DU Update: A couple of bits
#243968 - 01/19/11 08:39 PM




We got two 1943 boards donated. One is a real Capcom board with working 8751 for decapping, the other is a bootleg. It's a bootleg of the Japan version, hacked to not need the 8751 and it changes the game to be an English version. They hacked up the "Battle of Midway" Japan text to be English, and it actually looks better than the title screen on the official English version I think.



We also got a newer revision of Road Riot 4WD. It has a service mode with more checks. You can see the old and new one here:

I actually like the original 1943 text better. This here looks 70s-ish.



Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.

A version of 1943 translated from Japanese to English by the bootleggers? Please post more screenshots! I think this may be the same version I played as a child...

I made a vid but it's mostly just attract mode. Do you remember anything else about it? Did it repeat the water backdrop on later levels etc.? Did you an tck targe?

YES! This is the version I remember... that nonsense phrase has stuck in my head for more than 20 years.
