Bomberman Fight!!
A Sega Saturn fan localization by Malenko and friends (aka the lowercase ateam).
This started out as something to do until I was ready to work on Terra Phantastica,
and it became the thing that delayed me from starting work on Terra Phantastica!
This would have never come out if Derek (ateam) didnt make the tools for it. The project
was dead in the water without him. Big thanks to BlueMoon for taking over text injection so
I could focus more on tile work.

FAQ:
Q: Are you going to replace the Japanese voices?
A: No. Not only are they quite charming, it'd be like making Ryu scream "DRAGON PUNCH!"
Q: How "literal" is the translation/localization?
A: The "story" is non-sensicle and really just serves and a silly reason for the bomber
battle to happen. That being said, we tried our best to stay in the spirit of the game while still having all the text fit. It all remains very true to the source material.
Q: Why do the Shiro Patreaons get BETAs?
A: It is my way of helping them get more subs, and me getting involved BETA testers. I
previously released betas to the public and didnt get a ton of feedback TBH.
Q: How much do you want for this patch?
A: Its free, don't pay for it. Pipe Dream Games is going to sell repros of this with my
permission if he feels like it still.
Q: Do you have a pateon or anything?
A: No patreon, I don't want to feel obligated to work on things when I'm not up for it.
You can buy me a donut if you want to. PayPal.Me (Malenko)...
(I’d also love a doughnut, especially if it’s Dunkin - we don’t have Dunkin Donuts over here! -SoloNerfherder)
Q: Where did you hide Craig Stadler?
A: I know this is a trolly question, and that is why I took the time to hide him in the game.
Q: You're releasing the tools and docs, arent you afraid someone is going to "steal your
work" and re-translate this game?
A: The reason I document everything and link to all the tools is so others can do this too
Q: Do you think people read the readme?
A: No.
