Japanese versions of Monkey Island?

[DeepPurple]

Hello,   Just wondering does anyone know anywhere on the internet where you can buy or download Japanese versions of the classic lucas art games?  (if they esist)

thanks for any info etc

[auhsor]

Not being Japanese I'm not sure that they exist. You may be able to do a google search tho.

that appears to be japanese Monkey Island, but I have no idea what a Mega CD is..

[Gilbert]

Yeah there used to be a lot of stock of it here when it was released, I just ignored it as I never owned a Mega Drive.

[sedriss]

Oh yeah.. Mega CD.
Its a cd-player for Sega Megadrive.

I was thinking about getting one of those when they came out, but it felt like a complete waste of money.

[Esseb]

They totally exist, and I totally understand nothing when I play them.



That's an FM-Towns emulator running a MI2 iso. You might be able to aquire the iso through less than legal means, the emulator should be easy to get hold of through google. Can't remember the url I'm afraid.

got a emulator of FM-Towns  searching franticly for a 'less than leagal' version of monkey island 2... hmm did they release any other lucas arts games on FM-town?

Thanks for the replys.

yes they did.. just lookie lookie over here..

but i don't know whether they are japanese or not..

Roughly:
"Then who the hell keeps order on the island?"
"Then who eats the donuts and exerts brutality over the homeless?"
"Please stop! I only just bought this coat!"
"If you don't want me to get angry, put me down right now." (lit. "If you don't want to meet painful eyes...")

"I'm thinking of chartering a ship and heading over to another island."

Wow!

I wonder what Insult Swordfighting was like in Japanese!

etc.

[Privateer Puddin']

I guess the same, just in Japanese ._.

[Meowster]

Not so. A lot of the insults had to be changed when the game was being translated into french and whatnot. Since Japanese is a very different language and culture, I would assume that a lot of insults had to be rewritten. I mean, they don't have sheesh kebobs(sp) over there.

[Privateer Puddin']

I wish the same care was taken when translating from Japanse to English

[Esseb]

They only had to change two of the insults which the translators refused to translate because they were too insulting. One involving parents and one involving farmers if I recall correctly. It's mentioned in one of the gamedev magazines and on mixnmojo if you're curious. As for the shish kebab I assume they just replaced it with another fast food.

[Las Naranjas]

On a stick presumably.

[Andail]

Japanese insults:

1. "You're a cowardly dog, swordmaster-san"
2. "You are a disgrace to your entire family, swordmaster-san"
3....

I ran out of material there. Perhaps some combos?

Latin, Shakespearean and Klingon versions available soon.
