Spelunker II: Yuusha e no Chousen English translation
スペランカーII 勇者への挑戦 · Spelunker II: Challenge to the Brave
Cabal Translations' fresh English script for Irem's Famicom Spelunker sequel, replacing an older 2003 patch with a new translation and fixes.
What's translated
This is a complete English translation of the Famicom game, made from scratch rather than built on the earlier fan patch from 2003. The game's text, class and item names and the status screens are in English, and the title screen was redesigned for the release.
The patch has had a few updates since it first came out; version 1.01b is the current one and includes bug fixes.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge's ROM, following the instructions on the patch's database page (it expects the headered Japanese release).
