A. Introduction
|
|
|
|
1.) Kueller's Comments
|
|
|
|
Hello, yet again, and welcome to Dragoon-X Translation's second major release, Fire Bird!
|
|
Honestly, I never thought that I would ever make it to a first release, much less a second. Needless to
|
|
say, I'm very excited. And although it took us a year to translate 2 somewhat small NES games, this second year
|
|
is going to be bigger and better than the first, I guarantee it. Well, enough blabbering, enjoy the game!

|
B. Game History
|
|
|
|
1.) What the hell is Fire Bird, anyways?
|
|
|
|
This game was originally spawned off of a low budget, Japanese anime by the name of Fighbird (or Faibird). It involved
|
|
a team of pilots who pilot Fire Birds, which are ships which can morph into different things, such as tanks, and planes (elite!).
|
|
They always battled against an evil Emperor, with plans to take over the world. There is also
|
|
a very cool Fire Bird game for the Gameboy. If anyone has any more information about this
|
|
anime, or would be able to get us a copy of it, drop me a line at kueller@black-hole.com
|
|
|
|
2.) Prior Translation Attempts
|
|
|
|
The first attempt to translated Fire Bird came from a group called PL Trans Force. They were a group of
|
|
Polish hackers, who were attempting to translate FB into english. They were doing quite well, and even released
|
|
a patch, but unfortunately, internal matters tore the group apart, and the translation went belly up. The second attempt was
|
|
a secret project, much like this was, by a group named Imperial Translations. I guess they were still working on it, but since
|
|
the project was secret, I had no idea the game was already taken. However, since we were much further in the game, and their
|
|
translation was not progressing, they halted the project. The Harper from Imperial Translations provided us with an awesome
|
|
title screen hack for Fire Bird, much thanks to him!

|
V1.01
|
|
- Inserted transformation translation.
|
|
- Correct all text issues.
|
|
- Decided to leave mid level kanji as is, just cause it looks cool, and my graphic hacking skills suck.

|
- Initial release.
