With a full English patch by MIJET, the Mega Drive action/RPG King Colossus can finally be enjoyed by those who don't speak Japanese. Some would say that it bears more than a passing resemblance to Falcom's flagship franchise Ys, and that might be so, but it also copied the quality gameplay and fun quest, so it's all good!

I just beat it yesterday, and I can't figure why they didn't release the game over here. While I wouldn't call it great, it is a good game that definitely deserved release over here. My main gripes with the game is that the levels lacked much in terms of puzzles and that bosses were largely pushovers. Most bosses could be easily defeated by activating the aura shield and spazzing out on them. The weapon system on the other hand was pretty snazzy, though I found the bows to be practically worthless.

A: Make sure your ROM file is not in an interleaved format.

What does this mean? I'm swedish, and I can't get this to work on either gens or kega. Do I need to add a header or something, maybe change the extension? But how? The file is named King Colossus (J).bin and is 1024 kb in size.

Shouldn't this have been a Hacks and Homebrews feature?

That's sort of a grey area, I'd say.. the only major modification to the game was the English translation. ..and there are other reviews here of Japanese-only games, so the only difference here is that the reviewer could partake in some good ol' fashioned reading and comprehension.

I'd say it belongs as a review, and a fine one at that.

Ok, since I had to reformat my PC, I lost my patched file. Could someone PM me one?

Well just picked the rom and patch up and started playing. So far me likes:) Kinda like a Secret of Mana/Evermore/Zelda/Landstalker type game. I'll post when I'm done.
