Earlier today,
hap (known for his MSX1 emulator
meisei and his outspoken
Audrey Tautou worshipping) released an English translation patch for
Borfes to 5-nin no Akuma. This game is a fun, pseudo team-based, top-down action RPG, inspired by Legend of Zelda like many ARPGs from that time. If you get stuck, which you likely will, even after having read the included textfile like so very few people do, don't give up! But if you do, maybe a famous
mapmaker could be inspired to provide us with a map!
Some emulators, like meisei and openMSX, can automatically soft-patch the game for you. If you're not a fan of either, or want to play it on a FlashROM cartridge, use an external program such as
IPS4MSX, or
Lunar IPS (for Windows).
