Tokyo.
What's translated
Aeon Genesis translated the game's dialogue, menus, demon analysis screens, shops and battle messages, so the whole adventure through Tokyo, from the first summoning program to the final choice between Law and Chaos, can be followed in English.
About the game
You explore Tokyo in first person, talk demons into joining you, fuse them into stronger allies and manage a party of humans and monsters. Which side you lean toward changes how people react to you and how the story ends, and the game is long, around 50 hours.
Fixes from other hackers
The 2002 translation is known to have bugs that can block progress, such as guns that can't be bought early on and an ending that can't be reached. Other hackers later released a bug-fixed version of the patch (by Orden) and an automap shortcut add-on (by Revenant); it's worth looking for those fixed versions before you start.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Super Famicom cartridge, following the instructions on Aeon Genesis' project page.
